Abstract
An expandable dock monitor and control system having a communicating pile light assembly. The communicating pile light assembly has an electrical system with a controller assembly. The communicating pile light assembly is mounted onto a pile at a dock. The expandable dock monitor and control system further has a gateway/controller system, a local interface device and at least one sentinel. The sentinel has transmitting circuitry to transmit specific event information to a nearest and/or respective communicating pile light assembly, which relays the transmitted specific event information to the gateway/controller system, which deciphers then notices the local interface device. The controller assembly has an RGB and white light controller section, an accelerometer/remote sensor inputs/relay outputs section, a transceiver/digital address tag section and a power supply section. The expandable dock monitor and control system additionally has a remote interface device and a remote access gateway.
