Abstract

The present invention provides a system device, which sets-up IDs for plural devices, On-Line, especially for illuminating equipments connected with standard DMX signals, mainly by logging related data with non-volatile memory elements (NOV-RAM, EEPROM, and FLASH etc.), and separately depositing, On-Line, the operation data needed by the entire system, into designated individual devices with specifically arranged communication protocols and procedures, and enabling said device operating in standard DMX signal system.

Claims

1. A set-up device for on-Line photo-electric localization includes a DMX-receiving part, a logic element for special DMX commands, a non-volatile memory element (NOV-RAM, EEPROM, and FLASH etc.), and a logic part for load-in/out-put for non-volatile memory elements, this device is characterized with:

the device for setting-up for On-Line photo-electric localization which operates in a standard DMX signal system, with depositing in each DMX device a set of IP into the non-volatile memory element of said DMX device in advance, when plural sets of DMX devices of a same model are installed on one DMX signal system, the ID localization data needed by the operation of each DMX device being deposited into each designated ID, through specially arranged commands (non-standard DMX commands, but compatible with the system of standard DMX signal), in order that each said DMX device operates normally in the standard DMX signal system.
