PAC2 Lighting Control Processor
NOTE: Crestron recommends that the control processor be mounted within a separate CAEN enclosure to create a
simplified low-voltage wiring center.
Cresnet Distribution
The built-in Cresnet hub serves as a repeater, splitter, and wiring block for large Cresnet networks. The hub allows
for 256 or more devices (touch screens, keypads, etc.) at 32 per segment (A-H) and distribution up to 914.4 m
per segment. There are eight independent segments, each with four Cresnet connectors wired in parallel. Each
segment has a dedicated driver/receiver for Cresnet communication. In addition, there is a master NET port on the
front panel. The eight NET (A-H) activity LEDs illuminate when a device on the respective segment transmits data.
When powered by the internal power supply, a maximum of 50 watts (dc) is available for all connected network
devices. The LEDs indicate communication on the Cresnet link. The on-board 36 MB memory is enhanced with a
4 GB expansion slot that supports off-the-shelf Type II compact flash memory. The hard disk drive provides
on-board storage of program and touch screens files, room and equipment profiles, upgrades, databases, and
schedules.
The unique Crestron dual bus system, with its high-speed I/O bus architecture, provides blazing fast throughput,
system wide. The two 40 Mb/s Y-BUS expansion slots offer the option of installing any of the CNX-series cards and
all C2-series control cards listed in the Crestron product catalog. The 300 Mb/s Z-BUS expansion slot is designed
for super high-speed control card applications such as 10/100 Ethernet, available via the Crestron single-port
C2ENET-1 and dual-port C2ENET-2 Ethernet cards.
The PAC2 also provides true secure network communications, which is required for today's corporate networks,
automated residence systems, and the Internet. The Dual Port 10/100BaseT Ethernet card (C2ENET-2) supports
dynamic and static IP addressing and full duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP. It offers a WAN port for Internet and remote-
location communications and a LAN port for local in-home use. A built-in firewall delivers network security with the
Network Address Translator (NAT) and router functions. The built-in web server uses memory storage on a compact
flash card for remote access and control.
• The PAC2 enables efficient control of lighting and
other systems such as HVAC and security.
• The PAC2 has been specifically designed for
the Crestron automation enclosure and the
Crestron lighting system, although other Crestron
processors can also be used.
• The PAC2 occupies one module space in
single-width enclosures and two module spaces
in double-width enclosures.
