Introduction

The eDIDIO S10 gateway is a modular, network-enabled, DIN rail mounted, DALI and DMX lighting controller. It supports up to two lines of control via DALI, DMX, or both. This model is specially configured to work with Control4.

Features

  • Modular control: Modular hardware allows for any combination of up to two (total) DALI and or DMX512-A outputs while still maintaining proper DMX512-A signal conditioning and DALI separation.
  • Custom Control4 protocol: The eDIDIO supports custom Control4 protocol that includes support for SDDP, TLS 1.2, and additional features.
  • Easy installation: DIN Mounted with plug-and-play connectors: a black 2-way for DC in, a 12-way for I/Os, 2 x 3-ways for data lines, and a 4-way for logic ground and IR. If the controller is moved or removed, the connectors can remain conveniently behind, leaving the existing wiring connected to the connectors.
  • Multi-line control: Any interface or trigger in the system can call a command over multiple connected lines.
  • Easy-to-use configuration: An easy-to-use interface through Composer provides quick configuration and commissioning.
  • Easy wiring and system verification: The gateway contains a function which turns on all channels, making it easy to verify wiring and perform troubleshooting. See Troubleshooting, below, for details

Installing the gateway

Fasten the gateway onto a DIN rail.

Wiring the gateway

Refer to the wiring diagrams below to wire the gateway. The first digram shows a DMX-only configuration. The second diagram shows DMX, DALI, and contact input configuration.

Connecting Power
The gateway requires a 24V DC (>100mA) source (HDR60-24 recommended). Connect power to the gateway input screw down terminals marked DC IN + and DC IN -. The cable must be less than 98 feet (30 meters) from the DC power supply to the gateway.
For DALI to work, an external DALI PSU must be present on each line (CRE- UBI-V2-PWR recommended).

DALI line connection
The DALI line wires are connected in the screw terminals at the top of the enclosure as shown below. You must not have two DALI line power supplies on the same DALI line. DALI Standard mandates no more than 2V DC voltage drop.

DMX512-A line connection
The DMX512-A line wires are connected in the screw terminals at the top of the enclosure as shown above.
WARNING! Do not confuse the DALI and DMX512-A lines. Connecting a DALI bus PSU to a DMX512-A line will cause irreversible damage.

Contact input connection
The inputs of the gateway allow for short, long, and latching presses by connecting the input pin source to a ground pin source. This means that any potential-free contact, such as a switch mech or relay device, that can connect two wires together may be used as an input device for the gateway.
The inputs 1 to 8 will show about 3V DC (in reference to the GND pin) when floating, allowing for easy testing via multimeter. I/Os 9 to 12 will initially show a higher dc voltage and decay down to 3V DC over time. A display option is also available using the keypad/menu to show the state of each input.

Configuration with Composer Pro

We recommend that you take the Control4 Vibrant Linear Lighting Micro- Certification at http://ctrl4.co/certification-vibrant. It provides detailed explanations and video procedures for setting up DMX-controlled lighting.

Perform the following procedure to configure your DMX gateway and decoder in Composer Pro

  1. Open Composer Pro and connect to the project.

  2. Add gateway drivers.

    • In the Items pane > Discovered tab > Manufacturer, find “CONTROLFREAK” and double-click to add driver. Repeat this for each gateway in the project.
    • The gateway will reboot and may install updates. While updating, the driver will not respond. Do not remove power during this process.
    • You may track progress on the gateway’s Properties tab.
      Give each gateway in the project a descriptive name.
  3. Add DMX drivers.

  4. For each zone of LED tape light, add one instance of the DMX light driver.

  5. In the Items pane > Search tab, type “DMX Light”, press Enter. Find and double-click “DMX Light Driver” to add.

  6. Name the zone after the area it’s illuminating (unless the customer has a preference).

  7. Connect DMX Light drivers to the Lights

    • Click Connections > Control/AV tab. Select a gateway.
    • DMX devices have automatically connected to the first gateway added to the project.
    •  If there is more than one gateway in the project, reconnect the DMX devices to the correct gateways.
    • Select a gateway. From the Control Outputs pane, drag the output to the DMX device it will control. Do this for all gateways in the project

Display

The gateway has a 128 x 96-pixel display that shows the time, status, and other useful information.

Home Screen
The home screen displays the time and date, as well as battery, temperature, and connection status icons. The battery icon appears when the PCB battery is below its recommended voltage, the temperature icon displays when over 50 degrees, and the connection status icon displays when a valid Ethernet connection is accepted.
An information line is available at the bottom of the display which provides status updates on schedules, burn-in, or current profile. The default is schedule status and is settable using the keypad menu.
Pressing any button opens the menu. With no user interaction after 10 seconds, the display automatically returns to the home screen.

Main Menu and 1, 2, 3 Buttons
The main menu shows options for Installation, Testing, and Settings. Button 1 moves the cursor up, button 3 moves the cursor down, and button 2 confirms selection.

Installation

The installation allows for random addressing of DALI fittings.

Testing
The testing screen allows for DALI and DMX512-A Min/Max commands, displaying of inputs, and counting devices. The Min/Max testing command is one of the best troubleshooting processes that you can use to test the DMX and DALI buses before commissioning and programming the system.

Settings
The settings screen lets you choose between various options, such as status information display and muting/unmuting sensors.

Troubleshooting

  •  Device not found by discovery: Check the connections and make sure the network symbol is present on the gateway OLED.

  • Using the keypad menu, check in Settings > Device Status
    to see if an IP has been set. If it is 0.0.0.0, check the router’s network settings to make sure it supports DHCP.

  • Device fails to select appropriate version: Reset power to the controller and make sure network is not affected by other devices.

  • Startup system check: On startup, various systems are checked. They will display on the screen for 5 seconds after the standard boot sequence.

  • To easily verify your wiring and system setup, press any button on the gateway. From the main menu, go down to Testing > Min/Max DMX or DALI (depending on the device). Press 2 to confirm. The lights will cycle full on and off. If your lights do not turn on, you may have a wiring problem.
