63 -While most third-party shade controllers have proprietary integration protocols specific to each manufacturer and model, there are common industry standards which dictate the wiring and hardware requirements to integrate third-party shades with ShowRunnerCLC™:
63 +=== IntelliFlex I/O A\V Gateway RS-485 ===
64 64  
65 -* Contact closure (Relays)
66 -** No standard specified length limitation (individual shade manufacturers may specify cabling and distance limitations)
67 -** Relay control can be susceptible to voltage drop or EMF interference: it is highly recommended to locate the Crestron controlled relay as close as possible to the shades interface being controlled
68 -* Serial RS-232
69 -** 50' maximum distance per specification
70 -** Point-to-point communication mandates a one-to-one relationship of Crestron RS-232 interfaces to shade RS-232 interfaces (i.e. there must be one RS-232 port available on the Crestron system for every RS-232 shade interface; depending on the shades design, a single shades interface may control many shades so it may be possible that a system with many shades only requires one RS-232 connection to the Crestron system)
71 -* Serial RS-485
72 -** 4000' maximum distance per specification (individual shades manufacturers may specify lower cabling and distance limitations, and real-world conditions may reduce the actual maximum distance that can be achieved before system performance is noticeably impacted)
73 -** Multidrop communications allows for daisy-chain and star wiring topologies, up to 32 devices per Crestron RS-485 interface (shades manufacturers may specify lower device counts)
74 -* TCP/IP communication (including HTTP/HTTPS, TelNet, etc.)
75 -** Standard [[Ethernet wiring limitations>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Ethernet Wiring Overview.WebHome]] apply
