Need ideas, dimming 72 recessed

[chris kennedy]

Bidding a job with 72 recessed luminaires that need to be dimmed from 2 locations. These are 0-10 units.
Any ideas?

Thanks

A small plc with 0-10 analog outs. Any # of inputs could change the signal.
There has got to be a ready made system, better and more suitable than that though,

chris kennedy:

You can not do it from two analog pots unless the highest or alternatively the lowest was to dominate. Thus, there has to be a stepping type control, or another way to determine from either location which pot was to have control.

ptonsparky's suggestion with a digital to analog converter output is likely a good suggestion, and this will allow as many locations as you want for control, and possibly wireless.

A CLICK setup is less than $500. Four 0-10 analog outs, and numerous digital inputs. 24DC on up to 120v AC. Plus the enclosure. Plus the UL sticker. Plus the...

HMI and programming are extra.

lutron has a bunch of stuff for this,
including piezo operators. you didn't
say if it was commercial or residential.

how much bling does the install require?
the stuff gets pricy fast.

CLICK is a small PLC from Automation Direct. I included a module with four 0-10v analog outputs. The two AOs on the standard base unit are 0-5v or 4-20ma. Unless the project is very low budget I try to include a small HMI as well.
