Digital Inputs (IN1-IN16)
The digital inputs are designed as LONG DISTANCE inputs which allow using longer
supply pipes to the switching elements.
The input wiring occurs with a switch or a button, connect to GND, as shown in the
following outline:
For the LONG DISTANCE inputs, we recommend cable lengths not exceeding
25m. Depending on the environment and cable type, longer distances may be
possible.
The cable cross section should not be smaller than 0.5mm².

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 11
Configuration of the Inputs
The inputs are configured via the web interface. Therefore, the both sites for
configuration Input 1-8 and Input 9-16 are available.
For the Input the Mode is selected separately.
The input field Parameter specifies which function is to execute, e.g. which DMX
channel is to set to which DMX value. On the following pages the functions are
described.
The processing of the input states takes place one after the other, from input 1
to input 24. If a DMX channel is used with several inputs, it must be ensured by
the selection of the mode and the parameter specification that the DMX value is
not overwritten.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 12
In the Parameter input field, the DMX channel and the DMX value that the
corresponding input is to control are specified.
The DMX channel specification is to occur as decimal value from 1 to 512.
If several DMX channels are controlled via one input, the individual DMX channels
must be entered separately by a semicolon or comma.
Example: „1“ one single DMX channel
„1;4;7“ several DMX channel
Furthermore, in the mode Switch, Button and Toggle Button a value to be outputted
can be specified. In this case a =VALUE must be added to the DMX channel
specification, the specified value must lie in the range 0 to 255.
If no value is specified, 255 (100%) is used.
Example: „1=222“ set a single DMX channel to value 222
„1;4;7=222“ set several DMX channels to value 222
Several DMX channels can be set to different values in one parameter by separating
the individual entries with a semicolon.
Example: „1=16;5=32;12=64“ DMX channel 1, 5 and 12 are set to value
16, 32 and 64
„1;5;12=64“ DMX channel 1, 5 and 12 are set all to value 64
Serial DMX channels can be specified in short form by defining the DMX start
channel and specifying the individual DMX values with a / in a row.
Example: „1=16/32/64“ DMX channel 1, 2 and 3 are set to the values
16, 32 and 64.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 13
The following modes can be selected for each digital input:
Switch
The mode Switch sets the DMX channel(s) to the specified value as long as the input
is controlled (operated).
If the input is not activated (not operated), the value 0 (0% / OFF) is set.
Button
The mode Button sets the DMX channel(s) to the specified value when the input is
controlled (actuated).
Toggle-Button
The mode Toggle-Button toggles the DMX channel(s) between the specified value
and 0 (0% / OFF) for each control (operation).
Dimmer UP
The mode Dimmer UP dims up the DMX channel(s) as long as the input is controlled
(operated). The dimming process finishes when the value 255 (100%) is reached.
Dimmer DOWN
The mode Dimmer DOWN dims down the DMX channel(s) as long as the input is
controlled (operated). The dimming process finishes when the value 0 (0%) is
reached.
Dimmer UP/DOWN
The mode Dimmer UP/DOWN dims the DMX channel(s) up or down as long as the
input is controlled (operated). The dimming process finishes when the value 255
(100%) is reached during dimming up / the value 0 (0%) during dimming down. The
dimming direction is changed when the input is not activated (released).
Button ON + Dimmer UP
The mode Button ON + Dimmer UP dims up the DMX channel(s) as long as the input
is controlled (operated) for a longer time. The dimming process is finished when the
value 255 (100%) is reached.
A short activation (operation) switches the DMX value on.
Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN
The mode Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN dims down the DMX channel(s) as long as
the input is controlled (operated) for a longer time. The dimming process is finished
when the value 0 (0%) is reached.
A short activation (operation) switches the DMX value off.
Button ON/OFF + Dimmer UP/DOWN
The mode Button ON/OFF + Dimmer UP/DOWN dims the DMX channel(s) up or
down as long as the input is controlled (operated) for a longer time. The dimming
process is finished when the value, 255 (100%) with dimming up / the value 0 (0%)
with dimming down, is reached. The dimming direction is changed when the input is
not controlled (released).
A short activation (operation) switches the DMX value on / off.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 14
Use digital inputs as binary inputs
For the digital inputs there are the possibilities to build one output value away several
inputs.
In this case the input must be configured as Switch.
The specification for the channels needs than an +=VALUE.
So, for the specified channels the value will be added.
A possible configuration for an 8Bit-binary input is as follows:
Inputs: IN1 up to IN8
Outputs: DMX channel 1
Configuration: INPUT1: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=1
INPUT2: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=2
INPUT3: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=4
INPUT4: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=8
INPUT5: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=16
INPUT6: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=32
INPUT7: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=64
INPUT8: Mode: Switch
Parameter: 1+=128

Analog / Digital Inputs (IN17-IN24)
The analog/digital inputs are adaptable for using as LONG DISTANCE digital inputs
or analog inputs.
The inputs will be configured via the web-interface.
The selection, if the inputs should be used analog or digital, occurs in on the site
MAIN. On the configuration site Input 17-24 the function of the single channels will
be determined.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 16
The wiring can occur in several ways
Connection with external analog signal (0-10V / 0-5V / 1-10V)
Connection with potentiometer
(Modi must be 0-5V)

Fit the output values of the analog inputs
For the analog inputs it is possible to adjust the assignment of the input value to the
output value.
In this case, the input must be configured as analog 0-10V and the assignment must
be adding in the parameter input.
To adjust the assignment, a parameter input according to the following structure is
necessary:
CH=[INL-INH]:[OUTL-OUTH]
CH DMX channel
INL Input voltage LOW in V 0V up to 10V in 0.1V steps
INH Input voltage HIGH in V 0V up to 10V in 0.1V steps
OUTL Output value LOW 0 up to 255
OUTHOutput value HIGH 0 up to 255

Send Wake On Lan (WoL)
The ArtNet-DMX Mux24 can send a Wake On Lan (WoL) message via Ethernet
when an input is activated (selected).
For this the mode Button must be selected and as parameter „WoL(xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-
xx)” specified.
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx is to be replaced by the MAC ID of the target device.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 20
Timer
The ArtNet-DMX Mux24 offers 4 timer. Each of these have a time for switch-on and
a time for switch-off as well as a selection for the weekdays on which the timer
should be active.
The channel on which the timer should work will be specified as decimal value from 1
up to 512. If several channels should be controlled via the timer, so the single values
must be entered separately with a comma.
For example a single channel with „100“ or several channels with „100,110,120“.
Furthermore, it is possible to specify to be outputted. In this case the channel
specifications need an =VALUE, e.g. “100=222” to set channel 100 to 222.
If no value is specified, 255 (100%) is outputted, the specified value must be in the
range 0 to 255.
With Save the settings will be stored and the current time will be adopted in the
ArtNet-DMX Mux24, from the device on which the website was called.
