- Page 18 Configuring the Flex for DMX/COM Operating Mode The Flex can work in one of the two modes: (1) DMX or (2) COM API using RS- 485 link. The selection and configuration between these two modes is done via a HyperTerminal. In order to configure the desired working mode, execute the following steps: Connect AC mains to the LINE, NEUTRAL and GROUND terminals respectively.
- Page 19 Configure the Flex controller according to the description below: Command Syntax Command Description Examples Name Sets the DMX base A<decimal, 3 Set DMX ID address designated A001 A009 digits> to the controller. Returns the DMX Get DMX ID base address of the 001 009 controller.
- Page 20 DMX-512 Working with the DMX Interface The Flex controller has 1 channel output. Each data is composed of an 8-bit word that refers the status of the Flex controller output. DMX protocol allowing to chain a total of 512 Flex controllers to reside in one DMX512 link (Universe).
- Page 21 When having more than one Flex controller connected to the same DMX link, addressing must be done in such a way to avoid overlapping of the channels in the controllers: The following table shows an example for a DMX link with 4 Flex controllers: DMX ID Flex Controller Data Values...
- Page 22 The following values should be sent to the specific DMX address ID, in order to control the On-Off: • Turns Off (Opaque): (Bin): 00000000 = (Hex): 0x00 • Turns On (Transparent): (Bin): 00000001 = (Hex): 0x01 Dimmer: • Stops the dimming output level at the moment you sent the command: (Bin): 00000000 = (Hex): 0x00 •...
- Page 23 Configuring the Flex for COM Operating Mode In COM mode, only a single controller can be connected to the link, thus this is a point to point connection and not a daisy chain like the DMX protocol. When used in COM mode, the Flex can be accessed from a PC with a simple API using a RS-485 link.
- Page 24 A simple command is defined to control of the output channel value: H <channel status> For example: On-Off: • H0 - Turns Off (Opaque): the output channel • H1 - Turns On (Transparent): the output channel Dimmer: • H0 - Stops the dimming output level at the moment you sent the command •...
