2.9 RDM (Remote Device Management)

RDM stands for Remote Device Management. This is the colloquial name for the ANSI E1.20
standard in development at ESTA
DMX512 cable. This will occur on the twisted pair connected to pins 2 and 3. This same pair of
wires is used to transmit data from the console to the dimmers or moving lamps.
The large benefit of this approach as opposed to using the spare pins 4 and 5, is that RDM can be
retrofitted to installations wired with single pair cable.
RDM will provide the following benefits:
1. Ability for the console to set the base address of the lamp. There will no longer be a need for
DIP switches.
2. Plug and Play. The console will be able to search all the DMX512 devices and then
automatically patch them.
Fixture Personality: it will be possible for the console to use RDM to download personalities
3.
direct from the moving lamp.
4. RDM devices can send status and fault information back to the console.
