The winch runs down with the speed set on the DMX-selectors. This function can be used as a
test-function or in association with on- and off-applying of wire.
E.g. Set the winch to MODE 8 and the DMX address to 100, for a slow movement, or set the
DMX address to 500 for fast movement.
Technical explanation and the DMX-channels
The winch10 uses 7 DMX channels in total.
The start channel is set on the 3 DMX-selectors.
The 7 channels are used in the following way:
DMX channels:
DMX channel 1
Position rough. (Hi of a 16 bit DMX channel).
DMX channel 2
Position fine. (Lo of a 16 bit DMX channel).
DMX channel 3
Max speed.
DMX channel 4
Max travel top.
DMX channel 5
Max travel bottom.
DMX channel 6
Find TOP position, moving UP
DMX channel 7
Moving DOWN
OBS
: as an extra safety under positioning run, it is possible to remove the DMX signal, which
will brake and stop the motor.
DMX channel 1 – Position rough:
The channel controls the position of the winch, with the speed set on the DMX channel 3.
This rough position works together with the fine position (DMX channel 2). The rough
position and the fine position are multiplied in to a 16 bit channel. The rough position is the
MSB.
DMX channel 2 – Position fine:
The channel controls the position of the winch, with the speed set on the DMX channel 3.
This fine position works together with the rough position (DMX channel 1). The fine position
and the rough position are multiplied in to a 16 bit channel. The fine position is the LSB.
DMX channel 3 – Speed:
The channel controls the speed of the winch.
The channel defines the maximum speed. The winch runs with the set max speed, but slows
down as closing in on the wanted position. This channel also works as a main brake, the
motor does not run unless the channel is set above 0%.
The speed-channel can also be used to make soft and slow movements or fast and sudden
movements.
DMX channel 4 – Max travel top:
The channel controls the maximum top travelling height of the winch.
When the winch has
been reset and the top-position thereby has been declared, it is possible, by adjusting this
channel, to change how high the winch may run in proportion to the top-position. So the top
travelling height for the winch is changed. Where 0% declares the
maximal
top travelling
height, which means it runs all the way up to the reset top- position. Where 100% declares
the
minimal
top travelling, which means it is as far from the reset top-position as possible.
