The 0-10V light modules have four Light outputs, which are designed for control (dimming) and power supply of lights with electronic ballasts, LED drivers, and other 0-10V compatible control gear.
The Light outputs support:
0-10V lighting control
Power distribution (230 VAC)
The 5-pole Light output connector has two terminals for 0-10V lighting control:
Analog Output (AO1 to AO4)
Common (COM)
The four analog outputs are independently controlled. The control signal is a DC voltage that varies between 0 V and 10 V.
The 0-10V light module supports both the current sourcing and current sinking standards.
The maximum number of control gear devices per module and per output is determined by the module's power distribution limitations. For more information, see section “Specifications”.
The power distribution capability means that the module distributes the AC mains voltage (230 VAC) from the Power Input to the control gear connected to the four Light outputs.
The 5-pole Light output connector has three terminals for power distribution:
N (Neutral)
PE (Protective earth ground)
L (Line)
The 0-10V light module uses a relay to control the power distribution to each Light output, by connecting or disconnecting the AC mains voltage to the output (L terminal). In the figure above, the relay is named K1 for the Light 1 output, K2 for the Light 2 output, and so on.
In the event of a power outage, the relays are set in a predefined state so that the AC mains voltage is connected to the four Light outputs. The relays will remain in that state at startup after a power outage.
The module's AC mains voltage side and low-voltage side (SELV side) are galvanically separated by means of isolation circuitry.
The module also has energy metering circuitry that supports the measurement of the energy consumption for the total load connected to the module. Para mais informações, consulte RP Controller Expansion Module Energy Metering .
