DMX Relais/Analog Interface 4 3
Description
The DMX-Relais/Analog Interface 4 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 voltages from 12V up to 24V
The DMX-Relais/Analog Interface 4 runs with supply voltages from 12V up to 24V
DC.
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.
LED-Status-Display
The LED status display shows DMX receipt.
RDM support
The DMX-Relais/Analog Interface 4 allows configuration by RDM via DMX.
Top hat rail housing available
The top-hat rail housing 1050 is available as accessory for the DMX-Relais/Analog
Interface 4.

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. Is the LED 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
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.

Switch relay by an analog value greater than 0V
This mode doesn’t use separate DMX-channels for the relays. The relay switches
immediately as soon as the analog value is greater than 0V or the DMX-value for the
analog output is greater than 0.
To activate this mode please set the MODE-Jumper 1:
In this case the DMX-channel assignment as follows:

Relay and Analog separate adjustable
Relay switches by an analog value

Resolve the adjusted 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.

DMX-FAIL Function
The DMX-Relais/Analog Interface 4 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!

RDM
(ab Hardware V1.2)
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 DMX-
Relais / Analog Interface 4 must be set to OFF ! A DMX start address set by
the address switches is always prior !
