8 2518 DMX Controller

Setting an Address

Addresses are commonly assigned by setting a DIP-switch on the device. DIP-switch set-

tings are shown in Table 4. The settings apply for Martin products and any other devices

that use base 1 numbering, that is, channel 1 is set with DIP-switch 1 on.

The DIP-switch may also be used to enable special options. The Martin Punisher X250 and

Destroyer X250, for example, must be set with DIP-switch 10 on. Please refer to the user

manuals for specific details on address and mode setting.

Addressing Example

Suppose we have the following equipment.

• 2 sets of 4 RoboColor IIx

• 4 RoboColor Pro 400s

• 2 RoboScan 812s

• 2 Punisher X250s

• 2 Destroyer X250s

• 1 RoboZap MSR 1200 (with DMX interface)

• 1 6-Channel DMX Switch Pack

We could set the equipment as shown in Table 5. There are not enough channels to control

everything independently so 2 RoboColor Pro 400s are together on channels 44 - 48 and 2

more are together on channels 56 - 60. They are set for 5-channel tracking mode because

there is not enough room for 7-channel vector mode - speed control will not be possible.

Note that all fixtures except the RoboScan 812s, which require 7 channels, have all their

control channels on a single button. The second Destroyer is set to channel 31 instead of 30

in order to avoid spitting it between 2 buttons.
