Crestron Commercial Lighting Design Guide

System Design

Centralized Wired Systems

A centralized system is one in which all the high-voltage circuits are terminated within a Crestron automation enclosure and operate under a central control system. In a centralized design, the high voltage lighting, fans, motors and switch circuits are individually wired directly to the control modules in the Crestron automation enclosure. The modules are controlled by low voltage or RF user interfaces in the living area. This greatly simplifies the high voltage wiring while creating a flexible and efficient design using keypad and touchpanel interfaces.

A central processor, connected via a local area network to the lighting modules and the user interfaces, is dedicated to lighting, fans, motors, HVAC, and security. Processors that are dedicated to other control systems can communicate via Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-422 to the central controller. This eliminates the need for additional control that separate safety and environmental systems and is a flexible, fully integrated design solution.
