Communications network and communications protocol
DyNet is the communications network and communications protocol for Dynalite lighting automation and building automation. It is now part of Philips Lighting.
Design
The network runs on a 4-twisted-pair cable of 100Ω 100 MHz CAT5E [permanent dead link] [1] or a flat cable with RS485 serial port, usually with a RJ-12 connector. A daisy-chain serial network topology is strongly recommended with no stubs. The recommended[1] cable colour-coding is:
Green/White pair = paralleled for GND
Orange/White pair = paralleled for +12V
Blue/White pair = blue for DATA+ and white for DATA-
Brown/White pair = spare or shield if unshielded cable is used.
