The RenT* is a zero cross reference and an RS-232 to RS-485 Converter.
It receives instructions from Vixen running on a PC from a serial port via RS-232, and then converts the RS-232 to RS-485 and sends it on to the Renard 64 boards along with the zero cross signal.
We use two of these.

The Renard 64* is a 64 channel controller that receives instructions via RS485 signals from the REN-T.
I have two of these one to use, and 1 as a spare.

The SSR boards* are connected to the Renard 64's via CAT5 cable.
The Renard 64's send 5 Volts DC to the SSR's which in turn act as Solid State Relays that switch the lights on and off.
We have 20 of these - 16 in use 4 as spares.(They are 4 channels each.)

The Renard 24* is a 24 port board, but unlike the Renard 64, it is self contained. (It has all of the SSR's on the board.)
We have 15 of these-11 in use, 4 as spares.
We use 5 of these on the mega tree, 2 on the leaping arches, 1 on the five lower level windows, and 1 on the bushes.
