2Wires-C
SYSTEM
Color Control System – CCS
The CCS control unit (code 022) is the primary unit of the 2Wires-C system. It deals with switching on and off, colour changing and dimming the driver piloting the RGBW LED lights, for a maximum of 10 A on a connection line up to 75 meters long.
CCS has different operative configurations defined by means of internal switches; it can operate:
- autonomously (accepting up to a maximum of six buttons directly connected to the control unit);
- driven by other 2Wires-W devices (as example: Input Module – to expand the number of physical buttons to be used; WIFI Module – to operate remotely with an iOS / Android tablet / smartphone the various functions; …);
- driven by an external Home Automation system, through specific 2Wires-W gateway devices (for example: DMX Module, KNX Module, MODBUS Module …);
- driven through the direct use of its own communication protocol.
CCS automatically recognize the 2Wires-C devices connected to its communication bus (after a reset); in case other devices are recognised, CCS will act taking into account the new identified functions. This feature avoids on-site or remote software configuration at the first installation and after the insertion of new devices when the lighting system is already operative.
The device is 3 DIN module wide.
Color Led Driver
This device (code 021) controls in constant current the connected RGBW light point. Multiple drives can be connected to the connection line; the maximum number of the drivers is determined by the sum of their absorptions that must not exceed the maximum current supplied by CCS. The drivers are available in 3 different current sizes (350/500/700 mA); other custom current sizes are feasible.
The size of the driver is about 77 x 33 mm.
Power Module
This device (code 056) allows the increasing of the maximum current supplied on a connection line and / or the maximum distance between CCS and drivers. The device, connected to the CCS connection line, acquires the original command signal transmitted by the CCS, regenerating it completely; the external power is used to supply the power required by the drivers connected on its own connection line. Three different current sizes are available (10/15/20 A).
The device is 6 DIN module wide.
Input Module
This device (code 023) allows the expanding of the number of buttons to be connected to the 2Wires system, communicating with the CCS control unit by the communication bus. The internal switches of the device allow to determine the address of the connected buttons.
The device is 3 DIN module wide.
Electronic Output Module
The device (Code 035) supplies eight electronic output (MOSFET); it allows driving third-party devices and/or common cathode RGBW strip led, with PWM advanced dimming functions as well.
Five current sizes are available (1/2/3/4/5 A per single output). The device is connected to CCS by communication bus. When more than one device is required, the switches inside determine the address of the device.
The device is 6 DIN module wide.
DMX/KNX/MODBUS Module
The device (code 025-DMX-C; 025-KNX-C; 025-MODBUS-C) integrates the 2Wires-C system with the main Home Automation standards, adding the advantages offered by Home Automation system to the advantages of 2Wires-W technology.
The device is connected to the CCS by the communication bus.
The device is 3 DIN module wide.
Relay Output Module
The device (code 050) supplies eight relay contacts (240 V 10 A per single relay), allowing to operate third-party devices. For example: rolling shutters; TV lift, and more.
The device is connected to MCS by communication bus. When more than one device is required, the switches inside determine the address of the devices.
The device is 6 DIN module wide.
Wi-Fi Module
By means of this device (code 074-C) an APP installed in IOs or Android O.S. can be used to execute the 2Wires-C system commands.
The device is connected to the CCS by the communication bus.
The device is 3 DIN module wide.
Analogue Module
The device (code 177-C) detects the values of four analogue inputs (2 dedicated to temperature probes; 2 dedicated to voltage probes); by means of the communication bus the device notifies the detected values to CCS, so that it can apply the programmed actions.
The device is 3 DIN module wide.
Command Console
The device (code 176-C), consisting of 16 programmable keys and a central display, operates as a Command Console. Its functions depend on the operative program defined for every lighting system. It is possible to use several Command Consoles in the 2Wires-C system, in order to control the light points as well as the actuators. The device is connected to CCS by communication bus.
