Control Freak eDIDIO Series 10 DX DALI-DMX Open Protocol Translator

The eDIDIO Series 10 DX is an Ethernet-enabled, high-capacity DALI to DMX512 translator. It allows for the seamless integration of DMX-controlled fixtures into a DALI-based control architecture, emulating DALI devices to bridge the two protocols. Core Technical Specifications • Translation Capacity: Supports the translation of up to 16 DMX512 channels as a standard feature. • DALI Emulation: This version can emulate up to 32 DALI devices, allowing a single DIN-mounted unit to control 32 DMX channels via 32 emulated DALI addresses. • Ethernet Connectivity: Equipped with a 10/100 Base T port supporting DHCP and multiple open TCP sockets for network integration. • Open Protocol API: Utilises a Protocol Buffers-based API to facilitate rapid integration with third-party systems in most programming languages. • Power & Protection: Powered by a 24VDC source (400mA) with immunity to polarity reversal and protection against over-current and transients. Functional Capabilities • Flexible Configuration: Allows for offsets to be set for both DMX512 and DALI channels to match specific project requirements. • Translation Objects: Supports three distinct translation objects, enabling sophisticated multi-line DMX to DALI data handling. • Spektra Colour Control: (optional) Includes an onboard engine for high-fidelity control of up to 6 colours per light (e.g., RGB/A/WW/CW) for DALI or DMX fixtures. • I/O Interfacing: Features 12 digital I/O terminals; 8 are dedicated inputs for potential-free contacts, while 4 can be software-configured as optically isolated outputs. • Autonomous Logic: Includes 32 internal lists (8,196 steps) and 10 interrupt-driven schedules to trigger actions across both protocols.
