Control
Mixing Control Methods
It is possible to use a mixture of DMX and iCANnet control inputs to control RigSwitch.
The three control options are CAN only, DMX only and DMX if Present, which can be configured per channel. These are described as follows:
- When in CAN only mode, DMX input is ignored.
- When in DMX only mode, CAN is ignored.
- When in DMX If Present mode, DMX can take control of a channel, if the DMX level for that channel is taken up to match the current level currently controlled by CAN. DMX then takes control of the channel. DMX will remain in control of that channel until the DMX signal is lost.
If an Alarm input, or Alarm CAN message is received, this will override the DMX input.
If controlling with DALI and the SCMR1232 in RigSwitch is configured as a DALI end device, iCANnet and DMX control will be ignored.
