Application
The new Adeo Server Gateway SGDD-C4-4 is a multi-output device that operates at the network level and allows data packets to be
routed to fieldbus communication systems such as DMX512A and DALI to provide advanced lighting control. Once the IP address is
assigned on the Composer Pro, the SGDD-C4-4, through specific drivers, is able to manage the individual channel or RGB through
DMX or DALI. Communication is bidirectional, so from the Control4 interface we will always have the updated status of the lights.
Moreover, the MODBUS port can become a second DMX port to be connected, for example, to external light control units.
The SGDD-C4-4 device stores information from the configured receiver buses in a buffer and transmits it to the configured transmitter
buses. In the default configuration, a single buffer, corresponding to a DMX universe, is managed and controlled via the Ethernet
interface. On the DMX bus, all of the 512 channels of the buffer are transmitted; on the DALI bus, the first 64 channels of the buffer
(64 short addresses) are transmitted according to an algorithm that updates the fastest changing channels more frequently. This
default configuration allows a total of 512 levels of light intensity to be managed through any control unit with an Ethernet connection,
and to control different devices without the need to know in detail how the relevant protocols (DMX or DALI) work.
Specifically, DMX/DALI conversion is possible in installations where DMX and DALI are used simultaneously. The supply voltage is
between 12 and 48V DC and is fitted with DALI short-circuit and overload protection.
The SGDD-C4-4 provides, via its incorporated flash memory, a Web Server interface on which a standard application is loaded that
allows real-time data setting or monitoring from a PC, Tablet or SmartPhone. With the SGDD-C4-4, advanced lighting control is
possible at network level, with the advantage of intelligent communication through different communication buses. Indeed, SGDD-C4-
4 manages the data and bus interface in a transparent way, allowing easier system configuration.
