2 Display and Control Overview
This section describes generic power and signal paths for digital billboards. Refer to
display-specic signal and riser drawings for component locations on your display.
Display Control System Flow Overview
Figure 8 shows the location of
the ISP enclosure, DMP-8065, and
the SmartLink
TM
power control
device. The control system bay or
components may vary slightly by
display. Refer to project-specic
drawings for display control
location, signal path, and power
path.
Display Power
Overview
The power system for the 5000
series is signicantly different
than any previous series of
Daktronics digital billboards. Each
65 Watt power supply powers
two modules. In most cases, the
module power path follows the
signal path. Figure 9 shows a basic
overview of the power system
in an individual display section.
Power to the display section enters
into the termination panel and is
redistributed to the power supplies.
Refer to the layout drawing for
display-specic power distribution.
Display Signal
Overview
This section provides generic signal
path illustrations for even tall sections, Figure 10, and odd tall sections, Figure 11.
Signal is sent from the DMP-8065 and is sent to the ProLink Router (PLR) in the display
section. The PLR then sends the signal to the rst module in the section. From that module,
the signal is then sent to the other modules in the section. The PLR not only sends signal
to the rst module in the chain but also receives signal from the last module in the chain
and creates a redundant signal path.
