*Zūm Wired
Zūm Wired System Overview
Zūm Wired is a distributed lighting control system manufactured and distributed by Crestron that is set to replace the older Cresnet-based GLPP hardware. It uses industry standard 0-10V, phase dimming, DMX, and DALI protocols to allow for automated control of a building's lighting.
A Zūm Wired system consists of several devices that are joined on three distinct networks that each use the same Ethernet wiring standards. The three networks in a Zūm Wired system that use Ethernet standard cabling are:
- Ethernet
- Zūm Net
- Zūm Link - each Zūm Link run originates at a ZUMNET-JBOX and connects various Zūm Link devices within a a room. Zūm Link cable and JBOX devices are shown in orange on Figure 1, while Zūm Link keypads are shown in green.
In addition to the three networks listed above, there are two additional wiring standards that may be encountered to connect non-Zūm devices to the Zūm Link network, which are covered below under the Zūm Link section
Ethernet
Ethernet provides the backbone of the lighting network. Ethernet joins the Hub panels to each other, the processor, and (if the design calls for it) the building LAN. All Ethernet cabling should adhere to the Ethernet standards as covered elsewhere on this wiki.
Zūm Net
Zūm Net connects networked room-level controllers throughout the space to each other and to the lighting network. Each Zūm Net run will typically originate at a Hub or Processor panel and then connect to a number of ZUMNET-JBOX devices. There should be one ZUMNET-JBOX per room. Zūm Net cable and devices are shown in purple on Figure 1
