Gotham Incito DMX512_RDM Field Rev. E - Manual

Description
The Gotham Incito downlighting family utilizes DMX512 protocol via a DMX converter module
(DMXR option (HPEPP module), see figure 1) over Category 5 cable and has the capability to
communicate with the lighting controller (processor, light board, Easyl controller, etc.) via RDM
(Remote Device Management). The Remote Device Management Protocol (RDM) permits
intelligent bi-directional communication between devices from multiple manufacturers utilizing a
modified DMX512 data link. RDM is an EF 1.0 implementation of ANSI E1.11. RDM permits a
console or other controlling device to discover and then configure, monitor, and manage
intermediate and end-devices connected through a DMX512 network. RDM provides for
intelligent control of devices on a DMX512 network, which has not been previously available
outside of proprietary networks. This standard specifies: the physical layer and timings, device
discovery process and algorithms, message structure and communication. The DMX to 0-10V
converter has a resolution of 4000 steps from minimum to maximum. It’s configurable to respond

converter has a resolution of 4000 steps from minimum to maximum. It’s configurable to respond
to either one DMX slot or two DMX slots: when one slot is used to control it, the converter will up
convert the 255 DMX steps to the full output resolution by fading smoothly between the steps.
When 2 DMX slots are used the converter will provide user access to the full 4000 steps.
