MODUS – Instruction for Use – Version 2.0
5.
Setting the DIP SW (DMX mode, Stand-Alone Mode)
5.1.
DMX mode
A 10-position DIP SW is built in into the PLD48 driver. It allows both setting the DMX
address and selection of built-in programs and scenes. For selection of the operation mode
use the switch No. 10 ("mode"). With the switch at OFF the driver is operating in the DMX
mode and at the 1 - 9 positions of switches we set the first channel address. The device will
engage 48 successive DMX channels. The address of the first channel is set with the binary
code. During operation in DMX mode with a proper control signal the DMX OK control
light blinks with a 0.5 HZ frequency. If the signal is not proper, the control light is out. See
below for an example of the DMX address setting.
5.2.
Stand-alone mode
In case the switch No. 10 ("mode") is at ON position the driver recreates the built-in
programs and scenes. In this mode the device does not respond to the DMX control signal.
The tasks of the other switches in this mode are the following:
From 1 - 5 - program selection (one from all 32 built in)
6 selects the kind of transition between program steps – an
infinitely variable transition
or a
step by step transition (X-FADE)
From 7 - 9 selection of the program recreation speed (7 speeds)
While the controller operates in this mode the DMX OK indicator light blinks with a 4HZ
frequency.
