Philips Dynalite GRMSPLUS guestroom management system

Philips Dynalite has added another element to its Guest Room Management System. GRMSPLUS focuses on energy management, automation and occupancy comfort and is targeted at high-end hotel room applications.

The DDMC-GRMSPLUS system offers out-of-the-box functionality designed for the hospitality segment, and is claimed to offer cost savings through the minimisation of hardware and commissioning requirements, as well as through optimised operational expenses.

The system can also be used for applications such as control of boardrooms, classrooms or residential apartments.

The system is designed to integrate with a hotel’s building management system (BMS) and make use of network user interfaces. This facilitates remote monitoring and control of the lighting and automation systems within the hotel room.

Based around the architecture of the DDMC802 Multipurpose Controller, the system has been redesigned for hotel room applications. The result is the DDMC-GRMSPLUS Controller, which incorporates five dimming channels and an additional three relay channels for non-dimmed lighting groups. It also includes a power relay channel for isolating power outlets to eliminate standby current consumption, two-directional motor controls for blinds and a DMX output to support colour-changing lights.

The unit can be preconfigured in the factory for a project’s particular requirements, which means installation is a simple plug-and-play operation with no need for on-site commissioning. An accessible dipswitch package allows the installer to allocate the room number so that it can be identified by the BMS.

The solution uses Antumbra panels as its default user interface.
