ETC Unison Paradigm ACP Configuration Manual v2.1.2 - Manual (Page 11)

Introduction 6
• Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) on an RJ45 female connector. This connection networks the
host Paradigm ACP with other ACPs and devices on the control network.
• Termination available for dry contact closures on 8 pin pluggable connectors:
• 4 electrically isolated inputs and 4 common wires
• 4 normally open outputs and 4 common wires
The Paradigm ACP utilizes the Paradigm LinkConnect (LinkPower) control network and
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) to provide flexible control of dimming systems and architectural
control stations.
Right I/O
The right I/O board on the DRd and ERn enclosures provide a majority of the control inputs
into the system including:
• Auxiliary Power - provides 24 Vdc power to some Unison architectural control stations.
• LinkPower - station communication bus from the Paradigm ACP to the architectural
control stations.
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) - addresses up to 512 channels of control. In an ERn enclosure,
the Paradigm ACP supports two configurable DMX universes, individually configurable
for input or output. In a DRd enclosure, the Paradigm ACP supports only one universe
of DMX, selectable as an input or an output, and one dedicated DMX output. DMX
through connections are also provided.
Additional detail for connections found on the right I/O boards are detailed in the related
enclosure (DRd or ERn) installation documentation.
N o t e : Check the pin-out of the connected RS-232 service to ensure correct pairing of
transmit and receive lines. The RS-232 cable (not supplied) should follow
common RS-232 pinout for a DB- 9 receptacle (pin 2 is RS-232 Rx, pin 3 is
RS-232 Tx, and pin 5 is ground).
