Traffic light control unit · new
VIACONTROL
Two traffic lights, three inputs, one display: alternating one-way traffic made simple.
Available configurations
One control unit, three logics.
VIACONTROL is Stagnoli's traffic light control unit for ramps, gates, crossings and private roads: a single 6-module DIN-rail unit that controls two 2- or 3-light traffic lights, reads two call sensors (IN1, IN2) and one alarm input (IN3), and has two auxiliary outputs to start the automation or for other uses. It is programmed from a 2.2" colour display and works in priority, time-based or state mode.
Priority
Green to whoever calls from the sensors, with clearance
Time
Fixed cycle, even without sensors
Status
Green as long as the input stays active (PLC, push buttons)

Simulator
Watch it work.
A narrow ramp, two traffic lights, two loops. Choose the mode, send a car from one side or press alarm: the control unit reacts just as it would on site.
Operating mode · F1
Rest state · F3
Inputs
What happens
- RestTraffic lights in the rest state set with F3: the control unit waits for a call.
- CallA vehicle on the loop activates IN1 or IN2 and books the green for its side.
- Green and amberGreen for TV1 or TV2, then amber for TAR: the queued cars go through.
- ClearanceAll red for TSG until the lane is clear; then the other side, if it has called, or the rest state.
- Green side 1Green on S1 for TV1, red on S2. The loops are ignored.
- Amber and clearanceAmber for TAR, then all red for TSG.
- Green side 2Green on S2 for TV2, red on S1.
- Amber and clearanceAmber for TAR, all red for TSG, and the cycle restarts.
- No commandWith no active inputs both traffic lights stay red.
- IN1 activeGreen on S1 and red on S2 immediately, for as long as IN1 stays active.
- IN2 activeRed on S1 and green on S2, again with no timer.
- IN1 and IN2 togetherInconsistent command: the control unit protects itself with all red.
At rest both traffic lights are red: the control unit waits for a call from the loops.
- TV1
- 7 s
- TV2
- 7 s
- TAR
- 2 s
- TSG
- 5 s
Times shortened for the demo: on the control unit TV1, TV2, TSG and TAR can be set from 0 to 999 s in the TIMES menu. AUX1 and AUX2 are configured here as the «green» of their traffic light (F9, F10). Logic from the VIACONTROL user manual.
The interactive simulator is designed for larger screens: open it on a computer or tablet to try the logics, sensors and alarm.

Fields of application
Where VIACONTROL works.
Wherever two traffic lights have to alternate on a narrow passage, with the electrical panel close at hand.
Exits onto roads
Traffic light on the road green at rest, inside traffic light red on the exit: a single sensor at the inside traffic light on the exit calls the green.
Priority
Industrial driveways
Continuous vehicle traffic: the time-based cycle alternates the two directions even without sensors.
