DIN-BLOCK
The DIN-BLOCK is a DIN Rail-mounted Cresnet® distribution block designed
to facilitate the termination of Cresnet wiring at a head end or distribution
point. DIN Rail mounting enables modular installation alongside Crestron
DIN Rail lighting and automation control modules and other third-party
DIN Rail mountable devices.

12 port Cresnet distribution block
Detachable screw terminal blocks for easy termination and
troubleshooting
Split power bus for flexible 24V power distribution
Diagnostic LEDs for network power and data
Passive device — no programming required
Cresnet Distribution
Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron lighting modules, wall
box dimmers, shade controllers, thermostats, keypads, touchpanels, and many
other devices. This flexible 4-wire bus allows for combinations of homerun
and daisy-chain wiring, and the DIN-BLOCK provides a simple means for
connecting up to 12 separate Cresnet cables as part of any sized network.
Cresnet Power Distribution
In addition to data, Cresnet carries 24 volts DC for powering the devices
connected to it. The Cresnet ports on the DIN-BLOCK are arranged into two
separate power groups, providing an easy way to manage the distribution of
power for a complete Cresnet network. A separate power supply may be
dedicated to each group, or a single supply can be connected to both groups
as needed. Each group supports up to 75 watts.
DIN-PWS50
The DIN-PWS50 is a 50 watt Cresnet power supply module designed to
snap onto a standard DIN Rail installation. DIN Rail mounting enables
modular installation alongside Crestron DIN Rail lighting and automation
control modules and other third-party DIN Rail mountable devices. All
wiring connections are made using screw terminals positioned along the
top and bottom, clearly accessible from the front for easy installation and
servicing. Three Cresnet power ports are provided.
