C32

Panel Interface

Abstract: Control panel (CTC) bus interface module.

Specs

Bus interface to a CTC panel. The number of CTC panel interfaces within an RTB domain is not limited.

Features,

  • EDG interface (TTL /w signal reshaping)
  • CTC bus output
    • 1A max power supplied to CTC panel bus
    • optional Power connector for CTC with high current draw
    • short circuit protection
  • firmware update over the bus

Examples

Every panel, like the one shown on the right, will be attached to the EDG bus using the C32 module. The CTC bus is using a higher voltage (5V) than the EDG bus (3.3V). Other than that, the bus protocol is identical between CTC and EDG bus.

Each layout module/segment may have its own CTC interface like shown below. This allows for local control panels distributed across the real-estate.

Example: How local control panels integrate with the RTB
Three Segments, each with its local control panel
