DDNG485

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to rain or moisture. Installation, programming and maintenance must be 

carried out by qualified personnel. All local wiring and electrical regulations must be followed when installing device. 

Overview

• 

Powered by DyNet – 

Mains supply not required.

• 

Two optically isolated RS485 Ports –

 3.75 KV isolation.

• 

Powerful internal PLC – 

Custom scripts can be written to 

provide process control based on conditional logic.

• 

DMX integration – 

Receives up to 64 DMX channels.

• 

DIN rail mounting – 

Six units wide.

• 

Many control options – 

Device is controllable via a combination 

of methods, including a serial control port, relay contacts, wall-

mounted user interfaces, infrared receivers and timeclocks.

Read Instructions

 – We recommend that you read this guide prior 

to commencement of installation.

Warning

 – This is a class A product. In a domestic environment 

this product may cause radio interference in which case the user 

may be required to take adequate measures.

Special Programming

 – Once powered and terminated correctly 

this device will only operate in basic mode. Advanced functions are 

commissioned via the Envision software. If commissioning services 

are required, contact your local distributor.

Check Connections

 – Tighten all load-bearing screw connections, 

as vibrations from transport can cause the terminal block screws to 

loosen.

Mounting Location

 – Install in a dry, well-ventilated location.

Data Cable

 – Use screened, stranded RS485 data cable with three 

twisted pairs. Segregate from mains cables by at least 300mm.  

Connect devices in a ‘daisy chain’ configuration. A data cable that 

is connected to an energized device is live. Do not cut or terminate 

live data cables.

Installation Steps

1.  Mount the device on a DIN rail inside an appropriate enclosure. 

Alternatively there are 3 holes provided to fix the device to a 

surface without the use of DIN rail. Remove the front cover to 

access these holes. Pull back the DIN rail clip detail to reveal 

the mounting holes.

2.  Connect data cables to the device as per diagrams. Note that 

the device is powered from the DyNet network segment that is 

connected to Port 1. When implementing Repeaters, connect 

the link to Port 2 of both Gateways. Shielded cable must be 

used for long runs. When implementing Trunk / Spur topology, 

connect the Trunk to Port 2 and the Spur to Port 1. Note that 

up to 375mA of power from the DyNet network on Port 1 is fed 

to Port 2, so provided there is surplus power available on the 

Spurs it is normally not necessary to provide a network power 

supply for the Trunk.

3.  If using the device as a DMX receiver, ensure DMX termination 

rules are obeyed and use a 120 Ω terminating resistor across 

the D+ and D- terminals at the end of the line. Note that Port 2 

should be used for DMX Reception.

Example of repeaters

The maximum recommended length for DyNet cables between two 

network bridges is 800 meters. For cable runs over 300 meters or 

baud rates over 9600 bps, a 120 Ω end-of-line resistor must be 

installed across the D+ and D- terminals of the DyNet connector strip 

on the last device. For more information, contact Philips Dynalite.
