Description
The ArtNet-DMX Mux16 has 16 digital inputs outputted via ArtNet and DMX.
16 Long Distance Inputs
16 digital inputs are available for the connection of buttons or switches. The inputs
are designed as Long Distance Inputs, so the switching elements can also be
mounted at a greater distance.
Individually configurable
Each input is individually configurable. The function (mode) as well as the
DMX-Channels to be controlled are adjustable for each input.
Easy Configuration
A user-friendly configuration via a web browser allows a quick and uncomplicated
setting of all parameters. No special software is needed, a normal web browser is
enough.
This allows configuration at any time from PC, smart phone or tablet.
For an easy setting of the IP, we provide the IP-Configurator as a PC-Tool or Android
app free of charge. This allows leaving the network settings unchanged and
configure the IP without any problems.

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs are designed as LONG DISTANCE inputs which allow using longer
supply pipes to the switching element.
The inputs are controlled (actuated) with a switch or push-button against GND:
IN1 IN2 IN3 IN4 IN5 IN6 IN7 IN8 IN9 IN10 IN11 IN12 IN13 IN14 IN15 IN16 GND GND
For the LONG DISTANCE inputs we recommend not to exceed cable lengths of
25m. Depending on the environment and type of cable, longer distances may
also be possible.
The cable cross-section should not be smaller than 0,5mm².

ArtNet-DMX Mux16 10
Configure the inputs
The inputs are configured via web interface. Therefore, both configuration sides
Input 1-8 and Input 9-6 are available.
Per Input (Input) the Mode can be selected separately.
The entering field Parameter specifies which function is to execute, e.g. which DMX
channel is to set to which value. These are described on the following pages.
The processing of the input states occurs successively from input 1 to input 16.
If a DMX channel is used for several inputs, it must be ensured that the DMX
value is not overwritten by selecting the mode.

ArtNet-DMX Mux16 11
The entering field Parameter outputs the DMX channel as well as the DMX value
The channel input occurs as decimal value from 1 up to 512.
If several channels should be controlled via input, the single values must be entered
separate and with a comma.
Example: “1” one single DMX-Channel
„1;4;7“ several DMX-Channels
Furthermore, it is possible to specify a value which should be outputted. In this case
the channel entry needs a =Value. The specified value must include the range from 0
up to 255. If there is no value entered, so 255 (100%) will be outputted.
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 if the single
information is entered separately 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“ set all DMX channel 1, 5 and 12 to value 64
Successive DMX channels can be entered in short form if the DMX start channel is
specified and the single DMX values are entered with a / one after the other.
Example: „1=16/32/64“ set DMX channels 1, 2 and 3 to value
16, 32 and 64.

ArtNet-DMX Mux16 12
The following modes can be selected for each input:
Switch (Switch)
The mode Switch sets the DMX channels to the determined value as long as the
input is controlled (activate).
If the input is not controlled (not activate), so the value is 0 (0% / OFF).
Button (Button)
The mode Button sets the DMX channels to the determined value if the input is
controlled (activate).
Switch button (Toggle-Button)
The mode Toggle-Button switches the DMX channels in case of any control
(Activate) between the determined value and 0 (0% / OFF).
Dimmer UP (Dimmer UP)
The mode Dimmer UP dims the DMX channels up as long as the input is controlled
(activate). The dimming procedure ends if the value reaches 255 (100%).
Dimmer DOWN (Dimmer DOWN)
The mode Dimmer DOWN dims down the DMX channels as long as the input is
controlled (activate). The dimming procedure ends if the value reaches 0 (0%).
Dimmer UP/DOWN (Dimmer UP/DOWN)
The mode Dimmer UP/DOWN dims up and down the DMX channels as long as the
input is controlled (activate). The dimming procedure ends if the value reaches 255
(100%) in case of dimming up / the value 0 (0%) in case of dimming down. The
dimming direction changes if the input is not controlled (release).
Button ON + Dimmer UP (Button ON + Dimmer UP)
The mode Button ON + Dimmer UP dims the DMX channels up as long as the input
is controlled for a longer time (activate). The dimming procedure ends if the value
255 (100%) is reached.
A shorter control (activate) switches on the DMX value.
Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN (Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN)
The mode Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN dims the DMX channels down as long as
the input is controlled for a longer time (activate). The dimming procedure ends if the
value 0 (0%) is reached.
A short control (activate) switches off the DMX value.
Button ON/OFF + Dimmer UP / DOWN (Button ON/OFF + Dimmer UP/DOWN)
The mode Taster EIN/AUS + Dimmer AUF/AB dims up or down the DMX channels
as long as the input is controlled (activate) for a longer time.
The dimming procedure ends if the value 255 (100%) is reached for dimming up /the
value 0 (0%) is reached for dimming down. The dimming direction changes if the
input is not controlled (release).
A short control (activate) switches off the DMX value.

ArtNet-DMX Mux16 13
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 a +=VALUE.
So, for the specified channels the value will be added.
A possible configuration for an 8Bit-binary input is as follows:
Input: IN1 up to IN8
Output: 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
