THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING DIGIDOT! DiGidot offers powerful products and solutions to control LED pixels. The DiGidot Controller is the heart of our control system and offers great flexibility. In order to benefit from all our system advantages and to keep your infrastructure easy, we offer some innovative accessories like our PxLNet range extending equipment.
LED strip or pixel-controlled product, it can be used as a transmitter when the Tx/Rx switch is flipped. A PxLNet Transceiver in Transmit mode can also be connected to a DiGidot Controller output port to convert the SPI signal to PxLNet. The PxLNet Transceiver can also be used to convert a DMX signal from a DiGidot Controller or a PxLNet Transmitter to DMX TTL.

This product is ESD sensitive. It is required to work in an ESD save environment and undertake all necessary ESD protective precautions before installing and soldering this product, to minimise the risk of ESD inflicted product damage. PxLNet Transceiver 2 ST Manual Version 3.0.0 9-18...
IMPORTANT Make sure to equalize the ground potentials. Always connect grounds (DC-) of DiGidot controller and every power supply, connected to every product that is controlled by a single DiGidot controller to each other. The ground connection between a DiGidot PxLNet Transmitter and a PxLNet Transceiver or multiple Transceivers are automatically established when using the RJ45 bus with network cable in between.
A cable can also be soldered to solder pads [11][12][13] on the underside (as indicated on page 5). The distance between two PxLNet Transmitters is max. 300 meters (984 ft). PxLNet Transceiver 2 ST Manual Version 3.0.0 11-18...
Wiring scheme 1 Convert PxLNet to SPI Data DiGidot Controller with PxLNet Transmitter connected by Cat-5E network cables to PxLNet Transceivers which are connected by wires, to a pixel controlled LED strip. max. 3 m. (9.8 ft) max.
Wiring scheme 4 Single port SPI range extension DiGidot Controller Data port connected directly to a PxLNet Transceiver in transmit mode, to send the PxLNet signal up to 300 meters away to the next PxLNet Transceiver. Please note that the operating mode switch is in Tx mode (white squares makes 1 line).
Wiring scheme 6 Combine short & long range Data + Clock SPI DiGidot Controller with PxLNet Transmitter connected by Cat-5E network cables to PxLNet Transceivers which are soldered directly to a pixel controlled LED strip which is powered from an alternative section.
DiGidot Controller with PxLNet Transmitter, connected by Cat-5E network cables to PxLNet Transceivers Please note that DMX TTL must be configured on the DiGidot Controller In/out configuration page. Configure all ports to DMX TTL in the DiGidot Controller In/out configuration.
DMX cable). These wires can be used for low voltage purpose up to 48 Vdc and a maximum current of 200 mA. Use solder pads [14][15][16][17] to make use of these wires. PxLNet Transceiver 2 ST Manual Version 3.0.0...
‣ Refer to further trouble shooting tips in the DiGidot Controller user manual. 11. Is your ground (DC-) from the DiGidot Controller output terminal connected to all the grounds of the LED products power supplies? The grounds run through the network cables.
