Product Specification

Micro Controlled Dimmer 4x100W/2x200W/1x300W+1x100W

1.0 GeneralThe DMM13001 module is a dimmer with 4 channels of maximum 100Watts. If the load exceeds 100W, the 4 channels can be combined according to the needs : 1x100W + 1x300W, 2 x 200W or 1x400W.The module is designed for DIN rail mounting and is 6U wide (105mm). The DMM13001 module is suitable for switching and controlling dimmable electronic control gear for fluorescent lighting, compact fluorescent lighting or dimmable LED lighting.

The dimmer has a thermal protection and a short circuit protection.

The dimmer can be controlled in several ways :a) by push buttons connected to the dimmer inputs.b) by analog inputs (0..10V)c) by push buttons connected to the busd) by an easyplus home server connected to the bus.

BUS Control : The dimmer module is controlled via the Easyplus CAN-bus. Commands coming from an Easyplus server or an Easyplus input device are controlling the dimmer outputs. The dimmer value and ramp speed are varied through the bus system.

Analog input control (0..10V): The dimmer module is controlled by a 0-10V input signal. A voltage between 0 and 10 volts is applied to the input connector and according to the input, the output 230V AC follows.

Push button control : The dimmer is controlled by buttons. You can connect 4 buttons to control the 4 dimmer outputs. The last value of the output is stored in the ram memory.

2.0 LoadsThe DMM13001-B is fit for light bulbs, halogen lamps (230VAC), dimmable retrofit ledlamps and electronic transformers.

** Remark : there is another type of the 4 channel dimmer : type DMM13001-M/I to control motors and inductors.

3.0 MountingThe module fits on a standard DIN Rail and needs no special tools to install it.

4.0 Power Connections

4.1 General

The electrical connection is made with the standard bus connector and the big power connector on top of the dim-mer. The module is powered with 24V DC via the bus connector. You can also add power only without connecting the bus system. The 10 pole power connector is supplied by 230VAC.

5.0 Dimmer Control Modes

5.1 Dimmer Control by 4 buttons on the direct inputs.

The 4 dimmer channels are controlled by 4 buttons which are connected to the 4 digital inputs on the dimmer itself. The dimmer channels are then controlled with a dimmer function. Short push a button to light the light source to the last “on” light level, press short again to switch the light off. Long press to increase the light level, short release and long press again to decrease the light level.

5.1.1 Jumper setting A jumper must be placed on the pins J3.



DMM13001-B



5.2 Dimmer Control by analog inputs 0..10V

The 4 dimmer channels are now controlled by an external 0..10V signal. The signal can be generated by a potenti-ometer or by a home automation system.

Remark : If you use 0..10V analog signals to control the dimmer channels, the dimmer cannot be controlled by an Easyplus home server. 5.2.1 Jumper setting

The jumper on J3 must be removed.

5.3 Dimmer Control by external buttons

The 4 dimmer channels are controlled by 4 buttons which are connected to the bus system of the dimmer. The input address will control the channel of the dimmer with the same address. For example : the dimmer pro-grammed base address is 24, so dimmer channel 0 = address 24, dimmer channel 1 = address 25, dimmer channel 2 = address 26 and dimmer channel 3 = address 27. If we push on a digital input with address 24 we will control the dimmer channel 0. Using input 27 will control channel 3.

5.4 Dimmer Control by Easyplus Home Server

The dimmer will be controlled by the Easyplus home server through the bus system. The dimmer behavior is then programmed with the Easylink software. For more information can be found in the Easylink software help.



DMM13001-B



Remark : if the dimmer channels are controlled by an Easyplus home server, the analog inputs on the dimmer can-not be used.5.4.1 Jumper setting

The jumper on J3 must be removed.

5.5 Dimmer control in Pre home automation system

The dimmer is controlled by digital inputs from bus system or/and is controlled by the direct inputs on the dimmer module. In this mode, all of the dimmer channels will be switched off by an external long push on digital input 0.


6.0 Higher output power by output paralleling.Every channel can handle a load up to 100W. It is possible to combine several outputs to be able to have one output of 200, 300 or 400W. Setting up the dimmer to combine several outputs is done in the Easyplus dimmer control software, which can be freely downloaded for the website. To use the software, you will need the Easyplus USB-Bus interface. Order code : USB14011

6.2 Programming hardware

To change the configuration of the 4 channel dimmer, there is an Easyplus dimmer configuration tool. The tool can be downloaded from the website, www.apexsyst.com. The program makes use of the USB14001_USB_BUS interface. Just connect the interface to the usb plug of the pc on one side and to the bus system on the other side.

** In many cases, the configuration of the dimmer doesn’t need any changes.

6.3 Description of the software tool

6.3.1 General descriptionThe dimmer configuration software is used to test and to fine tune your dimmer channels. You can set the minium level and the profile of each channel. You can also change the base address and check the over-heat protection value. ** check out the drawing on the next page.

6.3.2 Base Address ProgrammingIf used in a bus system every dimmer needs to get a different base address. You can change it by selecting the module base address spin button and then press the button “Program Base Address”. Then press the small button on the module itself (see below). A led starts blinking and the confirmation is received in the program. In the left under corner a small message appears for a small time period.

6.3.3 Testing / Minium level settings To test every channel, select the module base address and then move the sliders form each channel. Check out where the minimum light level is and then press the button “Set Minimum Level Ch1(..4)” to set the minimum level. Now the light level on that channel will start from the stored light value.

6.3.4 Combining ChannelsTo be able to connect loads up to 400Watts it is possible to combine several output channels. Select sev-eral output check boxes under one input control. This input will then control the selected output channels at the same time. You also need to connect the output channels on the hardware site. Check out higher in the document.

6.3.5 Select ProfileThe output behavior of every channel can be changed by selecting another profile according to the kind of load. Every output channel can have it’s own output profile.

6.3.6 Overheat protectionThe module has an overheating protection. If a channel gets to hot, the module shuts down until it has been cooled. After cooling, it restarts automatic. In the software there is a button “get overheat protection value” to be able to read the heat value on this moment. In this way it is also easy to determine if the mod-ule is to loaded or not.

8.0 Bus terminator When using the DMM13001 module in a bus system, be sure that there are two bus terminators placed in the bus system. If the module is on the end of the cable please put a jumper on the bus terminator jumper pins. Two bus terminators must be used for the proper working of the bus system. Don’t put 3 or more terminators in a single bus.



DMM13001-B



How can we know if the bus is terminated properly ? We can measure the resistance between the CanH and the CanL. If the resistance is about 70 or 80 ohms, depending on the kind and the length of the wires, it is ok. If we measure 120 a 140 ohm, then there is only one bus terminator installed and another one should be placed.

Consult the Easyplus technical manual for details on how the bus works and how it should be properly terminated.
