RoboColor III
DMX Protocol Version 1
Implemented from software version 1
All features in the RoboColor III System are fully DMX implemented. When operating via DMX you can choose between two modes: Tracking (mode 1) and Vector & Tracking (mode 2). Tracking mode means that speed of a color scroll is determined by the slope generated by the DMX controller - the color wheel is tracking this slope. When working in vector mode the scroll speed is determined by a speed value set on a separate DMX channel. This channel also allows you to enable tracking mode instead.
| DMX Mode | Color Control | DMX Channel Requirements | PL113 Jumper Setting | |
| 1 (factory setting) | Tracking | 5 Channels | No Jumper | |
| 2 | Tracking/Vector | 6 Channels | Pin 1 and 2 | |
Each DMX channel in the Robocolor III System is used to provide several different functions depending on where it is set within 0-255 increments. The functions are described in the DMX protocol listed on next page. If adding the DIP-switch address of the Robocolor III Controller to the DMX channel offset value listed for a certain function, you get the absolute DMX channel that controls that particular function.
