7. MASTER / SLAVE FUNCTION
The PX254 module has a built-in DMX-512 receiver and can be controlled from any desktop or
controller running in this standard. Moreover, it is equipped with a programmable function of
response to no DMX signal (
noS
). With 18 built-in default programs, it is possible to obtain
interesting effects without an external controller. However, in larger installations, several PX254
drivers implementing the same program cannot provide a full reproduction synchronisation.
Therefore, PX254 has a MASTER feature. When it is activated, the module changes from a DMX
receiver into a transmitter of this signal and sends self-realized programs to the other modules
(which are set as SLAVE). With this solution, it is possible to make a precise synchronization even
in very large installations.
To turn on the MASTER feature you must enter the
"

6. DISPLAY FLIP FUNCTION
As the driver should be installed in a small distance from the controlled LEDs, the lack of space
may force the necessity of mounting the device upside-down.
In such case the displayed messages become illegible, that does not have the influence on
device operation, but makes the programming much more difficult.
That is why the PX254 driver has a display flip feature available. It turns the screen 180°. The
keys order is reversed as well.
To activate this both middle buttons (PREVIOUS and NEXT) of the driver have to be pressed in
the same time for about 3s. To deactivate function the procedure is the same.
The figure below shows how flip function works.
