7 – SETTING NODO-MASTER TO "DMX" MODE
7-1 - CONNECTIONS
Use cables as shown in paragraph 5. Refer to fig. 3a and 3b.
Connect cables from DMX bus to M4 terminal block, respecting the polarity. Use one of the two ways shown in fig. 5.
Connect feeding cables from power supply to M5 terminal block, respecting the polarity.
Connect the cable toward the fixtures to M6 terminal block, respecting the polarity.
In case of "Master-Slave" layout, connect "–" and "S" on M7 of "Master" NODO-MASTER DMX to "–" and "S" on M2 of "Slave"
NODO-MASTER, respecting the polarity, fig. 3b.
7.2 - DIP-SWITCHES SETTINGS FOR DMX MODE
Please refer to fig. 7.
To set the bus type, locate S1 dip-switches. To set DMX bus:
S1-1: ON
S1-2: OFF
S1-3: OFF
S1-4: OFF
To set the reserved addresses number on the bus, locate S2 dip-switches:
-
If on the section connected to the NODO-MASTER under setting are present only RGB direct fixtures, NODO-MASTER DMX
occupies 3 addresses. Set S2 dip-switches as below:
S2-1: ON
S2-2: OFF
S2-3: OFF
S2-4: OFF.
-
If on the section connected to the NODO-MASTER under setting are present only monochrome (only white, only red, only green,
only blue, only amber) direct fixtures, NODO-MASTER DMX occupies 1 address. Set S2 dip-switches as below:
S2-1: OFF
S2-2: ON
S2-3: OFF
S2-4: OFF.
-
If on the section connected to the NODO-MASTER under setting are present RGB and/or monochrome and/or different typology
(direct and indirect) fixtures, set S2 dip-switches as per actual situation, NODO-MASTER DMX occupies N addresses as per
attached table n. 2 (where ON = fixtures are present, OFF = fixtures are NOT present).
To activate the internal DMX terminating resistance, locate S3 dip-switches.
internally activated on a NODO-MASTER DMX by setting S3-1 to ON.
To set DMX address, locate S4 dip-switches.
On a DMX bus, each device must have a unique address ranging between 1 and 511.
Following the addresses number occupied by a NODO-MASTER DMX (see S2 dip-switch value on Table n. 2), choose a free address
for each NODO-MASTER DMX, and assign to it using S4 dip-switches.
Switches from S4-1 to S4-9 are used to select the DMX starting address occupied by NODO-MASTER DMX. See following Table n. 3,
using binary coding, 0 = OFF, 1 = ON.
