Crestron DIN-2MC2 DIN Rail Motor Control

DIN Rail Motor Control: DIN-2MC2

Introduction

The DIN-2MC2 is a 2-channel motor control module designed to provide
control of bidirectional motors for drapes, shades, projection screens,
lifts, skylights, and gates. Each channel supports up/down or open/close
control of a conventional three-wire bidirectional type motor up to
1/2 HP at voltages up to 240 Volts. Built-in timing and interlock logic
make it easy to program the DIN-2MC2 for failsafe operation.

Features and Functions

• Dual-channel bidirectional motor control

• Supports 120 to 240 Volt 50/60 Hz

• Override input

• Cresnet

• Setup via front panel or software

• Programmable functionality via DIN-AP2

• 6M wide DIN rail mounting

DIN Rail Motor Control Crestron DIN-2MC2

Override Input

An override input is provided to allow an external contact closure to
momentarily override the control system program and set each channel
output to its override preset state. States can be set and saved locally from
the front panel, or remotely via software.

DIN Rail Installation

The DIN-2MC2 is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for
installation in a wall mount enclosure. Wiring connections are made
using screw terminals positioned along the top and bottom, clearly
accessible from the front for easy installation and servicing. All setup
controls and indicators are positioned on the center front panel. When
installed in an enclosure utilizing 45 mm cutouts, the DIN-2MC2's front
panel stays accessible while the connections are concealed.

Cresnet®

The DIN-2MC2 communicates with a DIN-AP2 2-Series Automation
Processor, or other Crestron
control network. A pair of Cresnet ports is provided on the DIN-2MC2
allowing for easy daisy-chaining of several DIN Rail Series automation
control modules.
