Control Via Dmx 512; Dmx-Channels - Explo X2 Wave Flamer Manual

4.3 Control via DMX 512

Optionally, the X2 Wave-Flamer can be controlled by DMX 512. 6 DMX channels are needed.

4.3.1 DMX-Channels

The followeing 6 DMX-Channels are needed for the X2 Wave-Flamer:
Channel 1: Angle (Starting adress)
•
Channel 2: Speed (Starting adress +1)
•
Channel 3: Ignition (Starting adress +2)
•
Channel 4: Opening Time (Starting adress +3)
•
Channel 5: Program (Starting adress +4)
•
Channel 6: Mode (Starting adress +5)
•
4.3.1.1 Channel 1: Angle (Starting adress)
The angle is the first channel (=starting adress). It defines to which angle the head of the Flamer will
move to. The angle can be chosen anywhere between -105° to +105° (DMX-value 0 to 255).
Since the DMX-value itself can only be a whole number, some angles must be rounded up.
The calculated DMX-value for an angle of 0° is 127.5 (rounded up 128). Using this value, the following
formula can be used to calculate all other angles ∡ (in degrees). Please always note the prefix of
the angle.:
DMX Value = 127,5 + (∡ • 1,2143)
To calculate a DMX value in percent, the following formula must be used:
% Value = DMX value • (100/255)
Below you can find some examples for the DMX value of an angle.
