APPENDIX C DMX512 MODE COMMUNICATION DATA
R20UT0435EJ1200 Rev. 12.00 51
Jul 31, 2014
<2> Frame
One frame is configured of one start bit, eight data bits, and two stop bits.
One frame is equivalent to one UART communication data byte with a baud rate of 250 kbps, no parity, and two stop
bits.

C.2 Communication Data Specification
The frame data bits are LSB first.
The start code is fixed to 0x00. Packets with a start code other than 0x00 are invalid.
Brightness data corresponding to channels 1 to 4 on the board are set to each frame (0 brightness data 255).
If the DMX status is assigned to a channel in the
PD78F8024 that has a constant-current driver IC or an evaluation
board that uses a constant-current driver IC (EV-K0-HCD or EZ-0006), the following operations are performed
depending on the channel data.
If 0x80 is received when DMX communication is enabled, DMX communication is shut down.
If 0x00 is received when DMX communication is shut down, DMX communication is enabled.
