Current Source and Current Sink
ProPlex 0-10V DMX Converter is an analog lighting control protocol whereby a
control voltage between 0-10V DC produces varying intensity levels in a lighting
fixture.
There are two 0-10V standards that are not compatible with each other:
1) Current Source was originally used for controlling theatrical lighting,
standardized by ANSI E1.3;
2) Current Sink is a method of 0-10V control used mainly in controlling
ballasts, and more recently, LED Drivers. This method is standardized by
IEC Standard 60929 Annex E.
The fundamental difference between the two protocols is where the control voltage is
coming from. Current Source requires the controller to generate or “source” the low
voltage signal. In the case of current sinking, the device under control (ballast, driver
or dimmer) supplies the voltage, which “sinks” through the controller. When
specifying 0-10V controls, you must be certain that both the controller and the
lighting device being controlled utilize the same protocol.
