Configuration
This section highlights the main configuration options, available on the DIP
switches on the rear of the unit.
Switches 1-4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the Router Management System and other units in the NCB
system. The panels on the NCB dedicated to operate with the router must
be configured to the same level as that router.
The levels can be switched according to the patterns given in Tab le 5. The
default level is 1.

Dynamic Fallback Mode
When the GPI is activated the X-point status is saved before switching.
When the GPI is released again, the panel will switch back to the previous
saved X-point status.
Hard-set Fallback Mode
When the GPI is released, the panel will switch to a previously configured
fallback input. The fallback input is configured using the input buttons, see

Note This information is applicable only on GPI versions.
Switch SW 6 on the configuration switch set the Joystick priority of the GPI
panel, either to release before switch or to switch before release.
Release Before Switch
This is used in both GPI and Joystick mode. The activation of a new input
line will have no effect until the previous line is released. If more lines are
activated in sequence, the latest activated one will result in a switching as
soon as the previously active is released.
Switch Before Release
This is used in both GPI and Joystick mode. The activation of a new input
line will generate a switching, regardless of how many other lines that are
already set.

LED Status Indication
Start Up
The LED located at the front of the router indicates the status of the router.
At start-up, the LED will alternate between red (R) and green (G) every
500ms for about two seconds. After the start-up sequence the LED will
indicate the Alarm state of the router.
Alarm States
The LED can either be red (R), green (G), or have no light (N).
The LED state is described in Tab le 1 0 below with twenty letters, each representing 100ms, which totals an alarm sequence of two seconds. The X
indicates that the LED keeps the color it has the moment the alarm
sequence begins (green, yellow or no light).

Router Communication
Router Communication
You gain access to router for communication purposes by connecting either
the router’s serial port to your computer.
Serial Connection
Connection can by made trough the serial port(s) of the router; see also Con-
nection Details on page 9 for connection details.
The communication parameters are configurable. Please refer to the protocol documentation of the appropriate communication/control protocol.
Example: The protocol parameters of the Triton Plus Compact routers are
as follows:
• Bit rate 19200 bit/s
• Data bits 8 bits
• Stop bits 1
• Parity: No parity
For further detail concerning this protocol, please refer to the following
manual: Compact Router Control Protocol.
The DB9 female connector for the serial port(s) of the router has the following pinout (Tab le 11 ):

Note If the standard RS-232 cable specification (DCE) is followed:
A cable with Male+Male or Female+Female connectors at the cable ends is
used for Rx/Tx crossed connection.
A cable with Male+Female connectors at the cable ends is used for a straight
through connection.
16 Triton Plus - Control Panels - User Manual
Maximum Cable Length (RS-232)
IEEE has specified the maximum cable length for an RS-232 connection to
15m. Longer distances can be installed depending on the environmental
conditions of the installation site. It is the responsibility of the
installer/user to secure a proper installation of the RS-232 connection.
NCB Connection
Via the Network Control Bus system, several routers and control panels can
be interconnected.
Up to 16 levels of routers, or combinations of routers, can be controlled. The
NCB system and all RS-232 ports interchange the system status. This means
that any control system, either from Grass Valley, or from a third party
manufacturer, connected to any RS-232 port in the NCB loop, will have
access to all communication data on the bus.
Connecting Control Panels
Router Communication
To get a control panel working with a specific router, configure the control
panel to the same level as the router. Several panels can be configured to
control the same router. Panels can also be connected to a router via the
RS
232 interface. Please refer to your control panel manual for installation.
Pinout and Cable Type
Triton Plus routers and Control Panels use RJ45 connectors for the Network
Control Bus ports. The following pinout shown in

Termination Plug
The following connection example (Figure 2) shows connection of four
Triton Plus devices with RJ45 connectors and bus termination:
Figure 2. Four Devices Connected Together Using RJ45
Note Each device at the end of the chain has a termination plug, indicated with the
letter T. This termination plug must be inserted in the correct connection port.
If not, no NCB communication is possible.
The termination plug that is mentioned in the previous chapter is necessary
when you want to avoid closing the loop with a (long) cable.
The termination plug is a standard RJ45 plug with the following internal
wiring shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. RJ45 Termination Plug Wiring
18 Triton Plus - Control Panels - User Manual
Control Bus Structure
The Network Control Bus structure follows the standard MIDI bus definition. The NCB is defined as a closed chain of units. This means that the NCB
OUT of the last unit must be connected to the NCB IN of the first unit in the
NCB chain. To avoid problems with the control of Triton Plus units the
installer/user has to assure that the bus structure is installed according to
this definition.
Note The total number of Triton Plus devices in an NCB chain is limited to 50.
Maximum Distance Between NCB Devices
The standard MIDI definition allows a maximum cable length of 200-250
meters between two devices. Longer distances can be made with MIDI
repeater units. To avoid grounding problems all NCB ports have opto-cou
pled inputs.

GPI Connections
Note This information is applicable only on GPI panel versions.
The GPI / Joystick / Tally signals are connected to the Triton Plus Control
Panel with GPI options using DB25 male connectors. Each Triton Plus CP
with GPI I/O has 32 GPI inputs and 32 GPI outputs available, independent
of panel size.
Note The GPI connectors on the CP are DB25 females.

All inputs internally connected to +5V via a pull-up resistor. The inputs will
be activated when pulling them to ground. Ground is available on the following pins: 2, 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 and on the connector chassis.
All outputs are of open collector type. An output can switch a maximum
load of 100mA at 30V. Any device to be controlled by the GPI outputs
(lamp, LED or similar) needs to be connected to an external supply voltage
on one end and to the GPI output on the other end.
WARNING Do not connect external supply voltages higher than 30V DC.
