Crestron DIN-2MC2 – DIN Rail Motor Control Module, 2 Feeds, 2 Channels

Product Overview

The Crestron DIN-2MC2 is a DIN rail-mounted 2-channel bidirectional motor control module for controlling motorized window shades, blinds, drapes, projection screens, and other bidirectional motor-driven window treatment and AV infrastructure devices in Crestron DIN rail building automation systems. Each channel provides independent bidirectional (up/down, open/close) relay control with adjustable travel limits and motor runtime, connecting via Cresnet to the DIN-AP4 control processor for scene-based shade presets, scheduled shade control, occupancy-triggered daylight management, and touch panel position control.

Product Description

Motorized window treatments — roller shades, venetian blinds, draperies, and projection screens — require bidirectional control: the motor must run in both directions to open and close the shade or extend and retract the screen. The DIN-2MC2 provides this bidirectional relay control on 2 independent channels, each with configurable motor runtime limits to prevent over-travel at the full-open and full-close positions. Cresnet integration with the DIN-AP4 enables the full range of Crestron shade automation: scene presets that position multiple shades simultaneously, scheduled shade movements for daylight management and energy savings, occupancy-triggered shade adjustments when a room is entered or vacated, and touch panel or keypad position control with up/stop/down commands. The DIN rail form factor integrates into the DIN-EN-6X18 enclosure alongside the DIN-AP4, DIN-1DIM4, DIN-8SW8-I, and other DIN modules for a complete single-enclosure building automation installation.

Key Features

• 2-Channel Bidirectional Motor Control: Controls two independent bidirectional motor loads (shades, blinds, drapes, projection screens) with up/down or open/close relay control on each channel.
• Adjustable Travel Limits: Configurable motor runtime limits on each channel prevent over-travel at the fully open and fully closed positions, protecting motor and shade mechanism from damage.
• Cresnet Integration: Connects to DIN-AP4 via Cresnet for full building automation shade control — scene presets, scheduled positions, occupancy-triggered adjustments, and touch panel control.
• DIN Rail Mounting: Snaps onto 35mm DIN rail in the DIN-EN-6X18 enclosure alongside DIN-AP4 and other Crestron DIN rail modules.
• CRESNET-HP Cable Required: Shade motor Cresnet wiring should use CRESNET-HP (high-power) cable for adequate 24VDC power delivery at the motor under load — refer to Crestron wiring guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shade motors does the DIN-2MC2 control?
The DIN-2MC2 controls AC bidirectional shade motors with standard line-voltage (mains AC) motor connections. It is not compatible with low-voltage DC shade motors or RS-485/Lutron Sivoia shade systems. Verify motor type compatibility before specifying. Contact Creation Networks for shade motor compatibility guidance.

What Cresnet cable should be used for shade motor wiring?
Crestron recommends CRESNET-HP (high-power Cresnet cable) for shade motor wiring to ensure adequate 24VDC power delivery under motor load. Contact Creation Networks for Cresnet cable specification guidance for shade motor installations.

What is the warranty on the Crestron DIN-2MC2?
Crestron provides a standard 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details.
