RE-DM4 and RE-DM6 RADIA Eclipse Dimmer Modules
AMX Lighting Programming
Introduction
This section provides an overview of AMX Radia Eclipse concepts and programming. For detailed
protocol information, please see the Appendix B: Radia Lighting Programming section on page 76.
This section explains firmware, channels, programming commands, and lighting curves.
Software
To best facilitate use of the Radia Eclipse RE-DM4 and RE-DM6, both use a VisualArchitect-ready Cafe
Duet module for communications between a NetLinx master and the Radia unit.
"The Duet module is designed to the DeviceSDK Lighting device class, including:
Ramp lighting levels
Turn lights on and off
Recall lighting presets
Status feedback for on/off, level and active preset
The Duet module utilizes the master's web servlet to provide a GUI interface for lighting system and
preset configuration, including:
Name zones
Select zones
Ramp zones
Discrete and toggle on/off
Recall presets
Save current preset settings
Undefine zones for exclusion from preset definition
Save a lighting scene as a preset on the Radia device and on the NetLinx master preset in a VA
1.2-compatible XML file format.
Transfer the configuration XML file by uploading from the Radia device to the NetLinx
master, downloading from the NetLinx master to Radia, and uploading from the NetLinx
master to a PC for use in VisualArchitect. The Duet module will provide any conversion
between RADIA format requirements and the XML file format, if necessary
"The Duet module queries the Radia Eclipse device on startup to populate the dimmers attached to the
Radia system, based on its configuration file.
