Base DMX

SKU:M128

Description

Base DMX is a functional base specifically designed for DMX-512 data transmission scenarios. It communicates and enables control with the M5 host via a serial port, and is equipped with XLR-5 and XLR-3 male and female connectors, making it convenient for users to connect DMX devices with different interfaces. Additionally, the module features a 485 interface with HT3.96 spacing, allowing for easy connection to extended 485 devices. The communication signals are isolated using high-speed optocouplers, and the power supply uses a dedicated isolated power module, providing two independent RS-485 circuits for transmitting and receiving DMX data. The internal double-throw switch allows users to choose between two independent or parallel operation modes. For power supply, the DC-JACK interface and the corresponding DC-DC circuit provide power to the entire device. This product is suitable for stage lighting control, sound equipment control, landscape lighting control, and decorative lighting control.

Onboard Switch Function Description

  • Switch1: Controls whether the 680Ω biasing resistor is connected to the Base DMX output interface. This resistor is used to ensure a stable electrical level in the idle state of the bus and to improve the signal quality.
  • Switch2: Controls whether the Base DMX input signal is separated (the signal is input to the main control) or bypassed and output to the output interface.
  • Switch3: Controls whether the 120Ω terminal resistor is connected to the Base DMX input interface. This resistor is used to reduce signal reflection and to improve the signal quality.
