Overview
This manual covers functions and configuration of the CEM+ and Sensor+ Connect that are
available to the Guest and User and Power User login levels.
A Sensor+ dimming system controls lighting using EDMX™ control levels from a lighting
control system on the ETCNet2™ network and/or DMX512 control levels from a lighting
control system on the DMX network and/or architectural presets which can also be used as
backup looks. The CEM+ can accept levels from EDMX and up to two DMX512A inputs.
The configuration of your dimming system determines which input or combination of inputs
will generate the output levels of your dimmers.
System Components
The Sensor+ system consists of Sensor+ racks or packs, CEM+ control modules and
various dimmer module types, however a module may contain only a circuit breaker, a
relay, or may contain no electronics at all.
CEM+ Control Module
The CEM+ control module is required for Sensor+ dimming systems - the system will not
function without a properly configured CEM+. This module serves as the real time
processor for incoming control signals and transmits that information to the individual
dimmers. It also monitors the system status and reports any errors. The CEM+ module can
be used to configure the system. Configuration and error data can be accessed either
locally at the CEM+ keypad, or by using the Sensor+ Connect web browser interface.
Networked Sensor+ systems can be split into separately configured subsystems called
Groups. Each configuration can support up to 16 CEM+ modules in a Group. The Group
configuration is stored in all CEM+ modules in that group. A single ETCNet2 network may
contain up to 64 Groups (up to 1024 racks total). One exception to these rules are racks
which can contain two CEM+s in redundant tracking mode. In this mode, the number of
racks in a Group are limited to 8 racks (still 16 CEM+ modules).
The CEM+ has an Ethernet data input for incoming EDMX data and two DMX512 input
ports (Port A and Port B). DMX Port B can be used as a DMX output port for one universe
of DMX on the last logical rack in the Group. Data management is determined in the Group
configuration.
