System description This chapter provides an overview of the structure and a short description of the basic elements of the parking guidance system. Cabinet modules (DIN-rail mounted) Type of Description Photo Part Number module Monitoring gateway and controller. UWP 3.0 UWP30RSEXXX (See Datasheet) Dupline®...
Sensors Each parking bay belonging to a lane/line needs a sensor to detect a car. Each sensor must be connected to a 3-wire carpark bus, assigned by the UWP 3.0 Tool, to transmit the sensor status (occupied, vacant, disabled, VIP, etc.). The built-in LEDs will clearly indicate to the drivers if the parking bay is available or not.
Displays Displays show the number of available carpark bays and / or the direction. The display can be mounted anywhere on the Dupline® bus and can be programmed to show whatever number of available bays the installer decides: in total, lane by lane, bays for disabled, for VIP or a combination of the different options together.
® Planning a Dupline Parking Guidance System (PGS) An old proverb says: ‘A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.’ As in any good system, the majority of your time and effort should be spent in the ‘planning’. At first sight, you may think that the design of a Dupline®...

1. Gathering information about the parking system Acquire any technical drawings and layout of the parking system. The drawings should: • always be the latest version so to avoid any mistakes in the work. • consist of lanes, cross-sections, parking bays (both regular and for disabled), location of displays and cabinets, cabinet size, available power and the location of the equipment room where the software server will be installed.
2. Lane, line and position We use the terms Lane, Line, Position to refer to the logistics of the sensors in a carpark installation. The Lane is the physical lane in a real parking lot. It can be a long or a short lane with a variable number of sensors.
3. Designing the placement of sensors, indicators, cable trays and cabinets 1. After the definition of the LLP for each bay, choose among bay-mounted vertical sensors, lane-mounted 45-degree sensors or sensors and separate LED indicators. Note: If you want to use external LED indicator SBPILED, please make sure they are installed on the lane, so that they are visible for drivers at a satisfactory distance.
4. Addressing parking bays and displays You can address the parking bays and the displays using the UWP 3.0 Tool. Notes • All the sensor bases have a unique SIN number. The SIN numbers do not need to be in consecutive order, but their activation does.

• If the line has less than 50 sensors and the wire is longer than 150 m (490 feet), please refer to the voltage drop calculation described in the CP3 Installation manual (Calculation). For placing 50 sensors on a line and 90 sensors on a generator, the lane must be divided into four equal parts, with 38 sensors in each part, and 4 lines for one lane.
6. Designing the placement of displays 1. Define the number of displays based on the natural flow of cars in the parking facility, by making a walk-through or drive-through with the customer. 2. Take any architectural considerations with the customer regarding signals, finding the drivers’...

In this example, we do not have a display showing the available bays for disabled people. However, it would be easy to add a separate display to the software, and we would recommend to order some extra Carlo Gavazzi modules: •...

You should mount the three cabinets C1, C2 as shown in the scheme above. If it is not possible, you should find an alternative placement. Note: the distance between the cabinet and the last sensor on a line has not to exceed a voltage drop of 3.5 V.
Example 2: a PGS for multiple floors Planning a Parking Guidance System (PGS) with multiple floors implies the same considerations for planning one floor only. Determine displays, lanes, natural car flow in the Parking Guidance System and, of course, all the other phases in the process mentioned at the beginning of this installation manual.

The two displays showing the available bays on all the disabled parking bays are connected to any 3-wire Dupline® bus via a display interface module. In this example, we have 12 lanes so we need 12 SBP2MCG324s, one for each lane. Note: It is possible to manage the system with fewer SBP2MCG324s, but to keep the installation easy and logical, we use one SBP2MCG324 for each lane.
CPY Server is integrated into the UWP 3.0. In installations with mote than 630 bays (up to 10 UWP 3.0 controllers), a dedicated SBP2CPY24 is required. Note: if additional bays are needed, please contact Carlo Gavazzi for further information. Car Park 3 – Planning and design...
We recommend the use of inexpensive standard 3-wire, unshielded 1.5 mm (14-16AWG) cables for the Carlo Gavazzi Dupline® Parking Guidance System. In order to reduce man-hours for the installation, we have designed the sensor in such a way that it can be wired easily and quickly without the use of screwdrivers.
Next Steps Installation and configuration After finishing the planning process, the installation can start: wires pulling, rails installation and mounting of sensors, displays and cabinets. Using the UWP 3 Tool software, the installer can then program and test the parts of the installation before the entire installation is finished.
