Gilderfluke&Co Pb-DMX - Manual (Page 9)

• Automatic ʻprogram in placeʼ download through the RS-232 serial port on your
PC and the included PC•MACs software. It takes about thirty seconds to down-
load a ten minute show.
• RS-232 port is connected using a 1/8” mini plug. Serial cables are available
from Gilderfluke & Co. as the Mp3-50/CBL. If your PC does not have a serial
port on it, we also offer the USB-RS232/422 USB-to-serial port adapter.
• ʻTestʼ button allows outputs to be manually turned on or off, one at a time.
• Each v1.1 Pb-DMX/32 comes with a minimum of four MBytes of nonvolatile
memory. This gives each Pb-DMX/32 an onboard show capacity of about nine
hours at thirty updates per second! If you are using less than the full thirty-two
relay outputs, or lower the frame rate, the capacity will be extended proportion-
ally.
• Once programmed, shows are saved for approximately forty years, with or
without power applied.
• Two hundred fifty-five shows can be loaded onto a Pb-DMX/32.
• You can rewrite the show memory approximately fifty thousand times.
• Two non-polarized optoisolated inputs to synchronize Pb-DMX/32s with push-
buttons or other real-time events.
• Each Pb-DMX/32 input can be set to start, stop, pause, continue, or directly se-
lect a specific show. LEDs show all input activity.
• Shows can be accessed sequentially or directly using the two optoisolated in-
puts or serial port. Supports foreground/background shows.
• The ʻnextʼ show can be set for the end of any show, allowing you to loop a sin-
gle show or build ʻchainsʼ of shows.
• Multiple Pb-DMX/32s can be triggered simultaneously or sequentially.
• The Pb-DMX/32 supports update rates from one frame per second to a maxi-
mum of one hundred frames per second when using the PC•MACs software.
Different shows can each be programmed at different frame rates. This allows
you to program a ʻdelayʼ show that ticks along at a low frame rate between your
main shows.
• The Pb-DMX/32 runs on anything from seven to twenty-four vdc. Use five volt
modules for supply voltages up to nine volts. Use 15 volt modules with supply
voltages from 11 to 21 volts. Use 24 volt modules for supply voltages from 18 to
32 volts.
• AC and DC relay output modules are available. Typical current capacity is 3.5
amps each. You can freely mix both AC and DC relay output modules on any
Pb-nn mounting board.
• Sturdy aluminum case.
