DMX512 Controller
The figure above shows a simple DMX layout which has used three units at each DMX address. The three
units have different ID addresses which allows the user to collectively control the whole group of units at
that DMX address by setting CH9=0, or to control each unit independently by first selecting the DMX ad-
dress and the by using CH9 to locate the target ID address.
Example
Selecting the DMX value 33 on the light controller:
• By setting channel 9 to "0" you can control the whole group.
• By selecting the corresponding ID address through channel 9 you can control each unit independently.
