DMX Control

RigSwitch cabinets feature an SCMR1232 Relay Controller, which can be controlled with DMX. RigSwitch 12 include one of these, and RigSwitch 24 include two. To control with DMX, bring in a suitable DMX feed into the SCMR1232 RS485 terminals. If this SCMR1232 is the last device on the DMX line, terminate the DMX line with the termination switch. If the SCMR1232 is not the end of the DMX line, whether that be the DMX line continuing to another device, or to the other SCMR1232 in RigSwitch 24, continue the DMX the feed out of these terminals, and do not terminate.

The DMX start address of the SCMR1232 can be configured with the rotary encoders using a terminal screwdriver. The SCMR1232 is a 12 channel device, with the first relay channel being controlled by the start address, and each relay consuming a single sequential channel.

SCMR1232 will be defaulted to DMX address 1. The second SCMR1232 in RigSwitch 24 for channels 13-24, will be pre-addressed to DMX address 13.

If the SCMR1232 is connected to an iCANnet network with iCANsoft present, individual relay channels can be configured to individual DMX channels, rather than sequential blocks. To allow this functionality, configure the rotary DMX address encoders to 0-0-0.

When DMX is present, the DMX/RS485 indicator LED will flash green.
