Working with Smart Remotes Smart Remote Overview Smart Remotes are configured within Drag Net 4 and higher. The following sections describe configuring the various parameters and modes for the remotes themselves. Details on assigning remotes to control parameters and functions with an RPM are found in Drag Net’s included Help file (Help > Help Topics). Creating a new Configuration Smart Remote configurations can be created as offline Storage files, for subsequent transfer to a Live remote.
SR 4 Configuration Parameters The SR 4 features a 31-position LED indicator, rotary data encoder with integrated push switch, and a column of eight green LED indicators for selection status. Custom selection lists are easily created using the included Microsoft Word template or SR 4 Label Maker application. The printed list is then placed beneath the transparent window of the SR 4 ’s faceplate insert, and held firmly in place by a plastic lens.
Max Num Selections Max Num Selections limits the number of selections accessible by the user. For example, if Max Num Selections is set to 4, the user is only able to access Selections 1 to 4, even though there are 4 other Selections (total of 8) stored on the SR 4. Max Num Selections only applies when an Auto Selection mode is enabled.

Right-click the Storage configuration and choose Transfer To, then select a destination remote from the list.
Updating Smart Remote Firmware It may be necessary to update a Smart Remote’s firmware in order to add features or address one of those pesky glitches that only seem to appear after the product’s been released. Remotes with the following firmware versions can be upgraded as new firmware becomes available: Remote With Firmware Version SR 2 2.0 and higher SR 3 4.0 and higher SR 4 1.0 and higher Older remotes may not be updateable, or updateable only by Rane.
SR 4 Wiring Guidelines Restrictions 24 AWG CAT 5 cable resistance = 26 ohms per 1,000 feet. There are two wiring restrictions. First, RW 485 has a maximum of 1,000 feet. The total length may not exceed this limit in any combination of series or parallel runs. Second, the voltage of the power supply also affects the maximum distance of each length between, and the number of Remotes.

SR 4 Communication Protocol The SR 4 communication protocol follows Rane’s RW 485 specification. The following describes the SR 4 implementation. Physical The baud rate is 38,400 bps with No parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit (N81) format. The SR 4 also supports 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200 bps. When configuring Remotes used with Rane controllers (RPM 22, 44, 88), the RW 485 baud rate of 38400 bps is required. At the end of a command message, the Master must release the bus within 10 ms.
The msgtype is a one byte set of flags indicating options, bit 7=MSB: bit 0) set = checksum is valid bit 1) set = there has been an error (response only) bit 2-5) reserved, cleared to 0 bit 6) always 1 bit 7) always 0 If the controller wants the SR 4 to verify the checksum, it would send a value of $41, or an ASCII ‘A’. If the controller wants the SR 4 to ignore the checksum, it would send a value of $40, or an ASCII ‘@’. The SR 4 echoes back the it was sent.
The SR 4 responds with response data based on the commands/arguments it was sent. The SR 4 limits its response data to 40 characters. In the case of an error, the response data is: n,"ERROR" where n is an error code defined below: Hex ASCII Error Code Meaning $31 '1' Sent invalid. $32 '2' Sent did not verify. $33 '3' Sent parse error. $34 '4' Sent greater than 40 characters, or the number of concatenated commands >4.
Configuration Commands V Get Firmware, Hardware Version Send: V Response: n1,n2,"OK" Where: n1 is a two digit ASCII encoded decimal value representation of the firmware version. The first digit is the major firmware version and the second digit is the minor firmware version. n2 is a one digit ASCII encoded decimal value representation of the hardware version. Example: 13,2,"OK" means firmware version 1.3, hardware version 2.
To write a stored parameter value: Send: SPL,n1,n2 Where: n1 is the stored parameter index. n2 is the value to be stored. Example: SPL,1,0 sets Auto Level parameter to 0, disabling the Auto Level function. Response: "OK" Encoder Input Commands ILD Read/Write Encoder LED Enable byte Reads or writes the Encoder LED Enable byte. To read the LED Enable byte: Send: ILD Response: n1,"OK" Where: n1 is the Encoder LED Enable byte. The range is [0, 1].
IQ Input Query Returns the current level and selection. Resets the command state to No Operation. Send: IQ Response: n1,n2,"OK" Where: n1 is the current level. The level range is [1, 31]. n2 is the current selection. The selection range is [1, 8]. Example: 15,4, "OK" means that the current level is 15 and the current selection is 4. IR Input Raw Returns the current level, selection, command state, and the length of time the encoder button has been pressed.
IS Input Suggest Suggests new level and selection. Resets the command state to No Operation. If Auto Level is enabled, the level is updated and indicated by the encoder LED only if the device’s level has not changed by someone turning the encoder. Otherwise, if Auto Level is disabled, the level is updated and indicated by the encoder LED regardless of encoder input.
n2 is the current selection. The selection range is [1, 8]. n3 is the current command state. The command state represents the state of the encoder. The possible states follow: 0 No Operation The encoder has not changed. 1 Encoder Left The encoder has been turned counter clockwise. 2 Encoder Right The encoder has been turned clockwise 16 Selection Left The encoder has been pushed in and turned counter clockwise. 32 Selection Right The encoder has been pushed in and turned clockwise.
