| Title: |
Addressable Light Dimmer and Addressing System |
| Abstract: |
An addressable lighting device and control system uses a DMX protocol
controller to selectively generate an electronic address for the
addressable lighting device on which the device will respond to all future
signals from the controller corresponding to that electronic address. The
addressable device has a program mode for setting the address and a
working mode for receiving control signals on the set address. The
addressable device may have the address set and changed remotely using the
DMX protocol controller and a remote control to switch modes, thereby
avoiding the problems associated with using DIP switches to set device
electronic addresses.
