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:
zRamp lighting levels
zTurn lights on and off
zRecall lighting presets
zStatus 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:
zName zones
zSelect zones
zRamp zones
zDiscrete and toggle on/off
zRecall presets
zSave current preset settings
zUndefine zones for exclusion from preset definition
zSave 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.
zTransfer 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.
