General Summary
The Daktronics variable speed limit signs consist of an aluminum cabinet containing LED
modules. Refer to Figure 2 . The sign controller inside the sign operates the modules.
Operation
The central control software allows the DMS operator to check the status of the signs and
to control all messages.
A module is the building block of the Daktronics sign. By placing modules side by side
and on top of one another, a sign of any size can be designed and built. Individual
modules are easily removed from the sign if required. Figure 3 illustrates how Daktronics
numbers modules on a sign. Figure 4 breaks down the module numbering method.
