  • Page 13: Master / Slave Function

    7.5 MASTER / SLAVE function The PX184 module has a built-in DMX-512 receiver and it can be controlled from any desktop operating in this standard. Additionally, it comes with a programmable response function to no DMX signal (noS). With 18 built-in factory programmes, it is possible to get effects without an external controller.

    - to turn off the white balance. 7.7 The smoothing function The PX184 device is equipped with a smoothing option. If this option is enabled, it allows for smooth transitions between successive DMX values that are sent to the lamp (changes in lightness and colour) without visible abrupt changes.

  • Page 15: Programming Of Individual Parameters

    8. PROGRAMMING OF INDIVIDUAL PARAMETERS The programming of individual parameters allows for assigning any DMX address to each output channel. The simplest example is to control the lightness of LEDs of the same colour plugged into all output channels of the driver. In this situation, assign the same address (e.g.

    Proceed in a similar way to disable this feature but then select oFF. 11. TEMPERATURE LIMITS AND SENSOR FAILURE PX184 has been equipped with a function that limits the output power depending on the temperature value read using the external sensor mounted in the lamp. This allows for programming a temperature value which, if reached, limits the power or disables the lamp supplied by the driver.

If there are problems with the memory operation, on the PX184 display the Err message appears Err - memory error. In this situation, select the enter button. The device will reload the default configuration and upload it to the memory.

  • Page 19: Rdm Description Of Available Parameters

    13. RDM DESCRIPTION OF AVAILABLE PARAMETERS The PX184 supports the 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.
