DMX Interface - PWINF DIN PWM4A / PWM6A
6-Channel PWM DC Dimmer Manual
08/31/21
The Pathway eDIN LED Dimmer/DC Driver provides DMX512
control over LEDs and other DC devices. Each module
provides 6 channels of control. When controlling LEDs, the
module acts as a dimming interface only. The LED xture
will require a separate regulated DC power supply, as
recommended by its manufacturer.
These instructions apply to REV 2 hardware running
rmware 1.6.2 or higher.
The PWINF DIN PWM features terminal strips that can be removed
from the card to facilitate easy wiring installation or replacement. Make
the following connections, WITH THE POWER TURNED OFF, and
observe ESD precautions by ensuring the installer is properly grounded
before handling the device.
POWER
The DMX/RDM Splitter is designed to run on a range of voltages from
9-30 volts DC. Each PWM DC Dimmer requires 5 watts. Observe the
correct polarity when connecting to V+ and V-.
A second set of terminals are provided as a DC power-through
connection to other DIN devices. The EARTH GND terminal may be
connected to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical ground terminal to
improve EMC compliance.
DMX512
DMX connections consist of a shield wire and one or two data pairs.
DMX IN is wired from the control console, or other source. DMX THRU
may be daisy-chained to the DMX IN of other eDIN cards, or to other
DMX equipment.
Connect DATA+ and DATA– wires to D1+ and D1- respectively. The
optional data pair may be connected to D2+ and D2-. Observe the same
polarity convention throughout the system. Connect the shield wire to
the SHLD/COM terminal.
DC/PWM OUTPUTS
The LED Dimmer/DC Driver interface provides six (6) outputs that will
each handle up to 4 amps at voltages up to 30VDC. The outputs are
of the current-sinking type. A separate DC power supply is required,
OVERVIEW
CONNECTIONS STATUS INDICATORS
appropriately sized for the connected load, as recommended by the
connected equipment’s manufacturer.
Each output is fully opto-isolated from the other outputs, from the
DMX signal and from the eDIN board power supply. Multiple pins
are provided to allow for load spreading. Outputs are connected
as follows:
LOAD- (Terminals 1 & 2): Connects to the negative terminal of
the load, or the LED Cathode.
V- (Terminals 3 & 4): Connects to
the negative or common terminal
of the load power supply.
V+ (Terminals 5 & 6): Connects
to the positive terminal of the load
power supply and to the positive
terminal of the load, or the LED
Anode.

DMX Interface - PWINF DIN PWM4A / PWM6A
6-Channel PWM DC Dimmer Manual
08/31/21
DMX rules require the nal device in-line have a terminating resistor. If
there are other devices connected to the DMX THRU terminals, the DMX
TERMINATE switch should be OFF. Otherwise the terminator should
be ON.
The PWINF DIN PWM DC Dimmer is fully compliant with ANSI E1.20
Remote Device Management as a responder device. An RDM controller
can discover and retrieve the card’s DMX start address, rmware version
and operating mode (personality). DMX start address and operating
mode are remotely congurable by the controller. Starting with rmware
1.5.5, an RDM utility can upgrade the rmware in the eld.
The #1008 eDIN LED Dimmer does not regulate the current supplied
to the LED. Always use a current-regulated power supply, approved by
the LED manufacturer, to supply the LED xture.
The DIN Interface has 2 operating modes: Function and Edit. Press the
▲ or ▼ buttons to select a function, as indicated by the LEDs next to
ADDRESS, MODE, UTIL, and TEST. Once selected, press and hold
the ENTER button until a dot appears in the lower right-hand corner of
the display. The card is now in EDIT mode. Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to
change, then press ENTER to accept the new value.
Once in ADDRESS edit mode, press ▲ or ▼ to change the start address
to the desired value between 1 and 512. Press ENTER to save the new
start address.
There are four UTIL modes.
A: Adjusts the smoothing algorithm between 1 (very smooth) to 100 (no
smoothing). Factory default is 64.
B: Sets a MIN output level between 0 (default) and 255, that the card
will output in the absence of DMX.
C: Adjusts a Grand Master maximum output level between 0 (o󰀨) and
FL (100% - default).
D: Sets DMX signal loss behavior. Options are “0” - zero seconds, “0.5”
- thirty seconds, “1” - one minute, “5” - ve minutes and “--” forever
(default).
Mode 1: Default LED Control Mode (6 channels)
The incoming DMX channel level is interpolated to produce a 16-bit
value. A weighted fade curve is also applied to compensate for LED
response, producing an apparently linear fade to the human eye.
Mode 2: DMX Double Precision Mode with Curve (12 channels)
Two DMX control channels are used to produce a 16-bit value for each
output. A weighted curve is also applied.
Mode 3: DMX Double Precision Mode without Curve (12 channels)
Two DMX control channels are used to produce a 16-bit value for each
output with no compensating curve. Output follows the DMX values
linearly.
Mode 4: Non-Dim Mode
When the DMX channel is below 50%, the corresponding output will
be o󰀨. When the channel level is above 50%, the corresponding output
will be on (full). Use for nondimming loads such as solid state relays or
solenoid coils.
Mode 5: Single channel control
One DMX channel, the start address, controls all six outputs from the
module.
Mode 6: 3 Channel Mirror Mode with Curve (3 channels)
Outputs are paired (1/4, 2/5, 3/6). Paired outputs are driven by the same
DMX channel, with the weighted curve applied to the output.

Use ▲ or ▼ to cycle the display from 1 through 6. The corresponding
output will be at full. Normal DMX input will be ignored. Press ENTER
to exit test mode.
TEST MODE
Wire RCOM to RNC or RNO for a normally closed or normally open
DMX indicator, as desired.
When DMX is present, the closure will be held in a state opposite to its
‘normal’ position.
When CCL is shorted to IN-GND, for example by closing an e-stop
switch, all outputs are forced to the MAX output level, regardless of DMX
level or signal presence.
Applying a 0-10VDC input between any AIN(x) and the IN-GND pin will
drive that particular output. Output level is an HTP-merge between the
DC voltage level and the incoming DMX signal for that channel.
Do not exceed 10VDC maximum input voltage.

Mode 7: 3 Channel Mirror Mode without Curve (3 channels)
Outputs are paired (1/4, 2/5, 3/6). Paired outputs are driven by the
same DMX channel, with no compensating curve. Output follows the
DMX values linearly.
