Control Wiring
Multiple Control Protocols
To ensure maximum versatility, the Universal Source Controllers
provide full compatibility with a range of control protocols,
including:
• iCAN bus
•
DMX512A
•
RS-485
• Ethernet
Connections for the iCAN bus, DMX512A and RS-485 protocols
are made using
removable plug blocks which snap into
terminals mounted on the control circuit board. A standard
RJ45 socket is provided for the ethernet connection.
In addition, a separate connector block (labeled ‘Contact
closure’) allows two volt-free switch inputs from external
systems. Subject to configuration menu settings, these inputs
can be used to affect selected channels.
The control connections are located just below the control
panel, accessible either through a removable mini panel or
when the complete casing is removed.
Termination
The iCAN, DMX and RS-485 are ‘daisy-chain’ protocols that all
require termination on the devices located at either end of the
chain.
The Switched Relay Controller provide jumper links adjacent
to the iCAN, DMX and RS-485 connectors. As standard, all of
these interfaces are terminated. To remove termination for a
particular bus, move the associated termination jumper from
the upper two pins to the lower two pins.
