Pathport DIN-Mount DMX/RDM Ethernet Gateway
PWPP DIN P4
The Pathport® DIN-mount 4-Port Gateway (PWPP DIN P4)
provides the full functionality of other Pathport gateways
in a compact, DIN-rail mountable form factor.
System integrators can now easily put fully customized
universes of DMX where they are needed. Ideal for use in
NEMA enclosures. Fully compatible with DIN interfaces
(PWINF).
The Pathport PWPP DIN P4 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 PWPP DIN P4 is designed to run on either Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE), or on an auxiliary power supply providing between 24 and 48
volts DC. The gateway is Class 2 PoE and will draw up to 8 Watts.
If an auxiliary supply is used, observe the correct polarity when
wiring the power IN terminal plug. The earth ground terminal
must be connected to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical ground
terminal to ensure EMC compliance.
DMX512
DMX connections consist of a shield and data pair. Connect DATA+
and DATA- to D1+ and D1-. Observe the same polarity convention
throughout the system. Connect the cable shield or common to the
SHLD COM terminal.
NETWORK
All network wiring should follow standard Ethernet rules and be
installed by a qualified person. As part of the installation, all wiring
should be certified under the TIA/EIA-568 standard.
CONTACT CLOSURE INTERFACE (CCI)
There is a 3-pole terminal connector included for dry contact
closure input. The CCI supports two functions:
DMX Hold
and
RDM
Pause
. See the Pathscape Manual for details on how to enable
these functions
