DMX channel overview channel Function Description Position rough This channel controls the position of the Medium Roll Down, with the speed (DMX channel This rough position works together with the fine position (DMX channel 2). The rough position and the fine position are multiplied in to a 16-bit channel. The rough position is the MSB.
Setting the top and end positions When the Medium Roll Down is ready, the first step is to set the soft-limit top and bottom positions. See channel description for channel 4, 5 and 6 above. When the range has been set once on channel 6 it is saved and does not need to be set again unless a new range is needed.
Figure 1: Illustration of application of the soft-limits. Positioning When the Medium Roll Down has been setup and the top position is set, it is possible to use it for positioning run. The position is set on the DMX channel 1 and 2, which controls the rough-and fine-position. Where 100 % is the top-position and 0 % is the bottom-position.
