Connections
– Back
Some of the connectors on the base can be changed or configured to customer
specifications.
For example; The
Data In
connector can be either a
3 pin XLR
for RS485 data input or an
RJ45
for IP connection. The
RJ45
can be configured as a loop-thru, via the slip rings, to the
RJ45
at the top.
Data In
As standard this is an XLR3 connector for D*
Protocol over RS485. It can be replaced with
an RJ45 connector and an
IP interface
fitted
inside. This can receive either D* or M*
Protocols over IP. Alternatively, this can be
connected through the slip rings (if fitted)
directly to the RJ45 Loop connector at the
top.
Power 48v
A 48v PSU is supplied with the unit which connects here. D* data can also
be injected into this socket if required. See Pinout details below.

The
Free-D
format can be either original angular format or RAW as a
numerical format which allows for 360 degree positioning data. The data
format for this connector is configured from our
Multi Function Controller
