Centralised Control and Monitoring System
(CCMS)

At CITiLIGHT, our Centralised Control and Monitoring System (CCMS) offers an end-to-end solution for smart group control of street lighting.

The system includes robust hardware (Remote Terminal Unit or RTU) and an integrated software platform, designed to help cities save significantly on energy costs, reduce maintenance efforts, and enhance operational transparency.

Installed at the streetlight switching point, the RTU enables intelligent control and communication between lighting infrastructure and the central management software, offering real-time insights, alerts, and automation.

Key Features

Remote monitoring and control of grouped street lights
2G/4G communication with fallback ensures connectivity from any location
Real-time fault alerts with timestamp and priority tagging
Automatic scheduling using astronomical calendar and pre-set routines
Integrated software suite with mobile application support
Map-based asset tracking and live network status display
Secure, role-based user access with audit trail and user activity logs

Our CCMS system accurately monitors a comprehensive set of electrical parameters essential for effective street lighting management.

These include line voltage and current, as well as active, reactive, and apparent power. It also tracks the power factor, overall energy consumption, and lamp power, along with the run-time hours of each connected lighting unit.

Hardware Highlights

Supports both 1-phase and 3-phase energy meters
MODBUS RTU protocol for reliable data transmission
Surge protection, short circuit, and overvoltage safety features
RTU stores up to 2–3 months of local data
Cloud or on-premise hosting options available

Configurable Settings

Over/under voltage and current thresholds
Start state (Input/Schedule/Manual)
Fade time, alert priority
Data transmission settings
RS485/RS232 port support

How it works

RTU Installed at Switching Points
Positioned at feeder panels or switch points, the RTU forms the hardware backbone for grouped light control.
Energy Meter Integration (MODBUS RTU Protocol)
The system connects with 1-phase or 3-phase energy meters, capturing power data and transmitting it to the microcontroller at pre-configured intervals.
Real-Time Data Exchange with Web Application
The RTU establishes bidirectional communication with a centralised web-based platform — sending performance data and receiving control commands.
Remote Commands & Automation
Operators can remotely switch lights ON/OFF, dim them, or activate emergency overrides. Schedules can be set using astronomical timers or custom routines.
Local Data Storage & Cloud Sync
RTUs can locally store up to 2–3 months of data, ensuring system continuity even during network outages. Data syncs with cloud-based or on-premise servers.
Fault Detection & Alert Generation
Inbuilt diagnostics continuously monitor for over/under voltage or current, lamp faults, and more — triggering alerts with timestamps and priority tags.
