IP address. Safety conditions PX359 is a device powered with safe voltage 12 – 24V DC; however, during its installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed: 1. The device may only be connected to 12 – 24V DC with current- carrying capacity compatible with technical data.
Page 4
6. The PX359 should be strictly protected against contact with water and other liquids. 7. All sudden shocks, particularly dropping, should be avoided. 8. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%. 9. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than +2°C or higher than +40°C.

4.3 DMX address switch – DIP Switch PX359 allows to set the DMX address using the DIP Switch in binary code. It can be edited via the website or RDM protocol. The following page shows an example of DMX address settings.

DMX ADDRESS position ON position OFF DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS DMX ADDRESS NOTE! If the value 0 is set on the DIP Switch, the device takes the DMX address stored in the memory.
The computer and the device must be on the same subnet. Default IP address in PX359: 192.168.0.50 If several PX359 devices are connected to one network, their IP addresses should be changed individually to avoid network conflict. NOTE! PX359 does not support DHCP.

The introduced changes require a device restart. When saving the settings, a window with a message warning that the changes have been made will be displayed. Here you can also read the MAC address of the device and the link bandwidth.
NOTE! The Base address parameter has a lower priority than the value on the DIP Switch, therefore in order for the device to accept this parameter as the current DMX address, make sure that the address on the DIP Switch is set to 5.1.4 DMX input preview This tab shows the values of the received DMX signal on selected channels.
NOTE! The parameters must match the settings on the receiving device. 5.1.6 Commands The Commands tab lists all user-defined commands. The device can define up to 128 commands. The editor of commands : • Name – a string of characters that allows the user to easily identify the command.
Page 16
Activation by DMX signal: Offset – the number of the DMX channel in relation to the current • address of the device, on which the appropriate level will trigger the command. Each command must have its unique offset – it is not possible to define more than one command with the same offset.
Page 17
HEX EDITOR The HEX editor allows to save / edit the command in the hexadecimal format. Each bite of the command is saved with two hexadecimal characters – owing to which it is possible to define the binary command, consisting of any bites.
Page 18
ASCII EDITOR The ASCII allows to save / edit the commands in the form of printable characters ASCII. Due to this fact it is more clear in case of defining commands consisting of only printable bites. Moreover, it is possible to write any byte by giving it in hexadecimal format in curly braces {}.
The editor signals an error because the value given in the brackets is interpreted as a bite written hexadecimal and not decimal 5.1.7 Administration The following options are available in the Administration tab: Export all settings – export all settings of the device to a file, •...

RDM – available parameters The PX359 supports the DMX – RDM protocol. DMX protocol allows only of a one-way data transmission, while its extension the RDM protocol can transmit information in two directions. This makes possible to simultaneously send and receive information, and hence the possibility of monitoring activities of the compatible devices.
