Characteristics
- The unit EMDC-64M is designed to control DALI electronic ballasts and DMX receivers from the
iNELS system.
- EMDC-64M enables control of up to 64 independent electronic ballasts DALI (Digital Addressable
Lighting Interface) for fl uorescent lamps, LEDs and other light sources.
- EMDC-64M also enables connection of up to 32 receivers DMX (Digital MultipleX) in a single
segment. When used repeaters can control up to 64 devices. Maximum amount of DMX controlled
channels is 64 channels.
- Control from iNELS BUS System via EBM BUS.
- DIP switches on the front panel to select the control interface (DALI/DMX).
- Addressing of DALI ballast units can be done via the central unit and iDM3 software or via MINI USB
on the front panel of the EMDC-64M and DALI Confi gurator software.
- The required functionality is set in user project in iDM3 software.
- The unit EMDC-64M is powered from the mains voltage 230 V AC.
- DALI BUS power supply is 16V/250 mA via an EMDC-64M unit.
- The system BUS EBM is galvanically separated from the BUSes DALI/DMX. Terminals for connecting
the DALI BUS are equipped with short circuit and surge protection.
- It is possible to connect up to 8 EMDC-64M units to one EBM BUS.
- If this concerns the last unit on a system BUS EBM, it is necessary to terminate the wire with a resistor
with nominal resistance of 120 Ω. The resistor is inside the unit, termination is made by shorting
neighboring terminals TERM and EBM+.
- The BUS DMX must be terminated at its end by a resistor with nominal resistive value 120 Ω. The
resistor for DMX BUS termination is on the side of the EMDC- 64M inside the unit, termination is
performed by shorting adjacent terminals TERM and A.
- Updating the fi rmware of the EMDC-64M can be done through the central unit adn software iDM3
or via MINI USB on the front panel and EMDC-64M Flasher software. Updating through MINI USB
must be done while system BUS EBM is disconnected.
- When confi guring DALI addresses two types are necessary to distinguished:
- MASTER - this group includes sensors and detectors and one DALI branch can connect up to 4
DALI MASTER units
• lighting intensity sensor DLS3-1
• motion detector DMD3-1
- SLAVE - electronic lighting ballast
- EMDC-64M in 3-MODULE design is designed for mounting in a control panel on a DIN rail EN60715.

Description of device
General instrucions
CONNECTION TO THE SYSTEM, BUS SYSTEM EBM
System units MI3-02M, EMDC-64M and GSM3-01M connect to the system through the EBM BUS
system. The BUS system conductors are connected to the terminals EBM+ and EBM-, wires can not
be interchanged. The BUS system EBM is essentially a symmetrical high-speed RS485 interface and,
as such, subject to requirements of the appropriate conduit. When installing the EBM BUS system it
is necessary to observe all the requirements for the installation of the RS485 interface. It is particularly
important to avoid overlapping with power lines (maintain a distance of at least 30 cm) and pay
attention to equipment generating emissions when these are located in the vicinity of system units
or the EBM BUS management system. These emissions must be suppressed to a desired level. For
the EBM BUS system it is necessary to use CAT5e UTP cable or higher, or an FTP CAT5e and higher
STP CAT5e or higher. For the EBM BUS management system it is not possible to use JYSTY cable or
iNELS BUS Cable, which are used to guide the installation of BUS. EBM system BUS topology is strictly
linear and there are no branches on the BUS. Both ends of the EMB BUS system require to terminate
by using a resistor with a nominal value of 120Ω resistance. Units CU3-01M, CU3-02M, MI3-02M and
GSM3-01M this resistor is inserted between the terminals and EBM+ EBM-. The unit EMDC-64M
resistor is included with the unit and closing is done by shorting adjacent terminals TERM and EBM+.
To power units CU3-01M, CU3-02M, MI3-02M and GSM3-01M it is recommended to use the PS3-100/
iNELS power supply. The EMDC-64M is powered by AC 230V. When installed, it is necessary to ensure
that the power cord itself does not cause interference with the unit.
CONNECTION TO THE SYSTEM, INSTALLATION BUS
iNELS3 peripheral units are connected to the system through the BUS installation. Installation
BUS conductors are connected to the terminal units to BUS+ and BUS- terminals, wires cannot be
interchanged. For installation of BUS it is necessary to use a cable with a twisted pair of wires with
a diameter of at least 0.8 mm, the recommended cable is iNELS BUS Cable, whose features best
meet the requirements of the BUS installation. Bearing in mind that in terms of all the properties
iit is it is possible in most cases also use the cable JYSTY 1x2x0.8 or JYSTY 2x2x0.8, however it is not
recommended as the best option. In the case of a cable with two pairs of twisted wires it is not possible
to use the second pair of the other for modulated signal due to the speed of communications; it is
not possible within one cable to use one pair for one segment BUS and the second pair for the
second segment BUS. For installation of BUS it is vital to ensure that it is kept at a distance from the
power lines of at least 30 cm and must be installed in accordance with its mechanical properties.
To increase mechanical resistance of cables we recommend installation into a conduit of suitable
diameter. Topology installation of BUS is free except for a circle, each end of the BUS must terminate
at terminals BUS+ and BUS-. While maintaining all the above requirements, the maximum length
of one segment of the installation BUS can reach up to 500 m. Due to the data communication
and supply of units in one pair of wires, it is necessary to keep in mind the diameter of wires with
regards to voltage loss on the lead and the maximum current drawn. The maximum length of the
BUS applies provided that they comply with the tolerance of the supply voltage.
OUTPUT BUS DALI AND DMX
DALI BUS is a two wire and polarization-independent BUS. The EMDC-64M converter has a power
supply installed inside (16 V / 250 mA). DALI BUS must not be connected to any external source. For
the management of DALI BUS there is not an exact cable type recommended, but it is important
120 Ω
to keep some installation conditions. For DALI BUS lines up to 100 m the recommended min.
conductor cross section is 0.5 mm

not recommended. The voltage drop at the end of the installation may not be greater than 2 V. In
the case of a 5-pin cable, be sure to avoid any confusion with the management of the BUS power
line. BUS connection topology is arbitrary and is not required to terminate. DMX was developed
as a digital interface for the control of eff ect lighting. BUS topology is strictly linear and must be
terminated at both ends of the resistor with a nominal value of 120Ω. With EMDC-64M this can be
done by shorting the ends of adjacent terminals TERM and A. In general, when you install DMX BUS
follow all RS485 installation requirements. When using repeaters you can control up to 64 receivers.
Ideally, the range may be up to 1200 m.
