The XTEC DMX Snapshot is a DIN-rail mounted DMX512 controller, with four memories, and two digital inputs. It is intended for industrial applications that require simple control of DMX512 devices via relays, switches or 9-24v DC signals. Typical examples may include using a PLC to control a smoke machine, or using a sensor to control lighting in a museum exhibit.

 

The device can also operate as a fail-safe device for another lighting controller: In normal operation the DMX input will pass through to the DMX output. If the DMX input fails, memory 1 will be output.

 

To record a memory, an external lighting controller is connected to the DMX input, and “snapshots” are recorded via buttons on the device. These memories may now be recalled in various ways via the 2 digital inputs: Two memories using momentary inputs, four memories using binary maintained inputs, alternate flashing / fading mode, or random flicker mode. A removable MicroSD card is included, which can be used to backup and transfer snapshots as required.

 

The DMX Snapshot is powered from 9-24v DC, and the opto-coupled inputs are 9-24v DC compatible. All terminations are via removable screw terminal blocks, for ease of wiring and maintenance.
