USA - ETC's Net3 ACN Gateway translates analogue input, relay output and serial communications to ACN network events for transport anywhere on the network lighting system.

These simple extensions to ETC's Net3 Gateway series provide connectivity and integration to many third-party products that send 0-10v DC outputs or require switch activations. More advanced equipment that uses RS232 serial communications can now integrate to Net3 control systems without the typical wiring limitations from the past, says the company.

Default settings allow for zero configuration on a typical system and customisation of the Gateway setup is just a few clicks away by ACN or with the Net3 Gateway Configuration Editor (GCE), which is now available for download at www.etcconnect.com .
