LED Indication
Rail-Switch II has front-panel LED indicators
for the following functions:
Data (upper):
OFF = no data received
Green = DMX and RDM received
Yellow = DMX only received
Alternating green/yellow = Rail-Switch II is
in preset playback mode or test mode (see
'Configuration' below)
Power/Locate (lower):
Green = Power
Flashing green = RDM locate is active
An RDM locate sent to the root or the sub-
devices will have the identical effect of causing
the power indicator to flash.
Relays 1 - 6 (right-hand side):
Blue = Relay is energised
Configuration
Rail-Switch II uses one channel to control
each relay, requiring 6 channels in total.
There are various configuration options
(including start address programming). These
are accessed using RDM, which requires a
suitable programming interface.
One option is Commissioner rdmx, a handheld
RDM programming tool available from Artistic
Licence.
Alternatively, Rail-Switch II can be connected
to an Art-Net network using an interface
product such as Art-Lynx O/P or Net-Lynx
O/P. Configuration is then achieved using
DMX-Workshop, a PC software application
for managing Art-Net networks (available as
a free-of-charge download from the Artistic
Licence website, www.artisticlicence.com).
DMX-Workshop
This windows-based application provides a
convenient means of accessing the Rail-Switch
II configuration menus. DMX-Workshop can
also be used for product firmware uploads.
Rail-Switch II User Guide
Start address programming
In the DMX-Workshop 'Node List' screen,
Rail-Switch II appears as an RDM device,
with each relay listed as a sub-device (see
screenshot below).
If the user wishes all 6 output channels to be
consecutively addressed, this is achieved by
setting the RDM device start address (right-
click on the RDM device entry). Alternatively, if
the user wishes to individually set the address
of each channel, this is achieved by setting
the start address of each sub-device (right-
click on the desired RDM sub-device).
Generally, right-clicking on any entry brings
up a menu of the available options.
Preset mode
It is possible to pre-programme Rail-Switch
II such that it can be installed without a DMX
controller. Rail-Switch II has 8 preset memories
which can be used to record different on/off
combinations of the six relay outputs.
DMX-Workshop allows these settings to be
captured and played back. To access the
relevant menus, right-click on the Rail-Switch
II RDM device (as shown above). Please note
that the data captured is always the DMX512
input, independent of the currently selected
output.
