DESCRIPTION
RDNET CONTROL 2 is an hardware interface to connect dB Technologies RDNET
compatible devices (DVA T12, DVA S30N,etc.), to a Personal Computer (PC) by means of
an USB connection.
The RDNET system was purposely developed to create a data network for monitoring
and command of more systems.
The addressing of the various devices is handled automatically by RDNET CONTROL 2
interface. Each device is assigned a unique address during the power on procedure of
network.
For the RDNET network operating, it is necessary to install the appropriate Software on
PC, on Microsoft Windows® environment.
The RDNET CONTROL 2 unit can manage up to 2
subnets. Up to 32 devices can be connected to each subnet (2 subnets x 32 = total 64
devices).
From PC it is possible to check the operating of each single device connected to the
network and edit its parameters output level, mute, equalization, delay, etc.
The network and devices configuration can be saved as file in the PC and later reloaded.
RDNET is a “real-time” system: Information relating to the functioning of the devices is
acquired in real-time, a feature that allows a global view of connected devices.
For the correct working of USB (1.1 o 2.0) communication between PC and RDNET
CONTROL 2 it is recommended to use the USB cable supplied.
