DMX4ALL DMX Servo Control 2 RDM Interface Pixel LED Controller User Manual
For your own safety, please read
this user manual and warnings carefully before installation.
Description
The DMX-Servo-Control 2 is designed for controlling of two servos via DMX.
Two Servos
The DMX Servo Control 2 has two servo ports. Each can be controlled via one
DMX channel.
Servos with 5V up to 12V DC can be used
The supply voltage of the DMX-Servo-Control 2 is between 5V and 12V. Servos
with a supply voltage within this range can be connected directly.
Adjustable Servo control signal
The controlling occurs via an adjustable pulse width.
Compact Design
The design and the compact construction allows an installation of this small
assembly in areas that do not offer much space.
LED-Display
The integrated LED is a multifunctional display for showing the current device
status.
DMX Addressing
The DMX addressing is settable via a 10-position DIP switch.
RDM Support
The DMX Servo Control 2 allows configuration via RDM over DMX

ATTENTION :
This DMX-Servo-Control 2 is NOT ADMITTED for applications whom has safety-
relevant requirements or in which dangerous situations can occur !
LED-Display
The integrated LED is a multifunction display.
During to the normal operation mode the LED lights permanently. In this case the device is working.
Furthermore, the LED shows the current status. In this case the LED lights up in short pitches and then is missing for longer time.
The number of the flashing lights is equal to the event number:
| Status- Number | Error | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No DMX | There is no DMX-Address |
| 2 | Addressing error | Please check, if a valid DMX-Start Address is adjusted |
via the DIP-Switches
4| Configurationstored| The adjusted configuration is stored
DMX-Addressing
The Start Address is adjustable via DIP-Switches.
Switch 1 has the valency 20 (=1), switch 2 the valency 21 (=2) and so on up to switch9 with the valency 28 (=256).
The sum of the switches showing ON is equal to the start address.
The DMX start address can be also adjusted via the RDM parameter DMX_START
ADDRESS. For RDM operation all switches must be set to OFF !

Servo control signal
The signal which is send to the
Servo consists of a High-Impulse and a Low one. The pulse duration is
important for the Servo.
Normally this impulse is between 1ms and 2ms, which is also the standard
setting for the DMX-Servo-Control 2. These are the end positions of the Servos
where it is not limited mechanically. A pulse length of 1.5ms would be the
Servo middle position.
Adjust Servo control signal
In according to the used Servo it can be advantageous to adapt the impulse- times. The minimum time for the left position can be set within the range 0,1-2,5ms. The maximum time for the right position must be bigger than the minimum time and can be maximum 2,54ms.
Please proceed as following for the settings:
- Turn on the DMX-Servo-Control
- Set DIP-Switch 9 and 10 on OFF
- Set DIP-Switch 10 on ON
- Set via the DIP-Switched 1-8 the Minimum time
- Set DIP-Switch 9 on ON
- Set via the DIP-Switched 1-8 the Maximum time
- Set DIP-Switch 10 on OFF
- The LED lights up 4x as confirmation that the settings are stored
- Set via DIP-Switches 1-9 the DMX-Starting address
The time-setting takes place with the DMX-Addressing via the DIP-Switches in
10µs steps. Thereby the set value with 0,01ms is multiplied, so for example a
value of 100 results in a value of 1ms.
The RDM parameters LEFT_ADJUST
and RIGHT_ADJUST can also be used to set the pulse time.
RDM
(from Hardware V2.1)
RDM is the short form for R emote D evice M anagement.
As soon as the device is within the system, device-dependent settings occur remotely via RDM command due to the uniquely assigned UID. A direct access to the device is not necessary.
If the DMX start address is set
via RDM, all address switches at the DMXServo-Control 2 must be set to OFF ! A
DMX start address set by the addressswitches is always prior !
This device supports the following RDM commands:

Turn on the device (Connect power supply !)
-
Now, the LED flashes 20x within ca. 3 seconds
While the LED is flashing, set switch 10 to OFF -
The factory reset is now performed
Now, the LED flashes with event number 4 -
Turn off the device (Disconnect power and USB supply !)
-
The device can now be used.
If another factory reset is
necessary, this procedure can be repeated.
