AMX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Programming
PROlink wall panels
PROlink wall panels are available for direct connection to the AMX Lighting system. PROlink
panels do not rely on an AXlink connection. PROlink panels have an internal fixed program that is
powered from the PROlink connector on the AMX Lighting controller. These panels get power
from the power supply available to the controller where the panel is connected. These panels reflect
changes made to the AMX Lighting system by the Axcess system when the AMX Lighting
Controllers are also connected on AXlink.
Lighting Systems
AMX Lighting systems are based on a modular construction. There are three basic components to
the modular structure: Controller, Enclosure, and Dimmer/Switch Modules. All AMX Lighting
controllers have six channels of control. Seven channels of control will always require the use of
two controllers.
In order to have the controllers address different dimmers ranges, they have a DIP switch installed
to address each pack/group of six channels to a specific range. Changing the PROlink DIP switch
address (value) is a means of differentiating the various dimmers. All AXlink devices also have an
address DIP switch to set a unique ID from 1 to 255. FIG. 2 shows a sample AMX Lighting
controller and its internal components.
