AL DRIVER 400
- CHANNEL AND LOAD SETTINGS (DMX AND DALI)
When either the DMX or DALI modes are selected, you can determine how the six ports are
grouped and applied to the control addresses using the CHANNEL setting. Together with
the LOAD setting (which determines how the contacts of each port are used: RGB, RGBW, Ai
Dim, etc.), these two key settings determine the total number of control addresses required.
CHANNEL: M00
Combines all of the ports into
a single set of addresses:
CHANNEL: LOAD: Total addresses
04/M00 RGBW
4
addresses
03/M00 RGB
3
addresses
01/M00 Ai Dim
1
address
01/M00 White

01/M00 DW
1
