ART IO
The ART IO is an expansion module in the ART SSC product family of solid-state lighting controllers. It offers interfacing to digital and analogue inputs and digital outputs
and supports various protocols like DMX, RS-232, OSC, UDP and Art-Net.
The ART IO features 8 inputs that can be individually configured as digital or analogue input. Set as digital input, it allows for an easy connection with for example physical
switches and sensors. When set to analogue, it supports 0-10V and 1-10V inputs; ideal for connecting to household dimmers. The 8 outputs on the ART IO are relay-
switched and can handle 1 Amp. The digital outputs can be used to switched various other devices like A/V equipment, blinds or heavy-duty relays. Additionally, the
ART IO is fitted with a DMX-512 port that can be configured as input or output, and a bi-directional RS-232 port. Through its network port, the ART IO also supports OSC,
UDP and Art-Net protocols that can be used for triggering and conversion. The ART IO comes with its own power supply, but can be powered over Ethernet as well, using
Class I PoE switches.
The compact and versatile ART IO is the ideal expansion for the ART SSC in projects that demand more IO. Furthermore, ART IO is equally well suited for standalone IO
interfacing or working together with any third-party show control system.
With lighting projects becoming more complex eve-
ry day, the ART SSC features powerful Show Control logic
for advanced system integration. The Show Control editor
enables you to program triggers and actions based on
events from scheduled dates or times, time code, contact
closures or any other incoming signal.
The Show Control editor also allows for powerful protocol
conversions between any physical port, like DMX or MIDI
and any Ethernet based protocol like Art-Net or OSC.
The enclosure is prepared for DIN-rail mounting with an
optional adapter.

Projects
Power-over-Ethernet
The ART IO is Power-over-Ethernet compliant. Although
supplied with a separate power supply, the ART IO can
operate without this power supply when a PoE enabled
network switch in integrated in the network. PoE capability
facilitates easy integration in the network environment.
PoE
aTouch
For the ultimate stand-alone playback, the ART SSC is
compatible with the aTouch software. aTouch is a cross-
platform (Windows, Mac & Linux) touch screen user-in-
terface. In the ART SSC any combination of buttons and
faders can be programmed, that will be available to the
operators using aTouch.
RS-232
ART IO features a bi-directional RS-232 port which allows for
easy integration with computer periphery or whole home
automation systems like AMX or Crestron.

232
GPI
Features 8 GPI contacts, individually switchable from ana-
logue to digital. Set to analogue, these accept 0-10V and
can be calibrated, set to digital these accept traditional
switches and sensors.
