A description of each byte in DyNet protocol is the following:

Byte 0: 1C – hexadecimal Logical Message (fixed value)
Byte 1: 01 – Area
Byte 2: 00 – Channel level
Byte 3: 80 – Channel
Byte 4: ff – Channel Offset
Byte 5: 00 – Fade Rate
Byte 6: FF (fixed value)
Byte 7: 1C Checksum
Area – (0 to 255), as set on the Arcpower to give a unique address for each Arcpower unit (i.e. DMX base address)
Channel Level – (0 to 255), level – 01=100%, FF=0%
Channel – (80 to 83), 80= channel 1, 81= channel 2, 82= channel 3, 83= channel 4, (see Channel Offset if more than 4 channels)
Channel Offset – (0-255), default (FF)- channel offset in blocks of 4: (FF = CH 1-4, 00 = CH 5-8,
01 = CH 9-12, etc up to 3E = CH 253-256 )
Fade Rate – (0-255), fade rate with 1 second resolution (0= 0 seconds, 255= 255 seconds)
Checksum – (0-255), checksum Byte – used to ensure the integrity of the packet.
Negative two’s compliment of the preceding 7 bytes.

Example 1:
0x1C,0x10,0x00,0x80,0xff,0x05,0xff,0x52
This would control channel 1 (i.e. Red) of Arc power unit, address 16 to a Level of 100% with a fade of 5 seconds.
Example 2:
0x1C,0x05,0xCC,0x82,0xff,0x0A,0xff,0x52
This would control channel 3 (i.e. Blue) of Arc power unit, address 5 to a level of 20% with a fade of 10 seconds.
