DMX Interface - PWINF DIN NFP
OVERVIEW
The Network Fade Processor (PWINF DIN NFP) is a DIN-rail
mounted interface that serves as an DMX/Network DMX fade
processor.
The Network Fade Processor receives ASCII text based com-
mands and process those commands to fade DMX channels
over specified times. The NFP accepts plainly readable com-
mands made up of 8-Bit ASCII characters over a standard
UDP transport.
The NFP calculates and processes fades independently, re-
ducing computation load on controllers, or enabling fade
initiation by PLC's or other non-real-time control devices.
Regardless of the number of fades running on the unit, DMX
and Network DMX refresh rates are maintained.
CONNECTIONS
The PWINF DIN NFP 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 PWINF DIN NFP is designed to run on either Power-over-Ether-
net (PoE), or on an auxiliary power supply providing between 18 and
48 volts DC. The device is Class 1 PoE and will draw up to 4 Watts.
If an auxiliary supply is used, observe the correct polarity when con-
necting V+ and V-. A second set of terminals are provided so power
may be daisy-chained to other cards. The earth ground terminal
must be connected to the enclosure's chassis or electrical ground
terminal to improve 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 in-
stalled by a qualified person. As part of the installation, all wiring
should be certified under the TIA/EIA-568 standard.
