General device description
2 General device description
Lighting applications are heterogenous by nature. e:cue interfaces serve to
integrate many networks, protocols and third party products into e:cue
solutions. They also aid in applying special control functions for xtures,
they integrate analog or mechanical signaling into the digital world and offer
bridging functions. e:cue interfaces are the links to bring together the many
techniques and technologies of lighting control.
e:cue Nodes are a system of interfaces and provide various connection
types like DMX/RDM, DALI, digital inputs and outputs etc
The e:cue Bridge8 is an Art-Net / sACN to DMX interface. It comes with 8 x
DMX universes over screw terminal plugs. Switch between two input
sources on the y. The e:cue Bridge8 makes it possible to run up to 4096
DMX channels (= 1360 RGB pixels, 170 Pxl/Univ.) over Ethernet. The
e:cue Bridge8 supports up to 32 sACN / Art-Net universes.
With an extended operating temperature of -40 ... 70°C (max 1 hour/day;
continuous operation at max. 60 °C) the e:cue Bridge8 is suited for projects
in tough outdoor environments. In addition to embedded temperature and
humidity sensors, a backup on data loss and test modes add to the
features of the Node.
The Node is powered by an external power supply or via Power-over-
Ethernet. It is easily mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails, or with a key
hole in the housing base on walls or on any stable vertical surface.
i
e:cue Noes are not hot-pluggable.

General device description
2.3 User interface: LEDs
The e:cue Bridge8 has 11 LEDs on the front panel. The 11 LEDs show the
basic states of the e:cue Bridge8.
LEDs
Status On: If constantly on, the device is online. Server
application is in operation.
Blinking: If blinking in one second intervals, the
device is ofine. If blinking more rapidly, the device is
in bootloader mode.
Ethernet Off: no link available.
On: link established.
Blinking: Ethernet trafc.
Test / Error Off: no error detected.
Short-short-long sequence: Test mode active.
On: If constantly lights in red, an error occurred. This
can be an internal error or malfunction of the device,
or an external error, e.g. a shortcut of interface
connections or alien power supply. Switch the device
off and on. If the error persists, check the wiring or
contact OSRAM Service.
DMX 1 ... 8 Orange: DMX data.
Orange + White: port error.

General device description
2.4 Identify button: Identification & Reset
The Identify button has two functions: to reset the Node (A), and to exit the
error state (B).
(A) The Identify button can be used to reset the device to factory state or to
stay in bootloader mode. With a reset you restore the password and device
settings by using the Identify button. Please note that the device name is
not reset:
• Keep the Identify button pressed while powering up, Status and
Test / Error LEDs light up at rst. Bootloader mode is signaled by a fast
blinking Status LED. Release the button now. The device stays in
bootloader mode to download a new rmware.
To exit the bootloader mode, short press the Identify button again.
• Press the Identify button during operation until Status and
Test / Error LEDs blink alternating, then blink together. Releasing the
button now resets the device to its factory settings. The password and
network settings are reset to their default values. Please note that the
device name cannot be reset.
• Keeping the button pressed further on, the device proceeds to
normal operation. No changes apply.
(B) Short press the Identify button if an error occurs and you want to exit
the error mode. The device will switch back to normal activity if the cause of
error is eliminated. The Node might reboot.

4 Installation
The installation of the e:cue Bridge8 consists of mounting the device,
connections to power supply, to Ethernet, and to the DMX devices.
The sequence of cabling is not dened. Supply the device with power after
all cabling is completed; it starts booting.
Batteries and technical appliances must not be disposed of
with domestic waste, but should be handed in at the
appropriate collection and disposal points.
!
Connect cables and data only when the device is powered
down.

16
Installation
4.1 Installation conditions
Installation position Terminals on top and bottom
Horizontal spacing On both sides 18 mm
Minimum vertical rail grid spacing 115 mm (90 + 25 mm)
(excluding conduit)
Recommended vertical rail grid spacing 160 mm (with 40 mm conduit)
4.2 Mounting process
The e:cue Bridge8 is designed to mount onto a 35mm DIN rail (EN 60715)
in a horizontal position.
1. Clip the device to the rail from
top.
2. Apply gentle pressure to the
top front to snap it in place. The
device has been mounted
successfully.
You can also mount the device on any at surface. Use a 3 to 3.5mm screw
for the hanger hole.
For mechanical stability, mounting on a rail is recommended.
4.3 Ethernet connection
The pin-assignment of the Ethernet port corresponds to RJ45 standards.
You can use every common Ethernet component, like cable, splitters, and
switches. Connect the e:cue Bridge8 at the designated Ethernet interface
with a patch cable (RJ45, CAT5).

!
Ground the Ethernet cable for outdoor installations (optional
for indoor only).

17
Installation
4.4 DMX connection
The e:cue Bridge8 can control eight DMX universes with its eight DMX
ports. Connect DMX devices to the Node using 3-pin terminal plugs at the
DMX interface of the Node.
The appropriate pin assignment is dened as follows:
From left to right: GND, DMX-, DMX+
It is recommended to use twisted pair cabling.
Use shielded cables for outdoor installations.
4.5 Power supply
The e:cue Bridge8 can be powered by an external power supply or via
Power-over-Ethernet.
PoE:
For PoE, simply connect an Ethernet connection from a power sourcing
device.
External power supply:
Connect the e:cue Bridge8 to a certied NEC Class 2 24 V DC power
supply unit. Present power supply equates to the status “On” or running of
the Node.
i
Never connect more than one e:cue Bridge8 in factory state
to a network. The identical IP addresses will conict and
disturb proper communication.
!
Ground the DMX connection cable for outdoor installations
(optional for indoor only). Ground each cable seperately.

18
Installation
To connect the device to a power supply unit, use the provided 2-pole
terminal and lay the wires as stated on the front label. The voltage
assignment is left V+ and right V-.
Turn the power on when all cables are connected to the e:cue Bridge8. The
device starts booting. During the booting process all DMX LEDs turn on
consecutively. The device has nished booting and is in operation when the
LED Status is ashing.
4.6 Protective Earth
Grounding of the e:cue Bridge8
Use Protective Earth where
applicable.
Ground the DMX connection
cable and the Ethernet cable.
Ground each cable separately.
i
The e:cue Bridge8 is not suited for powering over a DC
power supply network. Use a separate certied SELV Class
2 power supply unit in the control cabinet for supplying 24 V
DC to the e:cue Bridge8.
!
Connect the e:cue Bridge8’s Portective Earth to earth when
at least one connected cable runs outdoors.

Network conguration
5 Network conguration
The network properties of the device are precongured. The successful
installation of the power supply is required for changing the network
conguration. You can either adjust the network settings using the web
interface of the device.
5.1 Default network properties
The e:cue Bridge8 has as factory setting the default IP address
192.168.123.1.
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
DHCP is disabled by default.
Login credentials for the web interface of the e:cue Bridge8:
The default password is: ecue
To change the network conguration use the web interface of the device.
5.2 Network configuration with the web interface
1. Open a common web browser on a connected PC. Enter the
e:cue Bridge8’s IP address into the address bar:
e.g. http://192.168.123.1.
The web interface of the device is displayed:
