DMX Interface - PWINF DIN CC

[203.2mm]

12-Channel Contact Closure

OVERVIEW

The Pathway DIN Contact Closure interface (PWINF DIN CC) provides twelve DMX-controlled, form-C relay closures for low voltage power or signal switching.

RDM discoverable and congurable, with a DIN-rail mount

that makes installation fast and easy.

CONNECTIONS

The PWINF DIN CC features terminal strips that can be removed from the card to facilitate easy wiring installation or replacement. Make the following connections, WITH THE POWER TURNED OFF.

POWER

The module will run on a range from 9 to 30 VDC at a maximum of 6 Watts. Observe the correct polarity when connecting the V+ and V-. A second set of terminals are provided on the connector to daisy-chain power to other DIN modules. The EARTH GROUND terminal must be connected to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical ground terminal to improve EMC compliance.

Manual

the switches provide no voltage or current on their own. One connection is to the supply and one to the load. Each relay has three sets of contacts; normally-open (NO), normally-closed (NC), and common (C).

Generally, the normally-open contacts are used; providing an open switch that closes when the relay is energized. Normally-closed contacts operate in the opposite manner, providing a closed switch that opens when the relay is energized.

All common terminals are independent of one another.

DMX512

DMX connections consist of a shield and data pair. Connect the DATA+ and DATA– wires to D1+ and D1- respectively for each of DMX IN and DMX THRU. Observe the same polarity convention throughout the system. Connect the cable shield to the SHLD COM terminal.

DMX THRU may be daisy-chained to the DMX IN of other DIN mod-

ules.

DMX PRESENT RELAY CLOSURE

Starting with rmware 1.5.5, the J13 DMX present relay closure is supported. Wire RCOM to RNO or RNC for normally-open or normally-closed, as desired.

CONTACT OUTPUTS

The PWINF DIN CC can be thought of as twelve DMX controllable switch closures. As switches, they need two connections each, as

Manual

CONFIGURATION

The DIN user interface has two operating modes: Function and Edit. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select a function, indicated by the LED next to ADDRESS, MODE, UTIL, or TEST. Once selected, press and hold the ENTER button until a dot appears in the lower right-hand corner of the display. The card is now in EDIT mode.

ADDRESS changes the DMX start address. MODE sets one of nine di󰀨erent operating modes. TEST allows the user to test the contact closures using the ▲ or ▼ buttons. Test patterns depend on what mode the card is operating in. For UTIL mode, see the section labeled “UTIL MODE” to the right.

SET OPERATING MODE

Once in EDIT mode, choose from the following:

• MODE 1: 12-Channel Maintained Control

Each relay is maintained “on” as long as the DMX value of its associated channel is above 50%.

• MODE 2: 12-Channel Momentary Control

When the DMX channel for a given relay passes through the 50% threshold, either increasing or decreasing, the relay will

close for 100mS.

• MODE 3: 12-Channel Momentary “ON”

When the DMX channel for a given relay is increasing and passes through the 50% threshold, the relay will close for 100mS.

• MODE 4: 6-Channel Momentary Split

Each adjacent pair of relays are associated with a single DMX channel. When the DMX level of the channel for a given relay pair passes through the 50% threshold, increasing, the lower number relay will close for 100mS. When the DMX level for a given pair passes through the 50% threshold, decreasing, the higher number relay will close for 100mS.

• MODE 5: 6-Channel Maintained Split

Each adjacent pair of relays are associated with a single DMX channel. When the DMX level of the channel for a given pair passes through the 50% threshold, increasing, the lower number relay will close and maintain state, while the higher number relay will open. When the DMX level for a given pair passes through the 50% threshold, decreasing, the lower number relay will open while the higher number relay will close and maintain state.

• MODE 6: 12-Channel Momentary Split with Secondary ‘Reset’

2 sequential DMX channels are associated with each adjacent pair of relays. When the lower DMX channel increases through 50%, the lower numbered relay will close for 100mS. When the lower DMX channel decreases through 50%, the higher-numbered relay will close for 100mS. To provide a secondary reset, when the higher DMX channel passes through 50%, increasing, the higher relay will close for 100mS. If the higher DMX channel decreases through 50%, the relays remain unchanged.

• MODE 7: Chase

Each relay will be triggered for two seconds. This mode is intended as a test feature, independent of the user-initiated TEST

mode.

• MODE 8: Single Channel Select

Raising the DMX level of the start channel will maintain each relay in turn, from none up to the twelfth. At a DMX percentage between 0-8%, no relays will be triggered; a DMX percentage between 9-16% will maintain relay 1 only; a DMX percentage between 17% and 24% will maintain relay 2 only; and so on. In this mode, the Contact Closure Interface has a DMX footprint of one channel.

• MODE 9: Single Channel Build

Raising the DMX level of the start channel will trigger each relay additionally. At zero percent, no contact closures will trigger, while at full, all twelve contact closures are triggered. At a DMX percentage between 0-8%, no relays will be triggered; a DMX percentage between 9-16% will maintain relay 1 only; a DMX percentage between 17% and 24% will maintain relay 1 and relay 2; and so on. In this mode, the Contact Closure Interface has a DMX footprint of one channel.

UTIL MODE

Firmware 1.6.0 and higher: UTIL adjusts the DMX trigger threshold. Valid range is 2 to 253, with a default of 128 (50%). Feature not available on older rmware.

Firmware 1.5.5 and lower:

• UTIL Mode 1: normal operation.

• UTIL Mode 2: the number 12 relay will trigger whenever DMX

becomes present or is lost. Momentary or maintained behavior is governed by the operating mode of the card.

TEST AND SELF-TEST

Once in TEST mode, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to trigger the selected relay or relay pair. The test function is operating mode dependent and will cause the card to ‘ignore’ the DMX input.

Press the ▲ button while turning power on to enter Self-Test mode. All LEDs will ash sequentially. The display will cycle 0 through 9, then show the cards serial number and rmware version. Cycle

power to end self-test.

RDM RESPONDER FEATURES

The PWINF DIN CC is fully compliant with ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management as a responder device. An RDM Controller can discover and set the card’s DMX start address, rmware version and operating mode. Starting with rmware 1.5.5, and RDM utility (Pathscape) can upgrade the rmware in the eld.

DMX TERMINATE

DMX rules require the last device on a DMX line to be terminated with a 120Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3 to prevent signal reection. If there is no connection to the DMX THRU terminals, the DMX Terminate switch should be ON.

If there are other devices connected to the DMX THRU terminal, the DMX Terminate switch should be OFF and termination be applied to the nal device in the daisy-chain.
