MR-Art-A Controller Instructions
MR-Art-A Controller Instructions
Functions overview
MR-Art-A Control system is based on Ethernet Art-net protocol to achieve communication transmission，PC software transmit multi-channel data DMX512 lamps transfer to SPI signal. So each port is equal to a DMX-SPI DMX decoder. When it controls the SPI signal, each port also have the same rules with 170 pixels. And MR-Art-A control system provides 8 standard DMX512 data to SPI outputs, a total of 8 x 512 (that is 8 x 170 pixels ) can be output and support the expansion protocol，work with compatible Art-net protocol lighting control software，widely used in LED dot matrix and requires a large amount of SPI stage lighting control systems，often used in television, stage performances and other places.

- 7.LCD display module, to timely display the controller parameters and status；
- 8.The output of this controller is compatible with TTL level dual-mode and differential signals.
- 9. This controller support many SPI IC chip, it can change the parameters such as: IC type,frequency of clock, grayscale, and so on.
- 10. Dual-network interface, can achieve inter-controller cascade；
- 11. 8-port outputs, single-port load points without restriction, by the customer in accordance with the test chip features
- 12. Can set self-adapting 1000M / 100M or forced 100M, to guarantee stability of large project；
The design concept of this controller
- 1. Can set self-adapting 1000M / 100M or forced 100M, to guarantee stability of large project.
- 2.The signal of control system is two-way signal system redundancy,so it is with double stability.
- 3.It is with the four-color independent algorithms, so it is energy saving and pure color.
- 4.For a variety of special-shaped screen, multi-screen, building screens, pixel light screen complex applications such as home and abroad
- 5.Erection of fiber converter module, control system supports fiber-optic signal transmission
- 6.Support the transmission of wireless network signal, and can support wireless bridge bridge signal transmission.
- 7. Supports all major market for serial data interfaces LED driver chips, such as MBI6020, MBI6021, MBI6024 MBI6030, LPD6803, LPD8806, LPD1886, TM1803, TM1804, TM1829, TM1812, TLS3001, TLS3008, MY9221, MY9231, WS2801, WS2811, SM16716, BS0815, BS0901, BS0902, UCS8903, UCS3903, TI5971, GW6201, GW6202, GW62052, etc.

Controller install applications
I、Online mode (connected with the computer )
MR-Art-A Controller connect with the computer Ethernet port，as shown below：
II、Engineering case description and sketch map
For example in DMX512 point light source composed of 96 points × 18 dots matrix screen，use MR-Art-D controller，the wiring is arranged in the vertical S type，controller for each output port to control 3 lines point light source, totally need of 32 DMX512 interfaces. The following diagram for example：Computer MR-Art-A-01 MR-Art-A-02 MR-Art-A-04
Attention matters
I、Cat.5e twisted pair Application Notes
568B：orange-white/orange/green-white/ blue/blue-white/green/brown-white/brown
568A：green-white/green/orange-white/blue/blue-white/orange/brown-white/brown
Controller and offline master controller and switch these three devices between each other using a crossover cable is better，One head is 568B, the other head is 568A. Above any equipment and computer room with a straight line，that is both 568B or 568A，Do not define the order of the straight line.
II、Wire and connecting method from lights to controller
- 1. Controller output port to the lamp if the distance is too far，Recommended for the use of 485 dedicated lines or Cat.5e kind shielded cable connection，the best connection way is： Orange-A；Orange white-B；Green-addressing+（ADRI/PO+)；Green white-addressing- （ADRI/PO-)；Other connect to GND（Ground）
- 2.At the end of each road signal that is between A and B to add a 120R terminal resistance.
- 3.Do not connect the two wires that are intertwined to receive the signal, such as orange and orange white connect to A+or B- at same time.
III、Controller connect to ground application notes
MR-Art-A Controller using metal case，rated supply voltage is AC100V-240V，Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the effective grounding of the controller equipment and the effective grounding of the metal outer box. And the output port of the controller is exposed to the metal contact surface，therefore, according to the requirements of safety regulations，to ensure safe use of the operator， signal output port GND signal must be effectively grounded.
