DCS400

The module represents the interface for relay boards, logic boards, analog level I/O-boards, a monitor module, and rotary encoders. It is inserted into slot 1 (the slot all the way on the left) on the rear of the DCS 400 rack frame. It is controlled from the DPM4000 via RS-485 remote interface Maximally 12 relay modules (DCS408R / DCS 409R / DCS 408 / DCS 409), 5 logic input modules (DCS 412R, DCS 412), 2 analog I/O modules (DCS 416R / DCS416), 2 rotary encoders and 1 monitor module DCS 420 can be connected to a single DCS 401R control module. Major Features Two RJ-45 sockets for connecting the DPM 4000 and cascading several DCS 401R or DCS 401 modules. Galvanic isolated RS-485 port. Connector for 2 rotary encoders. Connector for DCS 420 monitor module. Monitoring via watchdog circuitry. Service-functions and testing-software for all connected modules.6 binary switches for setting addresses and selecting service-functions. 1 pen-tip pushbutton – test start. 3 LED’s - red, yellow, green for test mode and status. A maximum amount of 8 modules DCS 401R or DCS 401 can be cascaded.

The DCS 420 Monitor Manager is a 2RU unit offering acoustic control and visual level metering of audio in the system. Switching and displaying of up to 250 audio signal sources, as well as, controlling the volume is carried out via front panel control switches. The DCS420 receives its audio feed from the monitor output of the DPM4000. DCS420 system control functions are carried out through a connection to the DCS401 controller module. The front panel controls of the DCS420 offer audio level and line control switching of either the input signal or the output signal of the system amplifiers.With several external sound sources connected, switching is performed through the DCS 409R module. When using remote-amplifiers, switching audio signals to the monitor bus is accomplished directly inside the amplifier. The signals are transmitted via remote interconnection cables

These modules provide relay contact closures for use in switching audio or other control functions. The 408R is capable of switching of 70v or 100V speaker lines. The 409R is capable of switching line level audio signals or control outputs. The 408R can also be used to provide contact closures where higher voltages and/or current may be involved. Major Features 5 line relays, each with 2 switching contacts. Phoenix type connector for all contacts. 5 relay control-LED’s. Configuring the signal distributor is possible through separating wire-bridges. 12 DCS relay modules can be cascaded.
