  • Page 7: Outputs

    If local inputs are to be used, 10V DC - 36V DC through terminals 39 - 40 is also required. Please make sure that the polarity is correct! The galvanic isolation of the inputs is only effective when a separate power supply is used for powering the inputs.
  • Page 8: Local Inputs

    Do not attach any other type of load to the outputs if dimming of the outputs is enabled! Using an improper load can damage both the attached device and the FNIP-6x2AD, creating a potential fire hazard! Only use lights with built-in ballasts/drivers that meet CE emission standards.
  • Page 9: Status Led Indicators

    Status LED indicators In order to make installation and debugging easier, communication and channel states are displayed via LEDs. Use the board layout drawing in Figure 4. to locate the status LEDs. Inputs 10V – 36V Power Input Power Ethernet 38 39 LEDs Run LED...

    Communication LEDs Con LED The Con LED is on when the module is connected to the Ethernet network. Act LED Indicates communication via Ethernet Status LEDs St LED It is illuminated while the boot loader is active and it is blinking during a firmware upload procedure.
  • Page 11: Configuration

    CONFIGURATION Configuration can be done either via the built-in website or via TCP/IP connection. Configuration via the web interface The FNIP-6x2AD automatically receives an IP address from a DHCP server. In the lack of a DHCP server or when DHCP option is disabled on the network configuration page of the module, the default IP address of 192.168.1.25 will be assigned.

  • Page 14: Users And User Rights

    Users and user rights Three different users can be defined each with three different user rights: admin, actor and observer. Admins have access to all functions, including control of the outputs, monitoring the status of the inputs and outputs and changing all the settings. Actors are allowed to control the outputs and monitor the status of the inputs and the outputs, but are not allowed to change any settings.
  • Page 15: Channel Settings

    Channel settings On the Channel page the outputs and inputs can be renamed. Input modes can also be chosen here. The input mode determines the logical connection between the input and the output of the same channel. For details on possible input modes Operation via local inputs and how they work, see section of this document.
  • Page 16: Dim Settings

    Dim settings Preset level: If other than zero, the output will go to the specified level when turned on. Zero means the output will go to the last used dim level. Minimum level: Some load types cannot be dimmed down all the way to zero. They cut off at some point and show some strange behavior (flickering or pulsing) below that dim level.
  • Page 17: Combining Channels

    Combining channels If dimming or switching a higher load than what a single channel can handle is required, it is possible to combine two outputs. Ch1 can be combined with Ch2, Ch3 with Ch4 and Ch5 with Ch6. Outputs of a combined channels will always produce the same dim level.
  • Page 18: Scenes

    Scenes Scenes are predefined states of the outputs on the module. FNIP scenes can be used in standalone applications without any third-party controller. FNIP modules (module groups) support 9 scenes. If a module receives a Scene Activation Command (SAC), the designated outputs will go to the defined state.
  • Page 19: Firmware Upgrade

    On the Firmware page click browse and find the new firmware on your PC. The latest firmware versions are always downloadable from the website of P5. Then click Upload. The St LED turns on and stays on or blinks during firmware update.
  • Page 20: Operation

    OPERATION Operation via local inputs The inputs can be activated by shorting or opening (depending on the settings of the Channel Settings) an input terminal and the input common terminal. Throughout this section it is assumed that momentary switches are connected to the local inputs.
  • Page 21 4. Toggle with no dimming mode Each press of the button toggles the corresponding output. Holding the button has no function. Dimming is inhibited. 5. Monostable mode The outputs can be programmed to turn on only for an adjustable amount of time when the respective input is triggered then turn off.
  • Page 22: Operation Via The Built-In Web Server

    Operation via the built-in web server The outputs can be controlled on the Control page. Clicking the Channel icon will toggle, moving the slider will dim the outputs. A grey status icon means that the output is off. An active output is indicated by a red icon. The current power usage is displayed for each channel.
  • Page 23 Input status page The status of the inputs is displayed on the Input status page. A grey icon means that the corresponding input is inactive (input circuit open). An active input (input circuit closed) is indicated by a green icon. The Input Status page is shown in Figure 12.
