  • Page 4: Description

    Description Driver LED C.C. 3 x 700mA with built-in DMX512 signal receiver is designed to control LEDs. The built-in DMX receiver allows for activating 3 channels (R, G, B) by using directly the DMX protocol. The device has been placed inside metal housing. A wide range of supply voltage and a high level of current-carrying capacity enabled activating large quantities of LEDs.

  • Page 30: Dmx Signal Connecting

    DMX signal connecting PX746 have to be connected to DMX line in serial mode, with no branches on DMX control cable. That means that DMX line, from the signal source, must be connected to DMX IN pins of PX746 and later, directly from DMX OUT pins to the next device in DMX chain.
  • Page 31: Rdm - Available Parameters

    RDM – available parameters The PX746 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.
