Lumascape LS6560 Protocol Converter
Integrating DALI, DMX, PWM, and 0-10V Lighting Systems
Overview
Lumascape's LS6560 Protocol Converter is designed to convert DMX to PWM, DALI to PWM, DALI to DMX, and 0-10V to PWM. This facilitates seamless integration of Lumascape products into most commercial lighting installations. PowerSync™ enabled luminaires can be controlled via DALI with ease. The DMX output signal of the LS6560 Protocol Translator can be fed directly into the LS6540, LS6550, or LS6555 PowerSync™ Data Injectors to control any PowerSync™ enabled luminaires on the network. The LS6560 is also suitable to control Lumascape PWM enabled luminaires.
