Hardware<br />
Interface descripti<strong>on</strong><br />
RS232 - Interface<br />
The <strong>Gateway</strong> has a RS232-Schnittstelle with 9pol Sub D socket. The socket is wired<br />
as DCE (data communicati<strong>on</strong> equipment, how a modem), thus <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> to a<br />
normal PC interface is possible. As data format 8 data bits 1 stop bit and no parity<br />
are used. The Baud rate amounts to 9600 Baud.<br />
The socket is allocated as follows.:<br />

Programming-<br />
Interface<br />
Depending <strong>on</strong> programming (see below) <strong>the</strong> gateway works as <strong>DMX</strong> master or <strong>DMX</strong><br />
Slave. Up to 512 channels can be administered in each case.<br />
.

For c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> gateway you need <strong>the</strong> software <strong>DMX</strong>Gate. This software<br />
defines <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> <strong>KNX</strong>/<strong>EIB</strong> group addresses to <strong>the</strong> <strong>DMX</strong>-channels.<br />
After starting of <strong>the</strong> software, <strong>the</strong> main window of <strong>the</strong> applicati<strong>on</strong> appears. Via <strong>the</strong><br />
menue item “Datei” (File) a new project can be created or an existing project can be<br />
opened.

When a new project is created, a new window appears in which <strong>the</strong> <strong>KNX</strong>/<strong>EIB</strong> group<br />
addresses can be assigned to <strong>the</strong> <strong>DMX</strong>-channels. Depending <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> setting chosen<br />
(see below) <strong>the</strong> group addresses are shown as 2- or 3-level display. The channel<br />
assignment is definded by selecting <strong>the</strong> desired <strong>DMX</strong>-channel, entering <strong>the</strong><br />
corresp<strong>on</strong>ding group address ant <strong>the</strong> data type. As data types 1-bit (0/1) and 1-byte<br />
(0…255)-values are available. An input in <strong>the</strong> field “Benennung” (name) is opti<strong>on</strong>al<br />
and is <strong>on</strong>ly used for documentati<strong>on</strong> purposes. After operati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> key<br />
“übernehmen” (accept), <strong>the</strong> data are shown next to <strong>the</strong> channel number in <strong>the</strong> list.<br />
The assignments can be changed by selecting <strong>the</strong> assignment, changing it and<br />
c<strong>on</strong>firming it by “übernehmen” (accept).<br />
An assignment can be deleted by pressing <strong>the</strong> key “löschen” (delete).

described above, can be changed and extended.

Via <strong>the</strong> menue item „Einstellungen/Schnittstelle“ (settings/interface) <strong>the</strong> serial<br />
interface of <strong>the</strong> PC can be selected by means of which <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> is to be<br />
loaded into <strong>the</strong> gateway.<br />
Opti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Under „Einstellungen/Opti<strong>on</strong>en“ (settings/opti<strong>on</strong>s) <strong>the</strong> display format of <strong>the</strong> group<br />
addresses can be chosen and <strong>the</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> mode of <strong>the</strong> gateway can be<br />
determined. In <strong>the</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> mode “Slave” <strong>the</strong> gateway receives data from <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>DMX</strong>512-system and c<strong>on</strong>verts <strong>the</strong>se to <strong>KNX</strong>/<strong>EIB</strong>-massages which are sent to <strong>the</strong><br />
assigned group addresses. In <strong>the</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> mode “Master” <strong>the</strong> received <strong>KNX</strong>/<strong>EIB</strong>data<br />
are sent cyclically to <strong>the</strong> assigned <strong>DMX</strong>512-channels. Here, starting with<br />
channel 1, all channels up to <strong>the</strong> highest channel number assigned are sent, even if<br />
individual channels are not assigned.<br />
Please note: <strong>DMX</strong> signals are digital data streams, which cannot be added simply by<br />
coupling. In additi<strong>on</strong> a c<strong>on</strong>verter (Merger) is necessary, which is equipped with two<br />
receivers and <strong>on</strong>e transmitter. The Merger receives all data and sends <strong>the</strong>m correctly<br />
compound up. That means if you use a gateway in <strong>the</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> mode “master” in<br />
combinati<strong>on</strong> with a fur<strong>the</strong>r master (e.g. C<strong>on</strong>trol desk) a Merger is absolutely<br />
necessary.

Via menue item „Prog/Start“ <strong>the</strong> programming of <strong>the</strong> gateway is initiated. First of all<br />
<strong>the</strong> program tries to get a c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong> gateway. When this has been successful,<br />
<strong>the</strong> firmware versi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> gateway as well as <strong>the</strong> free memory sectors are indicated.<br />
Via <strong>the</strong> butt<strong>on</strong> „Start“ <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> data can be loaded into <strong>the</strong> gateway.
