1. Applications1. Applications
LumiNode 4DIN is designed to be mounted directly onto a standard DIN (IEC/EN 60715) rail. Before tting the
device, please make a note of the IP address as this is located at the bottom of the device.
The device clips onto the rail.
Insert the LumiNode 4 DIN from the top to the bottom until you hear the bottom clip connection. It is
recommended to relief strain from the bottom clip by gently using a sharp tool as a leaver.
To remove the unit from the rail, use a sharp tool and insert it in the hole of the bottom clip. Slightly push
the clip to the bottom to release the LumiNode 4DIN from the rail.
Since the unit requires no user intervention once installed, they are suitable for remote installation with all
conguration and management taking place over an Ethernet network.
However, it is recommended that access can be gained in the unlikely event of a hardware failure.
The LumiNode 4DIN can be powered with a 12-24V DC power supply (M). The device will automatically
switch on. To shut it down after use, just un-plug the power cable again. The LumiNode 4DIN can also be
powered with Power over Ethernet (PoE) (N).

HOW TO COPY A PROCESS ENGINE
Once you have created your rst process engine, select it by clicking on the tick box in the top left corner. A
handle appears at the bottom centre of the process engine.
Click and drag the handle down, to select other process engines.
The LumiNode will automatically increase the universe number, and the DMX port, for each following
process engine. This allows you to create a complete conguration in a snap!
The DMX/RDM page is divided in two sub menus:
PORT SETTINGS
The port settings oer you to:
Add a legend to a port to easily identify what is connected to it. This will also update the tooltip on the
conguration page of the process engine.
Enable Sync mode: when enabled the DMX output framerate is matched to the input framerate. If the
source used for this port is capable to send an Art-Net or sACN sync packet this will be used.
Redundant Slave: when enabled the DMX port listens to incoming DMX from another port or another
node and will start outputting if no DMX input is detected. When DMX redundant slave is enabled RDM is
automatically disabled. See the chapter about DMX redundancy further on in the manual.
Enable RDM, enabling RDM allows RDM trac to be transported to or from an outlet over the network
and back.
xAdaptive discovery. When RDM is enabled, it is possible to enable adaptive d iscovery. This will
continuously check for new and disappeared RDM devices on the output.
xInterweaving. Interweaving is enabled by default. Interweaving is only available when the FPS is set
lower or equal to 34 FPS. Interweaving makes that RDM messages are interweaved with DMX. If your
xture does not support interweaving or the RDM packets you are sending are too large you would
disable RDM interweaving. For example, with a RDM based follow-spot system interweaving needs to
be disabled.
xArtRDM universe. The ArtRDM universe is the universe which is used for ArtTOD and ArtRDM packets.
By default, this will be matched to the Art-Net universe of the rst Art-Net input of your process
engine.
Scroll down and click Save to save your settings.
At the bottom of the DMX/RDM page, you can nd a button to force an RDM discovery in case this is
required.
12
DMX SETTINGS
On the DMX/RDM page, at the bottom of the page, you nd the DMX settings.
DMX Framerate in Frames Per Second.
Breaktime in microseconds.
DMX output time continuous by default is enabled and the LumiNode will keep outputting the last
received stream packages on the DMX. When you disable the continuous output time you can choose a
time the LumiNode will keep outputting the data with a minimum time of 1 second.
RDM Controller IP is the only device in the network that can make changes via RDM. When 0.0.0.0 every
device in the network can make changes but if you want to have a dedicated device to manage the RDM
you can dene the IP here.
Press Save to apply your settings.
DMX REDUNDANCY
The LumiNode range supports DMX redundancy from rmware 2.1.0 onwards. What does DMX redundancy
mean and how does it work?
DMX redundancy means that you can run a DMX cable from one LumiNode to your lights and then from the
output of the last light back to the same LumiNode or to a dierent LumiNode.
(If the redundant port is on the same LumiNode, only one process engine is required to congure both
ports).
The redundant port will not output DMX until it is no longer receiving DMX.
Once a link in the DMX chain gets broken or disconnected the slave port will start outputting DMX and the
lights will continue to operate as expected.
As soon as the broken link is restored the redundant port will go back to an idle state.
NOTE: For this system to work between dierent LumiNodes, it is important that the conguration of both
process engines and the settings for sync and DMX framerate are identical!
When the redundant port is in idle state, the port LED is solid magenta and the LCD display on the
LumiNode 4DIN will show the outline of the output symbol in magenta.
As soon as the port becomes active the port LED will turn to ashing magenta and the LCD display will
show a magenta lled output symbol.
Redundant port IDLE:
Redundant port ACTIVE:

The Lighting data input/output and the management of the LumiNode are all assigned to the same
network group and share a single IP address.
In the IP address section (C):
Enter the IP address you wish to use.
Enter the subnet.
Enter a gateway IP address if required.
Click Save (J) to apply the changes.
Enter the new IP address in your web browser to refresh the page.
SCENARIO 2(B): (ADVANCED)
Groups/VLANs including an ISL group (Trunk) can be assigned to ports and interfaces.
This can be useful when data from dierent applications, in coexistence with the lighting data, needs to be
transported over the same network.
The Lighting data input/output and the management of the LumiNode can be separated in dierent
network groups and can each have a unique IP address.

In the Input/Output interface:
Enter the IP address you wish to use (C).
Enter the subnet you wish to use.
Enter a gateway IP address if required.
Enable/Disable Allow cong (D). When disabled, users will not be able to reach the web-UI on this IP
address.
In the Group/Trunks window (E) select the group for the lighting data you wish to use.
With the group selected, click the group assignment on the input/output interface (F).
In the System interface:
At the bottom-right of the System interface, use the slider to enable the interface.
Enter the IP address you wish to use (G).
Enter the subnet you wish to use.
Enter a gateway IP address if required.
Enable/Disable Allow cong (H). When disabled, users will not be able to reach the web-UI on this IP
address.
In the Group/Trunks window (E) select the group for the system interface you wish to use.
With the group selected, click the group assignment on the system interface (I).
Network ports:
Depending on the conguration chosen for the interfaces we now need to assign the correct groups/trunks
to the Ethernet ports of the LumiNode.
Select the group or trunk you wish to assign in the Group/Trunks window (E).
With the group selected, click the Ethernet port you wish to assign this group to.
Repeat these steps for the second Ethernet port if required.
In the image above, the example shows that we have assigned an ISL to ETH2, we used the management
group for the system interface, and we used group 4 for the input/output interface. Finally, we assigned
group 2 to ETH1 to give the user access to this group on the front of the LumiNode.
When all the settings are done, click Save (J) to apply the conguration.
Enter the new IP address in your web browser to refresh the page.

GROUP/VLAN ADVANCED SETTINGS
To change the settings for a group, click on the Edit group option in the Group/Trunks section.
With a group selected you can:
Change the VLAN ID.
Change the name for ease of identication.
ADD OR EDIT A TRUNK
To Add or Edit a Trunk, click the Edit Trunk option in the top right of the Group/Trunks section.
To Add a custom Trunk:
Click the + to add a trunk.
Give the new trunk a name in the name eld.
Assign a colour to the trunk by clicking on the coloured square.
After selecting the colour, click anywhere outside the colour picker
window to close it.
Click on all the groups/VLANs you wish to include in this trunk.
If needed, use the dropdown menu for Untagged to select which
group should be untagged on the trunk. An untagged port connects
to hosts. The host is unaware of any VLAN conguration.
Your custom trunk is now available in the Assign group tab to be
assigned to ETH1 or ETH2.

The toolbox page is divided in three sub menus:
PROFILE MANAGER
Here, you can recall, save, import, export or delete a prole. Select the prole with the drop-down menu
located on the left hand-side. The LumiNode comes with default proles that can be used or modied, for
a fast setup time. Up to 40 proles can be stored in a unit.
Once a prole is selected, a preview of the conguration is shown below the dropdown in graphic form and
the conguration of each process engine.
When a prole has been selected the user can scroll down to the bottom of the prole preview to see the IP
settings in this prole. By default, the LumiNode will NOT load the IP settings that are stored in the prole.
If you want to load the IP settings saved in the prole, slide the Preserve IP settings to OFF.
FIRMWARE
In the rmware section, you can see two versions of rmware:
Active rmware is the one currently running on the unit.
Alternate rmware is the previously installed rmware.
If you would like to downgrade the unit to the previously installed rmware, click on the Activate button.
The unit will reboot in this rmware.
There is only ONE rmware version for the entire range. This can be installed on all dierent models in the
range.
You can upgrade the LumiNode with our latest rmware. To upgrade the unit, please apply the following
