Gilderfluke&Co DMX-512 Output MultiShow Brick - Manual (Page 9)

BackPlane Connections:
The BackPlane connection is through a sixty position double sided edge connector (thirty connections
on each side on .1Ó centers). This normally is plugged into a card cage, but can also be used with an IDS
or other discrete edge connector. We recommend an Insulation Displacement (IDE) connector for the lat-
ter.
The first ten positions are used for the Smart Brick network and RS-422 Serial Port. They are normally
bussed between all the cards in the card cage (although they can be separated by cutting the lines if de-
sired). The BR-MultiShow does not use the Smart Brick Network.
The next forty positions are used to connect to the optically isolated inputs that are used to start and
stop the BR-MultiShow. This pinout is identical to that used on the BS-BRN-CRD1 Smart Brick Brains. This al-
lows the BR-MultiShow Bricks to be used with the KP-300 operator panel. These inputs are all optoisolated,
and you must provide a (nominal) 24 volts DC to the appropriate lines for them to work.
The last ten positions are used to provide power to the BR-MultiShow. These wires are ganged to
provide a higher current carrying capacity. The pinout of this connector is as follows:
