3CABINET CONFIGURATION
The upper part of the Twin Tech cabinet may be equipped with:
−Two Controller units,
−or a Controller unit and a backup power supply module.
The Controller units, control all of the circuits (128 max.) constituting the modules available in the cabinet
(32 max.), according to the configuration recorded by the Unit software (patch) and the channel values
present on the DMX A, DMX B and ARTNET/sACN/RDM inputs (ETHERNET connection).
3.1 SYNCHRONIZATION
The human interface is synchronized continuously between two controllers (if present).
If two controllers are present, data from a controller (the one inserted into the slot from the top), with the
exception of the page "Diagnosis of the cabinet" or information from the selected controller using the tabs
"CTRL1" and "CTRL2".
If the controller 1 is a not functional, timing continues with the controller 2.
If the cabinet has only one controller all the information obtained from this controller
Note: Only the controller in slot from the top is able to detect modules in the cabinet (see Chapter Power
Configuration) and to report the status of sinewave and thyristor modules with full diagnostic
option (see section "Module Measuring" and "Diagnostic Modules")
1

EURODIM TWIN TECH
Page 14 sur 92
If one controller is functional and inserted into the slot at the bottom, the cabinet will work but the
human interface will not be able to present the modules or diagnostic information modules
3.2 MODULE CONTROL
The selector allows the Controller unit in service to be chosen. It may be set to position 1, A/R or 2.
When a controller is selected (1 or 2), the DMX A, DMX B, ARTNET and sACN signals present at this
controller’s input are used.
The software configuration is HTP (Highest Take Precedence) by default. It is the highest value of the
DMX A, DMX B, ARTNET and sACN inputs (three available universes) and cue played and allocated to a
circuit that is taken into account in order to give the output dimming level.
When the selector is set to A/R, the circuits of each module are controlled according to the following rule:
the highest value amongst the DMX A, DMX B, ARTNET and sACN inputs of the two controllers is taken into
account when controlling this circuit.
Example: Control using DMX A and DMX B inputs
Controller 1
DMX A circuit 1=100%
DMX B circuit 2= 0%
Controller 2
DMX A circuit 1=90%
DMX B circuit 2=100%
Circuit 1=100%
Circuit 2= 100%

EURODIM TWIN TECH
Page 15 sur 92
Notes: The PCB3031 board also enables:
−the DMX A inputs to be connected between controllers (SW1, selectors 5 and 6 set to ON)
−the DMX B inputs to be connected between controllers (SW1, selectors 7 and 8 set to ON)
PCB 3031 board
3.3 CABINET VENTILATION
The cabinet is ventilated by three fans arranged at the top of the cabinet, which extract hot air from the
cabinet. These fans can operate at two different extraction speeds (1 and 2).
The fans start on speed 1 (normal air extraction) if one of the circuits is controlled at above 50% intensity.
Below 50%, all the fans are idle.
Speed 2 is engaged (high air extraction) when a sinewave module and/or a module fitted with four RCBO
(MCB + RCD) is present in the cabinet and it is controlled. The speed 2 is also engaged if the fans run in
speed 1 and the temperature is too much high. The speed is held up to that temperature is again
acceptable*.
When the conditions described above are no longer met, the fans continue to operate for a further five
minutes at speed 1 before stopping.
3.4 INITIAL USER CONFIGURATION
The identification of the modules present in the cabinet is controlled by the Controller 1.
This verification is automatic. A warning message signals any identification fault or error. See Power
Configuration menu in the event of an alarm.

EURODIM TWIN TECH
Page 16 sur 92
The user must then:
−Define or validate the control of each module’s circuits by allocating the DMX channels. See Patch,
ARTNET/sACN Patch and ARTNET/sACN Configuration menus.
−Define the laws or mode and multiplying factor applicable on each of the circuits constituting a
module with respect to the loads that are wired at each circuit’s output. These laws enable each of
the loads to be controlled correctly and risk-free (See Laws/Mult.Fact
1
. menu).
−Define the type of modules to be used in order to dim the light by accepting the list of modules
identified by the controller (see power configuration menu)
3.5 DESCRIPTION OF THE LAWS AND MODES:
The following laws are pre-recorded and available in the "Laws/Mult.Fact." menu: Linear, V120, Fluo,
Preheat, Square, Tv, BBC-TV, ON/OFF, TV2, VRT, as well as six user defined laws enabling free configuration
by the user.
The following modes are pre-recorded and available in the “Laws/Mult.Fact.” menu: DIM (Use of Dimmer
laws), SWITCH and BYPASS.
Important notes:
−The user defined laws (1 to 6) are configured by default in order to apply the Linear law.
−The six user laws are only editable via the optional RDM Dimmer manager software.
−ON/OFF law and SWITCH mode: presented in the form of a hysteresis, with a transition from 0 to 255
at 15% and transition from 255 to 0 at 12% (see switch curve).
−
3.5.1 Applications of Laws on Specific Modules
3.5.1.1 Fluo Module (TTD/F*)
The first two outputs are used for the dimmer. The law of one’s choice is applied here.
The last two outputs are used for the preheat: the switch mode shall be used.
3.5.1.2 Module DimSwitch with Dual filtering (TDD/HD*)
When the user chooses the SWITCH or BYPASS mode, the circuit is automatically configured with no
filtering.
1
Mult Fact. = Multiplication Factor or Reduction of the maximum possible output level of a dimmer circuit.

EURODIM TWIN TECH
Page 17 sur 92
For all other laws, the circuit uses a filtering characterised by a 400 µS rise time.
The rise time is 400 µS by default.
Law curve giving the relationship between the DMX input (0 to 255) of the function law and the output
after application of the law in the same units.
