Shade & Drape Motor Controller:
C2N-SDC
Introduction
Features & Functions
The Crestron C2N-SDC is a shade and drape motor control Cresnet® slave module designed to control two bi-directional 1/3 HP motors that drive shades and drapes. The C2N-SDC is specifically designed for the Cresnet control network and functions as part of a complete Crestron control/automation system. Low voltage input power for the control electronics is derived from the Cresnet +24 VDC supply. Two 4-pin terminal block connectors are provided so that units can be daisychained.
Functional Summary
•Controls two shade or drape motors individually or simultaneously
•Each motor may be up to a maximum of 7.5 A (1/3 horsepower)
•The C2N-SDC fits inside a standard 2-gang or 4” square electrical box
•Manual pushbutton control is provided on the faceplate
The C2N-SDC is designed to fit inside and mount to a 2-gang wall box or 4”x 4” x 1.5” electrical box, where input power for the two shades or drapes is derived from mains wiring. Pigtail wires attached to the rear of the unit provide wire connections for 120 VAC and ground.

Two 4-pin terminal blocks for motor connections accommodate up to 14 AWG wire. Each shade or drape has connections for up drive, down drive, common (neutral), and chassis ground (if available). Hardware prevents both the open and close motors from operating simultaneously. Also, firmware logic provides a minimum time delay so that both the open and close motors are off for a short period of time when the directions are reversed. Additional control is available via Cresnet.
Four pushbuttons on the face of the unit allow the motors to be activated without Cresnet control, which is particularly useful when operating the unit locally during installation.

Setup
Network Wiring
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, should be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (http://www.crestron.com/calculators).
NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate for your specific system configuration, available from the Crestron website.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The length of the run in feet and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the resistance equation below to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation

The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.

NOTE: All Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
Refer to Viewport definition on page 27
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (Net ID or Cresnet ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program.
The Net ID of the C2N-SDC has been factory set to 0E. The Net IDs of multiple C2N-SDCs in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Viewport.

NOTE: If communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide (latest version of Doc. 6256) for details. If an earlier control system is used, refer to the latest version of that control system’s Operation Guide.
There are two different methods—Method A or Method B—for setting the C2N-SDC Net IDs:
Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID), described below, applies to C2N-SDCs in a Cresnet system with a CNX control system or with a 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version prior to 3.008, but can be used with later versions of firmware and requires that a single unit be the only network device connected to the control system.
Method B (Touch Settable IDs), which begins on the next page, applies to C2N-SDCs in a Cresnet system with 2-Series control system upgrade file (CUZ) version 3.029 or later. These upgrades enable Touch Settable ID (TSID) functionality, which makes it possible for the control system to recognize a network device via its serial number, which is stored in the device’s memory. This method does not require that any devices be disconnected from the network; Net IDs may be set with the entire Cresnet system intact. This method requires the use of the Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.
Use the appropriate method to set the C2N-SDC Net ID.
Method A (Cresnet address-settable ID)
1.Ensure that the C2N-SDC is the only device connected to the control system.
2.Open the Crestron Viewport.
3.From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Set Network ID. The software checks the baud rate and then opens the "Set Network ID" window.
4.In the "Set Network ID" window, select the C2N-SDC from the Current Network Devices text window.
5.Select the new Net ID for the C2N-SDC from the Choose the new network ID for the selected device (Hex): text box.
6.Click Set ID to initiate the change. This will display the "ID command has been sent" window.

7.In the "Command Complete" window, click OK.
8.In the Current Network Devices text window, verify the new Net ID code.
9.In the "Set Network ID" window, click Close.
NOTE: The new Net ID code may also be verified by selecting
Diagnostic | Report Network Devices in the Viewport (alternately, select F4).
10.Repeat this procedure for each C2N-SDC to be added to the system.
Method B (Touch Settable IDs)
Before using this method, you should have a list of all current network devices and their Net IDs, to avoid assigning duplicate IDs.
Set Net ID by TSID
These procedures are for TSID-enabled network devices during the initial configuration of a Cresnet system or when such devices are being added/replaced.
1.Ensure that all C2N-SDCs are connected to the control system.
2.Open the Crestron Viewport version 3.35 or later.
3.From the Viewport menu, select Functions | Assign Cresnet ID by Serial Number. The “Set Net ID by TSID” window appears. The window is first displayed with the data fields empty. (Refer to the following figure.)
