OVERVIEW
The #1016 eDIN 8
-
port RDM Hub brings flexibility to
single universe DMX512 distribution systems.
Through the use of automatic DMX512 sensing,
across four operating modes, any port may detect
a roving DMX512 source and act as an input; or
two inputs may be merged together; or the user
may select between inputs; or a priority scheme
may be invoked. The module is RDM discoverable
and configurable, as well as daisy
-
chainable.
The eDIN RDM Hub features terminal strips that can be
removed from the card to facilitate easy wiring installation
or replacement. Make the following connections,
WITH
THE POWER TURNED OFF.
POWER
The RDM Hub will operate on a range of voltages from 9
-
30 volts DC. Each eDIN module requires 250mA.
Observe the correct polarity when connecting to V+ and
V
-
. A second set of terminals are provided as a thru con-
nection to other eDIN modules. The EARTH GND termi-
nal must be connected to the enclosure
’
s chassis or elec-
trical ground terminal to ensure EMC compliance.
DMX512
DMX512 (DMX) connections consist of a shield and data
pair. DMX usually comes from a lighting console, Path-
port
®
gateway, architectural controller or another #1016.
Connect DATA+ and DATA
-
to D1+ and D1
-
. Observe
the same polarity convention throughout the system.
Connect the cable shield or common wire to the SHLD
COM terminal.
DMX TERMINATE
Each port on the RDM Hub is auto
-
terminated as required
by its operation.
CONFIGURATION
To configure, press and hold the function button until the
current Function LED begins to flash. Momentarily re-
lease then press the button to cycle through the operating
mode options. Once the desired mode is selected,
release the button. After three seconds, the LED will
change to a steady glow and the new mode will take ef-
fect.
