  1. FAQ Lighting

Backgrounder on e-Nodes--types available, mounting issues, max. quantities, mixing e-Nodes.

 

Important Topics that should be considered are summarized below:

  1. Gateway Types Available

    See Table below for general specifications of all CSI Gateways.

    Note:  When changing modality, it is important to reboot the e-Node for the new protocol to take effect. Also, there is a maximum of one modality that can be active at one time.

    CSI Model Name Converging Systems Part Number(PN) Modality/Functionality Primary Modality Optional/non-concurrently Modality Tertiary/non-concurrently Compatibility w/ 3rd-party platforms
    e-Node 2000 99-1062-1xx PURE Mode (64,000 dimming steps) None None All platforms except for Lutron LEAP protocol (QSX/RadioRA3/Athena)
    e-Node 2100 99-1063-1xx DMX Mode (encoder-master) PURE Mode (64,000 dimming steps) None All platforms except for Lutron LEAP protocol (QSX/RadioRA3/Athena)
    e-Node 4000 99-1062-2xx PURE Mode (64,000 dimming steps) DALI II Mode None All platforms including Lutron LEAP protocol (QSX/RadioRA3/Athena)
    e-Node 4100 99-1063-2xx DMX Mode (encoder-master) PURE Mode (64,000 dimming steps) DALI II Mode All platforms including Lutron LEAP protocol (QSX/RadioRA3/Athena)

  2. Gateway Feature Set

    Depending upon the model of Gateway differing number of fixtures/output devices can be supported. See table below for important difference between Gateway.

    CSI Model Name # Fixtures Supported in Primary Modality # Fixtures Supported in Secondary Modality # Fixtures Supported in Tertiary Modality POE/Power Requirements Other
    e-Node 2000 Primary: PURE Mode--254 ILC-xx0 controllers Secondary: None Tertiary: None Ext 12v~24 PSU/100ma
    e-Node 2100 Primary: DMX Mode--32 dmx decoders Secondary: Pure--254 ILC-xx0 controllers Tertiary: None Ext 12v~24 PSU/100ma
    e-Node 4000 Primary: PURE Mode--254 ILC-xx0 controllers Secondary: DALI II --64 fixtures Tertiary: None POE Class 0/Optional 12~24 external pwr.
    e-Node 4100 Primary: DMX Mode--32 DMX decoders Secondary: PURE Mode--254 ILC-xx0 controllers Tierney: DALI II Mode--64 fixtures POE Class 0/Optional 12~24 external pwr.

  3. Mounting Issues for Gateways?

    Typically our Gateways are either mounted in the equipment rack or remotely depending upon of th design of the system. If the e-Node is mounted in the equipment rack, a LAN cable must be run the e-Node. Then associated ILC-xx0 controllers, including ILC-640d DALI II controllers can be mounted up to 4000 feet way provided CAT5 or better cabling is used between the e-Node's relevant output port and the downstream controller of the DMX fixture.

  4. Number of e-Node (Gateways) that can exist within a single system and can they be of mixed type (i.e., Pure Mode/DMX Mode/DALI II)?

    There is no physical limitation with respect to e-Node/xxxx Gateway that restricts the number that can be installed on a network (provided the network administrator has allowed for an expanded set of IP addresses and the router can accomodate that number of Gateways). Please refer to your automation system for any requirements that may related to the number of IP addresses that can be supported. Note, we have a number of vary large system that integrate numbers of e-Nodes (of various models) in the field.

  5. How many ILC-640d DALII controllers can be connected to a single e-Node 4x00?

    Currently, only one ILC-640d controller can be networked to a single e-Node/4x00. The e-Node/4x00 must be placed in DALI II mode and reboot for this protocol to take effect.
