How to Configure DLC and Make it Work

The DLC (Digital Lighting Controller) is a powerful device used for controlling lighting systems in various settings. To ensure its proper functionality, it is essential to correctly configure and set up the DLC. This guide will walk You through the step-by-step process of configuring the DLC, from the installation of units to the finalization of parameters and design functions.

1. Introduction

The DLC is a versatile device that allows for efficient control of lighting systems. It offers a wide range of configuration options and functionalities, making it suitable for various applications. In this guide, we will cover the process of configuring the DLC to ensure optimal performance and functionality.

2. Installation of Units

Before configuring the DLC, it is necessary to install all units properly. This includes connecting the input and output devices and ensuring that the wiring is done correctly. Proper installation is crucial for the DLC to function correctly.

3. Configuring Input and Output Devices

Once the units are installed, the next step is to configure the input and output devices. This involves powering on the DLC software and allowing the DLC to scan and detect the installed devices on the Dolly Plus 9. After the initialization process is complete, it is necessary to parameterize each ECG (Electronic Control Gear), setting the maximum and minimum levels, fade time, and other essential parameters.

4. Linking Input and Output Devices

After parameterization, the next step is to link the input and output devices together. This is a crucial step in finalizing the configuration and design functions of the DLC. By linking the input and output devices, you enable the DLC to perform the desired actions and control the lighting system accordingly.

5. Demo Key Configuration

To understand the practical application of the DLC, a demo key will be used. The demo key contains a control panel for controlling the LCM (LED Color Manager) and PWBN (Power Board Network). In the next section, we will switch to the DLC software on the demo key and demonstrate how it works.

6. Project Initialization

In this section, we will walk you through the process of initializing a new project on the DLC software. This includes connecting the DLC and scanning the devices on the Daily Plus 9. By scanning the devices, the DLC will identify the LED drivers and input devices connected to the system, allowing for further configuration.

7. Effect Test Configuration

The DLC offers an effect test feature that allows for the pairing of input and output devices. This section covers the step-by-step process of configuring the effect test. This includes selecting the buttons to be paired with the LCM and PM, choosing the desired functions for each button, and setting up the push and long push actions.

8. Scene Settings

Scenes allow for the quick and easy control of specific lighting configurations. In this section, we will guide you through the process of defining scenes for the LCM and P.M. devices. Additionally, we will explain how to trigger these scenes using the assigned buttons.

9. Timer Initialization

The DLC also provides the option to set timers for specific actions. This section covers the initialization of timers on the DLC. We will walk you through the process of connecting a relay to the DLC, adding a timer, assigning the timer to an output device, and setting the desired timer actions.

10. Conclusion

In conclusion, configuring the DLC is a crucial step in utilizing its full potential. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should be able to successfully configure the DLC to meet your specific requirements.
