Network Connections Network Cable Topology The iLight Network is of CAN bus (Controller Area Network) standard. A maximum of 100 devices can be added to the network on a single run. NOTE: Device quantity can be increased with a BN-2-D Network Bridge/Repeater unit.

Connection to the network Connections for the iLight network are located on the CPU card at the bottom of the unit with the cover removed. Maximum segment distance: 500m (1640 ft). Devices per segment: 100 (without bridge or repeater) Consult iLight for information on alternative cable types.
It is still possible to enter Diagnostic mode if a Source Controller is in iCANnet error status. iLight SCA0410 & SCA1210 Installation Guide Document 9850-000927-00...
When the Source Controller is placed into override mode it will no longer respond to commands sent over the iLight network. Override mode can also be used to restore power to outputs if control is lost or temporarily removed to allow lighting to remain on until control is restored.
Source Controllers have an RS485 port located on the CPU PCB which allows for direct serial integration with the iLight network. If multiple Source Controllers are linked on the iLight network then only a single RS485 connection is required in order to potentially control all devices.

RS485 Message Glossary Virtual control messages are used to control the system, and not individual devices. The message is transmitted across the iLight CAN network to all other devices. @SSxx:Axx:Fxx<cr> This message selects a scene in an area. SSxx defines the scene number, where xx is valid from 00 to 99. Scene 00 is OFF.
Source Controllers have an RS485 port located on the CPU PCB which allows for direct serial integration with the iLight network. This port can be converted into an input connection for DMX control of the Source Controller by a lighting desk, for example. To enable DMX control a DI-1 DMX Input PCB must be fitted to the Source Controller.
When a contact closure occurs across the normally-open Alarm and 0V terminal on the Source Controller, an alarm scene is triggered which is broadcast across the iLight Network to all other devices. The default scene setting is all channels to 100%. Control Panels are also configured by default to be locked when the alarm link is in place to disable manual override of the lighting during an alarm.
LED on the CPU board to ping the Source Controller. This should make it appear in the search window and display a message in the iLight network monitor window. If your issue is not covered by any of the above...
