Rdm Functions - Elumen8 ELUM085 User Manual

RDM functions and remote setup:
RDM means "Remote Device Management". The Tri Pixel Panel 25 works with a brief set of RDM
functions that means it can setup a bidirectional communication with an RDM compatible DMX
controller. See below for these functions:
- The DMX controller will send out a "discovery command", the RDM unit(s) respond and send their
unique unit ID.
- The DMX controller asks each RDM unit for basic data so it knows which unit(s) are connected.
The Elumen8 Tri Pixel Panel 25 will show:
- Unit name: Tri Pixel Panel 25
- Manufacturer: Elumen8
- Category: LED Dimmer
- Firmware: XXXX (version of the software of the unit)
- DMX address: XXX (current DMX start address of the unit)
- DMX footprint: XX (current number of DMX channels used by the unit)
- Personality: XX (current working DMX mode/personality of the unit)
The DMX controller can send certain commands to each to each RDM unit which allows remote setup
of the units.
The following functions can be managed remotely:
- DMX start address: The DMX start addres can be set remotely from 001 to 512
- DMX personality: Set the DMX personality/mode remotely.
The two above functions make it possible to prepare a complete DMX patch of all units on the
DMX controller and sends this data to all of the units at once.
