    8. CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION The controller operates in accordance with the loaded configuration which is created and uploaded using the PxDesigner application. The method of creation of a configuration file is described in the manual for PXDesigner_M. As part of the configuration, you can set the parameters for all inputs and outputs, create users and relevant configuration items: AREA/ZONE A physical area (e.g.

If, before the expiry of the duration the "turn off scene" action is triggered, the scene will also be turned off with the drop time.

  • Page 25 STATUS A status is an internal state of the device that allows for a conditional start of selected actions. The status can be switched on and off. The fact whether the selected status is turned on or off determines the execution of another action (e.g. Scene start). GROUP OF ASSOCIATED ITEMS Scenes and programs belonging to the same area can be within one group of associated items.

    9. CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION The controller works in accordance with a preloaded configuration: in response to relevant events it executes the programmed actions that can turn on or off the selected configuration items. Triggering events and starting configuration elements is done in the master controller. Expansion modules only have additional DMX outputs.

  • Page 29: Modbus

    9.2. Modbus The controller supports the Modbus protocol. A PX340/PX345/PX710 controller operates as a server (slave) to which an application / a device operating as a client (master) connects. The master establishes a connection through TCP port 502 (a standard Modbus port) using the current IP address of the controller.
