I ?have the power loads distributed through my 4 CNPWS-75 power supplies distributed evenly to all the cresnet devices so I am good this way. ?
FTR, power supplies and Cresnet Hubs are not the same thing. The PSs are of course to provide sufficient power for various devices (Four 75w PSs seem to be ALOT for a lighting system, unless this is also for other integration devices as well).
A Cresnet hub (Available in stand-alone models and built into devices like the Pac2M which has two Hub Ports) allows a balancing for the communications load for multiple cresnet devices.?
EX: if you had 38 cresnet keypads, they would only draw ~ 40-60w but would require (for proper design) two hub ports. if you added seven CLX lighting modules, technically you should have three hub ports and thus would require an additional hub device with or in place of your Pac2M hub Ports.
*** Most all of us would agree that you can push this limit, especially depending on what devices and their characteristics, so in my example of 38 keypads and 7 modules, I would be very comfortable using only the two hub ports on the Pac2M because the keypads are a very low load on the system.? But professional design considerations need to be evaluated with your particular system...
How many Cresnet keypads, CLX modules and other cresnet devices are attached to your lighting system??
