5. Жұмыс режимдері

The CR011R-3pin supports bi-directional operation, allowing it to function as both an ArtNet to DMX converter and a DMX to ArtNet converter.

5.1 ArtNet to DMX (DMX Output Mode)

In this mode, the device receives Art-Net data over Ethernet and converts it into DMX512 signals, which are then output through the 3-pin XLR port to control DMX-compatible lighting fixtures. The blue LED indicator will stay on (no blinking).

5.2 DMX to ArtNet (DMX Input Mode)

When configured for DMX input, the device receives DMX512 signals from a DMX controller via the 3-pin XLR port and converts them into Art-Net data, which is then transmitted over Ethernet. This allows DMX consoles to control Art-Net compatible software or devices. The blue LED indicator will blink continuously.

To switch to DMX input mode, set the 'Transmit mode' to 'artnet <- dmx' via the OLED display or DMX Workshop.

7. Техникалық сипаттамалар

8. Ақаулықтарды жою

• No DMX Output/Input:
  • Verify the 'Transmit mode' setting on the device or via DMX Workshop. Ensure it matches your intended operation (ArtNet to DMX or DMX to ArtNet).
  • Check DMX cable connections and ensure they are secure.
  • Confirm that the DMX universe setting on the device matches your lighting control software. Note that some software may label the first universe as '1' while the device may internally refer to it as '0'. Adjust accordingly.
• Желі қосылымы жоқ:
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected and the green Link LED on the RJ45 port is illuminated.
  • Check the IP address, subnet mask, and other network parameters configured on the device and your computer/network. Art-Net typically uses a specific IP range (e.g., 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x) and subnet mask (e.g., 255.0.0.0).
  • If connecting directly to a computer, manually configure your computer's network adapter to be in the same IP range as the device.
  • Confirm that your network allows UDP traffic on Art-Net's default port (6454).
• Құрылғы қосылмаған:
  • Ensure the USB-C power cable is securely connected to both the device and a functional 5V power source.
  • Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter to rule out faulty accessories.
