9 – SETTING NODO-MASTER TO "ROLLING" MODE

9.0 - INTRODUCTION

"ROLLING" mode can be used in simple installations to drive the system without the needing to have an external DALI or DMX envi-
ronment.
In this functioning mode, it is possible:
- To choose the colours on which to perform the rolling: even if the system is composed by RGB modules, it is possible to activate
only desired colours to belong to the rolling set (e.g. in a RGB system it is possible to exclude GREEN and leave only RED and BLU
to roll)
- To choose rolling speed
- By means of a push-button it is possible to switch on and off the system and to start and stop the rolling.
Under this mode, NODO-MASTER self-generates a command sequence, necessary to switch-on, switch-off and dim all fixtures typo-
logies. Provided that the following "colours" are present along the section and correctly activated by means of S4 dip-switches, the
order used during test is the following:
Direct RGB, in the order red, green, blue
Direct Monochrome (white, red, green, blue, amber)
Indirect RGB, in the order red, green, blue
Indirect Monochrome (white, red, green, blue, amber).
ROLLING mode can be also used in order to test the system, before activating the DALI or DMX environment: if all the modules works
well in rolling mode, the reason to any malfunction should happen after DALI or DMX activation, has to be searched on the DALI or
DMX bus and/or NODOMASTER addressing.

9.1 - CONNECTIONS

Use cables as shown in paragraph 5. Refer to fig. 3a and 3b.
Connect cables from push-button to M3-M5 terminal blocks.
NB: use a normally open push-button to short circuit "+"on M3 and M5 terminal blocks.
Connect feeding cables from power supply to M5 terminal block, respecting the polarity.
Connect the cable toward the fixtures to M6 terminal block, respecting the polarity.
In case of "Master-Slave" layout, connect "–" and "S" on M7 of "Master" NODO-MASTER DMX to "–" and "S" on M2 of "Slave"
NODO-MASTER, respecting the polarity, fig. 3b.

9.2 - DIP-SWITCHES SETTINGS FOR ROLLING MODE

Please refer to fig. 9.
To set the ROLLING mode, locate S1 dip-switches, and set them on each stand alone NODO-MASTER or "Master" NODO-MASTER (do
NOT set S1 on "Slave" NODO-MASTER) as follows:
S1-1: OFF
S1-2: OFF
S1-3: OFF
S1-4: ON
NB: under this mode, only synchronisations between "Master" NODO-MASTER and "Slave" NODO-MASTER are reproduced.
If ROLLING MODE is used to test the system before DALI or DMX installation, synchronisations between different "Master" NODO-
MASTER or different standalone NODO-MASTER that are performed by means of DALI or DMX grouping will NOT be performed
under ROLLING mode.
To set the channels that will belong to the rolling set, locate S4 dip-switches and set dip-switches 1-8 as in following Table 4. When
dip-switch number "N" is set to ON, channel "N" will roll.
NB: Please note that if all dip-switches are set to OFF, a special function mode will be set, see chapter "SETTING NODO-MASTER
TO PUSHDIM MODE".
