Addressing via DMX-RDM
RDM (Remote Device Management) is a new, open and bi-directional protocol standard for DMX-controlled
devices. The permanently transmitted DMX data flow briefly pauses (several milliseconds), and an RDM data
package (message) is sent directly to a subscriber. The subscriber evaluates the information in the data pac-
kage and sends an answer (semi-duplex) on the same line. Targeted polling to a subscriber via its UID (Uni-
que ID) prevents several subscribers from answering simultaneously.
The protocol makes it possible to receive status information about a unit or to change configurations on a unit.
Changing the configuration means, e.g. changing the DMX address. The prerequisite for this function is a
RDM-compatible controller. Read the corresponding operating instructions
Individual or shared control of the unit outputs is possible. Different operating modes are possible. The opera-
ting mode can only be configured by means of the Personality ID via RDM.
