6 SEQUENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS (Optional)
In case the client has ordered the option:
One Sequential Diagnostics kit must be installed for each dimmer cabinet in the
installation.
The sequential diagnostics function is similar in function to the diagnostics already used in
the EURODIM 3. The dimmer channels are examined one after the other (sequential) and
the value is reported either to the local Human Interface or a remote program running the
TTD Management Software.
The communication to a single remote reporting pc is done via RDM protocol based on an
Ethernet Network to a Personal Computer with the Windows Operating System running
the TTD RDM Management Software. The Ethernet information is generated by each
EURODIM Twin Tech controller and physically available for each individual controller on
dedicated RJ45 connectors (Two possible per cabinet if double controller options are
used).
The TTD RDM Management Software and the necessary hardware are available as option
for the EURODIM Twin Tech cabinet, which shall be ordered separately installation.
