Rdm; Rdm Id; Rdm Communication - Martin MAC Quantum Wash User Manual

RDM

The MAC Quantum Wash can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance with
ESTA's American National Standard E1.20-2006: Entertainment Technology RDM Remote Device
Management Over DMX512 Networks.
RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard
for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting existing
non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific fixtures.

RDM ID

Each MAC Quantum Wash has a factory-set RDM UID (unique identification number) that makes it
addressable and identifiable in RDM systems. The number can be found in the control panel
INFORMATION menu under RDM UID.

RDM communication

The MAC Quantum Wash supports the standard RDM PIDs (Parameter IDs) required by ESTA plus a range
of manufacturer-specific PIDs. Sending SUPPORTED_PARAMETERS and PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION
commands from an RDM controller will call up a list of the PIDs supported in the firmware version installed
in the fixture.
