6. RDM Note

RDM is an extended version of DMX512-A protocol. It is a remote device management protocol. Traditional DMX512 protocol communication is one-way communication. The protocol is based on RS-485 bus. RS-485 is a time-sharing multi-point, half-duplex protocol. Only one port is allowed to output at the same time. So, when using RDM, we should pay attention to it. The following points:

• To use console or host device that supports RDM host protocol.
• Use bidirectional signal amplifier, traditional one-way signal amplifier is not suitable for RDM protocol, because the RMD protocol needs feedback data, the use of one-way amplifier will block the return of data, resulting in no search fixture;
• All fixture must be set to DMX mode to ensure only one host on the cable.
• A 120 ohm impedance matching resistor must be inserted between terminals 2 and 3 of the terminal plug. When the signal line is longer, reducing the signal reflection will make the differential signal more stable and beneficial to the quality of communication.
• When the fixture appears to accept DMX control, but can not been search by RDM host, first check the signal amplifier, and then check whether the signal line 2, 3 lines have bad contact.
