General device description
2 General device description
e:cue SYMPL Nodes are a system of interfaces for e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT
only. They provide various connection types like DMX512, DALI, digital
inputs and outputs etc. SYMPL Nodes always operate in online mode, as a
device interface for SYMPHOLIGHT. All interactions are initiated and
controlled by SYMPHOLIGHT. Connections between servers, Cores and
Nodes are always made with e:net via Ethernet.
The e:cue SYMPL input Node is an eight-channel analog input interface for
use with e:cue’s lighting control solution SYMPHOLIGHT. It provides eight
independent analog 10 V inputs, four inputs also support 20 mA constant
current input, congurable with four slide switches. The e:cue
SYMPL input Node can be powered by an external power supply or via
Power-over-Ethernet. It is easily mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails, or

You can use every common Ethernet component, like cable, splitters, and
switches. Connect the SYMPL input Node at the designated Ethernet
interface with a patch cable (RJ45, CAT5).
i
Never connect more than one SYMPL Node in factory state
to a network. The identical IP addresses will conict and
disturb proper communication.
i
The Ethernet port of the SYMPL Node is not designed for
inter-building connections with power and lighting transients.
Use only intra-building networks to connect the SYMPL
Nodes and Cores.
