1 Solution Overview

Congratulations!

Your PRICOM Layout Lighting Solution will bring you the next step to realism.

The Layout Lighting main board is the heart of a Lighting and Sound animation

sequencer solution and measures only 3 ½ by 4 ½ inches. This small board includes a

DMX-512 Dimmer Controller, complete PNET (PRICOM Network) host and slave

implementation, DCC Receiver, full web server, along with local trigger inputs and

control outputs, this is truly the most economical animation controller of its kind.

All configurations are stored on the included microSD Card, readily inserted into your

computer to backup any configurations. By using a microSD Card you are able to mount

the board to anything and anywhere, and easily update the firmware that the system uses.

The PRICOM Layout Lighting Solution is available as a complete Starter Kit pictured

below. This represents a minimal configuration with One Layout Lighting Main Board,

Two PNET Power Controllers, One PNET Opto-Input Trigger board, Two RGB LED

Strips, and Two White LED Strips, 12VDC Power Supplies, and all necessary cables to

make it work right out of the box.

Of course you can expand your system indefinitely, depending on the size of your

application. DMX-512 equipment is available from many sources and priced quite

economically for DJ applications.

You can control external devices with our line of PNET control products. We have Small

current (PNET ULN-Output), large current (PNET DC Power Controller), and high

output quantity (PNET Hex Driver) products to meet your specific applications.

You can trigger events with our line of trigger boards. PNET Opto-Input gives you 4

Optically Isolated Input Triggers, and PNET Block Occupancy gives you 4 DCC Block

Detectors with small to large sensitivity. With these products you can control your

Layout Lighting via external devices such as a button, block occupancy, motion sensor,

etc.

We have even more PNET products in the planning stage now.

All configuration and control is performed over your local network using a web browser

such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or other browsers. You can use a

tablet, smart phone, or laptop for these functions, all it needs is a web browser.

In this manual, we will go over the features, configuration, and operation of not only the

Layout Lighting Solution, but also how to use many of the other PRICOM Design

products that work with the Layout Lighting Solution.

2 Layout Lighting Main Board

The following pages describe the features and functions of the Layout Lighting Main

Board. Later in the manual we will go into more detail about the connections, and the

software operations in a typical system. You can keep your solution simple, or make it as

elaborate as you wish. With so many options and Configurations available to you, the

possible uses are endless.

Figure 1 - Layout Lighting Main Board

2.1 Power Input

The Layout Lighting Main Board requires an external power source, which is applied to

this terminal strip. 9-18V AC or DC power can be used, but we strongly recommend

using 12VDC as this will be perfect for powering other PNET devices.

2.2 Power LED’s

One Green LED indicator for 3.3V and another for 5V. Both of these LED’s will be

illuminated anytime power is applied to the Power Input. If either of these LED’s is not

lit, the rest of the board will not operate correctly.

Layout Lighting Solution –Main Board

2.3 Status LED’s

Three Status LED’s are included to show the current operations happening on the Layout

Lighting Main Board. LA is Blue, LB is Green, and LC is Red. Under normal operations,

LA will show PNET activity, LB will show Web Server activity, and LC will show SD

Card activity.

These LED’s have special meaning when performing Firmware Updates

(please see the section on Firmware Updates later in this manual)

2.4 Push Button

The push button is used to initiate Firmware Updates. If the button is pressed when the

power is applied, a new firmware image will be read from the SD card and written to the

FLASH memory of the Layout Lighting Main Board.

(Please see the section on Firmware Updates later in this manual)

2.5 Micro SD Card and Socket

All configuration and setup information is contained on this SD Card. You can use any

standard computer to backup your configuration data from this card. When a new

firmware update is desired, you simply copy the Firmware Image onto the SD card and

use the Push Button to trigger a Firmware Update.

The connector used on the Layout Lighting Main Board is unique in that the card is

loaded from the top and not from the front like some other connectors. One major

advantage of this style is that it ensures that the card does not accidently fall out when the

device is mounted.

To load the card into the connector, simply insert the card into the socket from the top

and while pushing down with your finger, pull towards yourself, you will feel when it is

secure. If the card is not properly fitted into the socket, it will actually pop back up, the

only time the card will remain down is when it is correctly inserted into the connector.

2.6 Ethernet Jack

The Layout Lighting Solution uses a computer or laptop with a web browser for all setup

and configuration. The Ethernet Jack must be connected to your home network in order

to be accessed by a web browser. The Ethernet connection is 10/100 Mbit Ethernet. At

power-up, the Ethernet Interface will request an IP address from your home router. You

must know the address given by your home router so that you can enter that IP address

into your web browser to reach the configuration pages.

2.7 PNET Jacks

PNET (PRICOM Network) is the bus that allows many input and output modules to be

simply connected to your system. Both jacks are the same, and can be used

interchangeably. PNET uses standard 6-wire modular cabling, the same as most DCC cab

bus wiring.

2.8 DCC Input

Your Layout Lighting Solution can be directly attached to a DCC bus in order to use

DCC events as trigger sources. This input is not isolated, so it is important to connect the

DCC System Ground to the “G” terminal on this input.

(See the connections section later in this manual for more details)

2.9 DMX Output

A key feature of the Layout Lighting Solution is the ability to mix-and-match DC

dimmers connected to PNET, and AC dimmers connected to the industry standard DMX-

512 interface. The DMX output allows you to purchase any compliant devices and simply

attach them to the DMX-512 interface.

2.10 Trigger Input

The Trigger Input provides direct attachment of 4 local push-buttons. These can be used

for any function, but are perfect for master room light buttons. These inputs are not

isolated, and so are best used for push-buttons and not any other more elaborate input

triggers. For Optically Isolated Trigger Inputs, please consider our PNET Opto-Input

Trigger Board which contains 4 optically isolated input trigger channels.

2.11 Control Output

As its name implies, you may use this function on the Dream Player to control up to four

outputs such as LED’s, Relays, etc… The outputs can be controlled by Sequences

configured with your web browser.

2.12 Mode Switches

This DIP Switch can set master-control modes.

All positions are currently un-used and reserved for future use.

3 Connections

The following section provides detailed instructions for connecting your Layout Lighting

Solution. To get started quickly, all you need to do is connect the Power Input, the

Ethernet, and PNET to any attached boards. The Starter Kit Assembly section of this

manual describes setting up a basic first system. Then when you are ready, you can get

more advanced and use the Trigger Inputs and Control Outputs.

3.1 Power Input

The Layout Lighting Solution is provided with a 12VDC wall

transformer which matches the needs of any PNET boards

attached. With a 12VDC input, the Main Board will draw

about 250MA when active. You can use any suitable power

supply of 9-18V AC or DC, but we strongly recommend

using 12VDC as this will be perfect for powering other PNET

devices.

If you wish to power multiple PNET boards, a single larger

power supply can be used, just allow for 250MA for the

Layout Lighting Main Board. As a convenience to you, we

offer a full range of Power Supplies ranging from 12VDC @

1Amp up to 12VDC @ 30Amp. Please visit our web site

www.pricom.com

The power source used can be shared with other devices, but

be careful as some of the PNET devices are polarity sensitive.

The PNET Power Controller is a perfect example. Putting the

Layout Lighting Main Board on its own 12VDC @ 2A power

supply is usually sufficient and keeps the high-current supply

separated and prevents accidental polarity issues.

To connect the power supply to the Layout Lighting Main

Board, locate the 2-position “Power Input” terminal strip.

If your desired power-supply comes with a connector on the

end, simply clip it off as shown to the right. Separate the two

wires and strip some insulation off to expose the actual wires

then twist them to keep the strands together. Secure the

stripped wire ends to the 2 terminals of the Power Input

terminal strip. The polarity of an AC or DC power source is

not important as there is a bridge rectifier included on the

Layout Lighting Main Board.
