System Connections (Required for Setup)
In order to boot and configure the system, the following connections must be made: CAN bus (to the control
surface), ETHERNET (to the control PC) and power to all devices. The CAN and ETHERNET connections can
be hot-plugged, and so the cabling can be performed in any order.
The system ships with the required CAN bus and ETHERNET cables, 12V DC power supply (for the surface)
and IEC cables to connect the AC mains.
1.
Start by connecting the Power Core CAN port to the control surface CAN IN.
The connection must be point-to-point; a switch or hub is not allowed. If more than one frame is supplied, then
the CAN bus must be daisy-chained. On the last surface in the chain, fit the CAN bus terminator (supplied with
the system) to the CAN OUT.
2.
Next, connect the PC's LAN port directly to the Power Core CONTROL A port.
To set up the system, you should make a direct connection (as shown above). This can be modified later to
connect via a network.
Take care to use the CONTROL A port and not either of the RAVENNA/AES67 ports.
3.
Connect the 12V DC power supply to the DC IN connector on the control surface. Then, using the IEC
cable provided, connect your AC mains to the DC power supply.
4.
Using the IEC cable provided, connect the mains supply to the 100-240V AC input on Power Core.
The AC mains connections MUST be made using the power cables supplied with the system.
