ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface 4 2
For your own safety, please read this user manual and warnings
carefully before installation.
Description
The ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface is designed for several controlling tasks.
4 switch contacts for direct and alternating voltage
4 potential-free switching outputs (normally open / NO) with up to 8A switching
capacity for switching DC or AC voltage.
4 analog outputs
Four analog outputs with 0-10V vs 1-10V can be used to control systems with analog
inputs.
Analog outputs with 10mA
Each analog output has an output driver with max 10mA available.
For power supply from 12V up to 24V
The ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface runs with supply voltages from 12V up to 24V DC.
DMX, Art-Net or RDM
Optionally the ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface can be controlled via DMX, Art-Net
(DMX over Ethernet) or RDM (Remote Device Control).
RDM support
The ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface allows the configuration via RDM or DMX.
DMX-FAIL Function
An adjustable DMX FAIL function offers the option to get in case of DMX signal loss
the current state (HOLD) or assuming a preset value.
Easy configuration
A user-friendly configuration via a web browser allows a fast and uncomplicated
setting of all parameters.
Power supply for WLAN-Bridge
In addition the ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface has a USB connector providing a
power supply with 5V/500mA for external devices e.x. a WiFi-bridge.
As WLAN-bridge we suggest: TP-Link TL-WR702N or TP-Link TL-WR802N
Control via App
The control of this device is possible by using the free Android-App "DMX Remote".

LED Display Codes
The integrated LED is a Multi-functional-display.
In the normal DMX-mode the LED flashes non-stop. In this case the device is
working. If the LED is permanently dark, there is no DMX512-signal at the entry.
Also the LED signalled the operation status. In this case the LED lights up in short
pitches and then turns into off modus. The Number of flashing signals is equal to the
number of the error status.

Description
1 No DMX There is no DMX-signal at the entry
2 Address error Please check the adjusted starting address
DMX-Addressing
The DMX-starting address is adjustable via switch 1to 9.
Thereby switch 1 has the valency 2
0
(=1), switch 2 the valency 2
1
(=2) and so on until
switch 9 has the valency 2
8
(=256).
The sum of the values of the switches showing ON correspond to the starting
address.

If switches 1-9 are OFF, the DMX start address set via the web interface is
used!

Set the IP with IP-Configurator
The IP-Configurator allows the setting of the IP-Address and net mask also, if the
network settings of the PC are not in the IP-Range of the ArtNet Relais/Analog
Interface.
-Install the program IP-Configurator
-Connect the ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface to network and turn on the device.
-Start the program IP-Configurator
-The ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface is shown in the list
-Select the entry (click)
-Enter the new IP and net mask
-Click SET
Set the IP with web browser
The assigned IP-Address which will be used for the web-interface as well as for the
ArtNet is within the delivery status 2.0.0.10 .
Set the network card of your PC to this IP-Range to call the IP-Address 2.0.0.10
via the web browser.
The PCs network settings must be the IP-
Address 2.0.0.1 and the subnet mask
must be 255.0.0.0.
Please take further details from the ArtNet-
specifications.

ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface 4 9
Device Configuration
Call, via the address task at the web browser, the IP of the ArtNet Relais/Analog
Interface (Delivery state: 2.0.0.10) to get the following configuration site:
Each ArtNet-Node needs an own
IP
-
Address,
so the assignment in the
network is clear. Use in accordance to the ArtNet-Specification the IP-Address
2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x .
The Net mask is according to the ArtNet-Specification 255.0.0.0 .
Each other IP-Address can also be used for a better distinction, e.g.
192.168.1.10 . In this case the net mask must be adapted to 255.255.255.0 !

ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface 4 10
For a better distinction any name can be used for the ArtNet-Node.
The Short-name is limited to 18 signs and the Long-name is limited to 64 signs.
Under the ArtNet-Settings you can carry out the settings for the Subnet, Net and
Port/Universe.
The DMX-Start Address shows the Channels within the according DMX-Universe
from whence the outputs should be appealed.
Thereby the DMX-Starting address complies to relay 1 and the following addresses
comply to relay 2-4 followed by the analog outputs 1-4.
If a DMX-Starting address is adjusted via the switches this address is regarding prior.
Note, that the channel assignment can differ with placed MODE-Jumper !
Within the output settings for each relay and for each analog output individual names
can be entered.
Furthermore, after turning on (Power on value) the conditions for the relays can be
defined. Turning on the relays can occur delayed.
The Factory Settings will be restored by entering the number 7319.
SAVE stored the configurations respectively restored the Factory Settings.

Switching relays with an analog value higher 0V
This Mode uses no separated for the relays DMX-Channels. The relay switches as
soon as the analog value is higher than 0V respectively the DMX-value for the analog
output is higher than 0.
Via MODE-Jumper 1 this mode is activatable:
In this case the DMX-Channel assignment is as following:
DMX-Channel assignment by 8 Bit: DMX-Channel assignment by 10 Bit:
Analog+Relais 1 Analog+Relais 2 Analog+Relais 3
Analog+Relais 4

Set resolution of analog outputs
The analog output resolution will be adjusted via the MODE-Jumper 2.
The analog outputs are operable with a resolution of 8 Bit (256 steps) or 10 Bit (1024
steps).
Depending on the resolutions setting the analog output there is needed per output
one or two DMX-channels, as shown in the following picture.

Set the output voltage 0-10V / 1-10V
The analog outputs output voltage is adjustable via the MODE-Jumper 3:
DMX-FAIL Function
The ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface has a DMX-FAIL Function which stores the last
value in the case of a DMX-signal (HOLD) loss or uses a value set with RDM before.
The HOLD function can be activated via RDM or switch 10.
Switch 10 ON DMX-HOLD active
Switch 10 OFF DMX-HOLD not active
If HOLD is switched on (switch 10 = ON), the last received DMX values are kept in
case of a DMX signal failure.
If HOLD is switched off (switch 10 = OFF), the DMX values are replaced with a value
set by RDM in case of DMX signal failure. In delivery state this value is 0, so the
relays switch off.
In case of a power failure the held DMX values are rejected!
A value set by RDM is deleted when HOLD is selected.
After switching off the HOLD function the default value 0 is used!
0-10V
1-10V

ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface 4 14
DMX4ALL-Command support
The ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface has another communication interface which
receives data via TCP-packages at Port 10001.
TCP-Control
For controlling the interface directly via TCP-connection please use the set web
browser IP-address and use Port 10001. The sent and received data are RAW-data
packages.
Please take the potential DMX4All-Commands from the separated DMX4ALL-
Command description.
VCP-Control
For controlling via a COM-Port a TCP-VCP-program must be installed, providing a
virtual Com Port (VCP).
We recommend the tool Serial to Ethernet Connection tested by us. This tool is
available as download within the support area.
It is needed to enter a password
during the installation (see adjacent
figure).
After the installation start the tool
„Centos SEC“ being on the desktop.
Add a VCP with Add and specify the
parameters for this VCP-Port as per
margin.
Please mind to use the IP which is
entered via the web browser.

ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface 4 15
Finally click Update all in the main
menu to activate the VCP.
Now the status Available is shown
and the COM-Port is displayed in
the device manager.

ArtNet Relais/Analog Interface 4 16
RDM
RDM is the short form for Remote Device Management.
As soon as the device is within the system, device-dependent settings can occur
remotely via RDM command due to the uniquely assigned UID. A direct access to the
device is not necessary.
If the DMX start address is set via RDM, all address switches at the ArtNet
Relais/Analog Interface must be set to OFF ! A DMX start address set by the
address switches is always prior !
