DIN Rail Control Processor Crestron DIN-AP2
2-Series Processor
Built upon Crestron’s reliable 2-Series control engine, the DIN-AP2 is
extensively programmable using Crestron’s suite of powerful
development software and vast database of drivers and software modules.
The DIN-AP2 works seamlessly with Crestron’s entire line of lighting
dimmers and shade controls, keypads and touchpanels, thermostats,
wireless gateways, and expansion modules.
DIN Rail Installation
The DIN-AP2 is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for
installation in a wall mount enclosure or mounted on a wall panel. Wiring
connections are made using detachable screw terminals positioned along
the top and bottom, clearly accessible from the front for easy installation
and servicing. All setup controls and connections are positioned on the
center front panel. When installed in an enclosure utilizing 45 mm
cutouts, the DIN-AP2’s front panel stays accessible while all other
connections are concealed.
System Integration
The DIN-AP2 provides for the integration of non-Crestron devices and
subsystems through a host of control interfaces. Four isolated relays and
eight Versiport I/O ports are built in to accommodate all kinds of sensors,
contactors, door strikes, and other low-voltage controls. Two
bidirectional RS-232 COM ports and four IR/serial ports allow for the
integration of everything from simple shade controllers to advanced
security systems. Additional interfaces and controllers can be added
easily using Crestron’s DIN Rail series lighting and automation modules.
Cresnet
®
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 streamlines the wiring
of a complete Crestron system. The DIN-AP2 includes a pair of Cresnet
master ports (paralleled) capable of supporting approximately 20 typical
devices. Larger systems with more than 20 devices can be handled by
adding the DIN-HUB Cresnet Distribution Hub. Connectivity for
multiple homeruns can be facilitated using one or more DIN-BLOCK
Cresnet Distribution Blocks. Additionally, at least one DIN-PWS50
