Follow these steps to integrate with a Savant system:
Step 1a. Commission CSI Controllers.
Commission all connected ILC-xx0/IMC-xx0 and/or DMX "Fixtures" as per Converging Systems’ Quick Start Guides or Full Version Installation Guides (see below for links).
MOST IMPORTANTLY, ASSIGN ALL Zone/Group/Node and Short Alias Names before proceeding to next Step.
- ILC-x00 CONTROLLERS--Download the most recent Converging Systems ILC-xxx Quick Start Guides (under Lighting Controllers/Quick Start Guides) here
- IMC-xxx/CVM motor channels--Download the most recent Converging Systems Motor Installation Guides (under Motor Controllers/Installation Guides) here
- DMX fixtures (within the e-Node/dmx)--Download the most recent Converging Systems DMX Quick Start Guides here and Programming Manuals (under Gateways e-Node/xx) here

Step 1b.Background On Converging Systems' Profiles
See Table below for necessary profiles
| Converging Systems Components | Savant Dealer Portal | Latest Converging Systems Profiles |
|---|---|---|
| e-Node gateway (COMM driver) | WIP currently | CSI Download Link |
| ILC-xxx lighting controllers (or DMX channels) (Load driver) | WIP currently | CSI Download Link |
| IMC-xxx motor controllers (Load driver) | WIP currently | CSI Download Link |
Profile Detail-Communication I/O device
| I/O Type | Detail |
|---|---|
| IP connection | A single Converging Systems e-Node profile supports up to 254 connected CS-BUS Motor and/or Lighting loads through Ethernet (IP) |
| IBT-100 (RS-232c) connection | The same profile also supports Serial communication for up to 254 CS-BUS connected Motor and/or Lighting loads |
Profile Detail-Load Devices
| Controller Type | Model Information |
|---|---|
| LED Lighting Controllers (ILC-xxx) | Monochrome, RGB, RGBW constant current and constant voltage CS-BUS controllers are supported and can be programmed within the RacePoint Blueprint Data Table/Lighting Tab |
| Motor Controllers (IMC-xxx/CVM) | Single, triple and other derivative CS-Bus controllers are supported and can be programmed within the RacePoint BluePrint Data Tables/Shades tab |
Note: If you are supporting concurrent LED and Motor operations (within the same e-Node), load two separate drivers and utilize (i) one Telnet Port/socket on the e-Node for Lighting Devices and (ii) another Telnet Port/socket on the e-Node for the Motor Devices (two different sets of Usernames and Passwords).
