- Connector: Micro-Fit 3.0 2x4p
Power Delivery
How much current can i draw? Please see table below. Testing has shown that an average panel with LED-backlight draws around 100mA, thus if you use all 3 buses you can connect well over 100 panels. So in practice, if you don’t go absolutely crazy, you don’t really need to worry too much about this.
Please use standard network cables (not the slim-type). At least 26 AWG is recommended, smaller numbers mean more power. Slim-type cables are usually 28 AWG and would limit your Slaves to about 500mA instead of 1A, although even this is usually enough for most panels. If your panels include a lot of servos, steppers or incandescent bulbs, you should calculate or measure your power draw.
Component | Absolute Limit |
---|---|
System as a whole, limited by the Master Controller | 15A, 5A per Bus (180W) |
Each Slave Controller, including backlight and auxiliary light drive. | 1A Per Slave (12W) |
Physical appearance may vary due to availability of components and other factors, functionality remains the same.
