Detailed Description

An RDM Model for a dimmer with subdevices.

This model simulates a dimmer with different subdevices, one per dimmer module. The model implements all of the PIDs from E1.37-1.

Sub-devices

The model has multiple sub-devices, that each take a single slot of DMX data. The sub-devices are not contiguous.

DMX_BLOCK_ADDRESS can be used to set the start address of all sub-devices in a single operation.

Dimmer Settings

Each sub-device implements the PIDs from Section 4 of E1.37-1. To make things interesting, not all sub-devices support all the dimmer curves / modulation frequencies.

Presets & Scenes.

The root device provides 3 scenes. The first scene (index 1) is a factory programed scene, which can't be modified. The 2nd and 3rd scenes can be 'updated' with capture preset.

DMX_FAIL_MODE and DMX_STARTUP_MODE can be used to change the on-failure and on-startup scenes.

Status Messages

Sub devices 1 & 3 will periodically queue status messages, which can be collected using the STATUS_MESSAGE PID. Subdevice 3 uses a manufacturer defined status_id, and the string can be retrieved with STATUS_ID_DESCRIPTION. Status messages from the individual sub devices can be suppressed with SUB_DEVICE_STATUS_REPORT_THRESHOLD.

Lock PIN

The root device implements the LOCK_PIN, LOCK_STATE & LOCK_STATE_DESCRIPTION PIDs. Besides the unlock state (default), there are two custom states. The 1st locks only the sub-devices, the 2nd locks both subdevices and the root device.

The default lock pin is 0000.

Self Tests

The root device supports two self tests. The 1st completes in 5s and always passes. The 2nd takes 20s and always fails. When the test completes a status message is queued.
