Description

You will need to first connect the DMBM control module to your network and connect using it's IP. Once in the “Nice Screen Configuration Tool”, you can search for motors and find their ept addresses. Also, you can set the travel times/speeds and set groups in the tool. The first motor starts at 1, and the rest count up from there.

Using automatic shading block to send RS232 commands to a single shade motor with ept "1".

Baud Rate: 115200 Parity: None Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: None

You will need to add carriage return to end of all command strings."backslash r"

First "01" is the address of the DMBM... Second "01" is the ept of the motor **IN HEX**... "03" = Up,"04" = Down,"02" = Stop

For up: cmd > 01 01 03 For down: cmd > 01 01 04 For stop: cmd > 01 01 02

Using automatic shading block to send RS232 commands to a shade group.

You will need to add carriage return to end of all command strings. "backslash r"

Best practice when sending group commands is to use the bitmask generator in the DMBM command generator tool. You will need to make a list of every motor ept in the group you want to control and select them in the bitmask generator. This adds a bit of time, but you will have more consistent results this way.

Example string for sending an "Up" command to a group containing motor ept "1".

GRP > 01 FF 03 00 02000000000000000000000000000000 0000

"01" is adr of DMBM "03" is the UP command "02000000000000000000000000000000" is the bitmask generated by the DMBM for a group containing motor ept "1"
