About the Crestron DIN-AP2 DIN Rail 2-Series Control Processor
The Crestron DIN-AP2 is a DIN-rail mountable 2-Series control processor designed for integration into electrical panels and industrial control environments. This processor serves as the central intelligence for automation systems, managing and executing control logic for lighting, HVAC, security, AV, and other building management subsystems. Its compact, modular form factor allows it to be installed alongside circuit breakers, relays, and other electrical components on a standard DIN rail, saving space and facilitating a clean, organized installation within an enclosure. The DIN-AP2 brings the full programming power and reliability of the Crestron 2-Series platform to applications where rack-mount or desktop processors are not practical, such as in manufacturing facilities, utility rooms, distributed equipment closets, or custom residential panels.
Functionally, the processor is equipped with a range of built-in control ports, including digital and analog inputs/outputs, relay contacts, and Cresnet connectivity for expanding the system with additional Cresnet devices like keypads and sensors. It runs the same Crestron operating system and can be programmed using Crestron's Simpl Windows or VisionTools Pro-e software, enabling the creation of sophisticated, customized control programs. Network connectivity via Ethernet allows the DIN-AP2 to communicate with other processors, user interfaces, and third-party systems over an IP network, enabling centralized monitoring, remote access, and integration into larger enterprise automation strategies.
Designed for robustness in demanding environments, the DIN-AP2 features a sturdy casing that protects its internal electronics from dust and electromagnetic interference common in electrical panels. Its DIN-rail mounting allows for quick installation and easy serviceability. As a key component in Crestron's building automation solutions, this processor provides a reliable, scalable, and programmable control core that can be discreetly and securely housed in the infrastructure of a building, orchestrating complex automated functions with precision and reliability.
