Configuring Panel For Dmx Control - Leviton DMX Serie Guia De Instalacion

Configuring Panel for DMX Control
DMX is an ANSI standard control protocol originally birthed from the entertainment
industry. DMX is still used in the entertainment industry, but also in many architectural
applications.
The settings for DMX are described in this chapter.

System Setup – DMX-512
DMX512 SETUP M: DISABLED (NOTE: For nearly all applications, DMX
model should be set to forced)
Operational Mode
DMX has several operational modes which define how DMX controls the
relay cabinet. The available operational modes are as follows:
• Disabled - The cabinet can be programmed to not listen to DMX
commands. This is useful when you do not have any DMX devices
hooked up to the system.
• PRI ON - REL OFF - DMX operates in last action mode for DMX channels
at the same priority level as DMX when levels are greater than 0, and
relinquishes control to other channels when the value=0 (last action).
• PRI OFF-REL ON - Relinquishes control to other priority levels when
the DMX channel level is greater than 0, and operates in last action
mode at the priority level of DMX to turn the relays off when the DMX
channel level=0.
• Forced - Means that DMX will always have control over other control
sources of the same priority.
DMX512 SETUP START ADDR: 1
DMX Start Address
When DMX is used to control relays in the cabinet, each relay requires the
assignment of a DMX channel, or none, whichever is appropriate. This
setting quickly sets and sequentially renumbers all relays in the cabinet,
starting at the given start channel. Valid values for DMX channels are 1-512.
