AMX RADIA Lighting Programming

AMX RADIA Lighting Programming

Overview

The AMX Lighting Control SystAxLinkem employs the Axcess and SEND_STRING software programs to control the dimming of electronic ballasts, incandescent lamps, low voltage track lighting, and a host of new transformers. This manual describes connecting and programming a AMX Lighting system.

This section explains firmware, channels, SEND_STRING wall panels, programming commands, and lighting curves.

This manual refers to AMX Lighting firmware version 4.0 and higher.

Software

To best facilitate use of the Radia Eclipse RE-DM4 and RE-DM6, both use a VisualArchitect-ready Cafe Duet module for communications between a NetLinx master and the Radia unit.

"The Duet module is designed to the DeviceSDK Lighting device class, including: Ramp lighting levels

Turn lights on and off Recall lighting presets

Status feedback for on/off, level and active preset

The Duet module utilizes the master's web servlet to provide a GUI interface for lighting system and preset configuration, including:

Name zones Select zones Ramp zones Discrete and toggle on/off Recall presets

Save current preset settings

Undefine zones for exclusion from preset definition

Save a lighting scene as a preset on the Radia device and on the NetLinx master preset in a VA 1.2- compatible XML file format.

Transfer the configuration XML file by uploading from the Radia device to the NetLinx master, downloading from the NetLinx master to Radia, and uploading from the NetLinx master to a PC for use in VisualArchitect. The Duet module will provide any conversion between RADIA format requirements and the XML file format, if necessary

The Duet module queries the Radia Eclipse device on startup to populate the dimmers attached to the Radia system, based on its configuration file.
