ILC-xx0 Backgrounder

Overview

  1. Key Features

    The CS-Bus can be run up to 4000 feet using CAT5 or better wire properly wired with twisted pairs on pins (1/2), (3/4), and (5/6). The CS-Bus is a derivative of a RS-485 network.

  2. Types of Lighting Devices Supported

    Straight wiring. Typically this wire color coding should be sued. Pin 1 Blue, Pin 2 Blue/White, Pin 3 Orange, Pin 4 Orange/White, Pin 5 Green, Pin 6 Green/White. The CS-Bus can be run up to 4000 feet using CAT5 or better wire properly wired with twisted pairs on pins (1/2), (3/4), and (5/6). Do not use 568A or 568B wiring as this does not permit a twisted pair on pins 3/4 (of the 6 wires being used on the RJ-45 6P6c connector).

  3. Commissioning. 

    The system must be setup and commissioned (addresses given) to each ILC-xx0 in order for any light output to occur.

What is the required BOM to enable system operation?

  1. Minimum Requirements for Hardware to complete installation.
  2. Front-end Gateway (for connection to a Local Area Network).
    • e-Node 2000 for connectivity to all lighting/automation platforms except for Lutron LEAP protocol devices
    • e-Node 4000 for connectivity to all of the above plus all Lutron LEAP protocol devices (RadioRA3,Homeworks QSX,and Athena)
  3. Constant Voltage Linear Strips.
  4. Power Supply Unit (PSU) (rated Class 2) typically running at 24vDC/ ~96 watts.
  5. Line cord to connect PSU to standard electrical outlet (or direct wired to AC circuit by Class 1 electrician).
  6. CAT5 or better communication wire to connect e-Node/xx to first ILC-xx0 device and downstream from first ILC-xx0 (if there are additional ILC-XX0 units).
  7. RJ-25 (6P6C modular connectors) necessary to crimp on ends of CAT5 cabling (for interconnection between e-Node and ILCs).
  8. Electrical box with the ability to house DIN-rail components (and at least 4.17" deep to accommodate DIN-Rail PSU and ILC-xx0 devices).

What tools are suggested for an efficient installation

Suggested Tools/Equipment.

  1. RJ-25/RJ-45 crimper devices.
  2. PC Computer (preferred for accessing the WEB-based setup software).
  3. Internet connectivity (for e-Node).
