Hello everyone I'm after knowledge and help from the community.
I have 4 dsuny led panels and want to control them using the 0-10v control from a profilux 4.
I asked the maker for some technical details and after 4 months I finally got a reply as follows:
control signal is PWM and positive, it can be controller by 0-6V.
My question is what would I need to convert the 0-10v from the P4 to the pwm 0-6v to control the leds ?
Thank you in advance for any help
Regards
Anthony
You need a LEDControl4 V2 to convert from 0-10V to PWM

Its as easy as that Pit ?
Basically, yes. There is usually a problem with the connection of the lamps, because you probably have to remove the plug. Unfortunately, the assignment of the individual cables is not known, so that it would have to be measured. The manufacturer may be able to help. Usually there are some cables, 2 current and 1x PWM- and for each colour a DIM+.

Well i took it apart and this is what i found.
I have 3 pics.
The first one is inside the controller. The second is the light on the controller side and the 3rd is the light on the daisy chain side.
In the controller there is a 34vdc from the light i
1R +34vdc
GND = Ground (lol)
2B=channel 1 0-4vdc (0-100%)
3G=channel 2 0-4vdc (0-100%)
4Y=channel 3 0-4vdc (0-100%)
5W=channel 4 0-4vdc (0-100%)
6F = NO IDEA !!! its 2 wires into 1 on both ends but carries no voltage?
Will the light controller run this or will I need something else ?
Many thanks
Anthony

I understand, your lamp has four colors, blue, yellow. green and white, no red? If so, you can try the following.
Desolder the 2B, 3G, 4Y, 5W cables from the controller.
Connect the cables with LEDControl4V2
2B->Pin5
3G->Pin4
4Y-> Pin3
5W->Pin2
GND (keep connections to the controller) ->Pin6 (I'm not sure, just try if the previous one doesn't work alone)
If you connect it this way, you will need your existing Conroller to power the lamps.
Since I don't know the controller and the lamp, there is no guarantee that it will work.
Thanks again.
Each individual unit has its own (the brick says 38vdc) on it but it runs at 34vdc.
If you actually take the controller off the lights stay on at the last setting so I think the 34v + in the controller is just a spur to power the controller so won't need this......we shall see lol
The channels are as follows so I'll double check which one is which .Attachment 9645
Here we go this is what I plan on doing !!!
Desolder the channels off the control unit completely and sconnect them to the pins as you described.
I'm assuming ???? 6Y is the pwm negative so I'm connecting that to pin 6.
The dc input voltage on the illumination control will be 5vdc so I'll attach pins 1 to 2,3,4,5 with pull up resistors !!!
If you hear a bang and a big puff of smoke don't worry its not North Korea its my leds going pop lol
The kind people at dsuny sent me the pin out as follows
1R =34vdc + to power controller ?-- yes, ( input). the power is from the light panel.
GND = GROUND
2B = CHANNEL 1. 0-4VDC
-- (out put). this is channel 1. should be 6V. may you sure it is 100% setting?
3G = CHANNEL 2. 0-4VDC
-- (out put). this is channel 2. should be 6V. may you sure it is 100% setting?
4Y = CHANNEL 3. 0-4VDC
-- (out put). this is channel 3. should be 6V. may you sure it is 100% setting?
5W = CHANNEL 4 0-4VDC
-- (out put). this is channel 4. should be 6V. may you sure it is 100% setting?
6F = I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS CHANNEL IS ????
--(out put). PWM signal too. this is for Fan signal. (0-6V) 0V is on. 6V is off.
the reason of 2 wires, is because fan is too important and we are worry there is cord damage in case.
Please seems you only need GND, 2B,3G,4Y,5W, 6F. if the profilux has it own power input.

Ok, I just did this tonight and it works great! Seeing this is one of the only threads I could find about this on any forum whatsoever I figured I'd comment.
I used 2 x LEDControl4 Passive's I had laying around and wired up the lights so the GND pin was wired to Pin 1 on the LED Control4 Passive, and the PWM positive pins went to Pins 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the LED Control 4 Passive(s). These lights appear to have a pull up resistor internally as I did not have to provide one.
I wired up the White, and the Combo White/Blue/Red Channels to Channel 1+2 of one of the LEDControl4's, and connected it to L1L2 on my Expansion Box and verified lightning flashes work too. The other 2 channels are on another set of L Ports in my expansion box as I don't need lightning on those ones.
