This is what i have in the room
RDC-DC 6 channel dimmer only 4 channels are used
RDM-3DC
RDM-DC
1i have hooked up all the cable coming from fluroscent bulb ballasts to the dimmer cards.
2.Connected the Axlink cable to NI3100
3.Set the dip switch address on RDC-DC has 224
4,Defined the device dvRadiaDimmer:224.1.0
for the touch panel dvTPRadiaDimmer:10001:27:1
5.I can see the card online in my netlinx online devices
I have 4 zones in the room ,i need to turn on and off individually the zones,and turn up or down the lights.
And also a master off and on.
Can some please tell what is the code for programming this and how to go about doing this
This is for a small auditorium

It's funny...
the manual listed for the radio mater itself doesn't contain any programming info.
strange...
It's an Axlink devices. Each dimmer channel corresponds to an AMX device channel.
So, dimmer 1 = channel 1. So if you send a level to the device's channel 1, it'll adjust the dimmer to that. the level is either 0-100% or 0-255.
There are also commands to control the ramp time and whatnot.
I'm sure if you experiment using the commands from this manual you'll hit pay dirt.

Thou i tried it but no luck,tried to switch on dimmer 1,2,3,4 ,but notifications just says button pressed and released
i have a RDC-DC and a RDM-3DC.
are they the same?
If not how do you go about programming them.
Let's see the code. Perhaps we can help.
DEFINE_DEVICE
dv_Light = 224:1:0
dv_RadiaTP = 10001:16:1
PROGRAM_NAME='Inctest'
DEFINE_VARIABLE
INTEGER nIndex1
INTEGER nLightButton[]=
{
1, // dimmer channel 1 ON
2, // dimmer channel 1 OFF
3, // dimmer channel 2 ON
4 // dimmer channel 2 OFF
}
DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[dv_RadiaTP,nLightButton]
{
push:
{
nIndex1 = GET_LAST(nLightButton)
SWITCH(nIndex1)
{
CASE 1:
{
// dimmer channel 1 ON
ON[dv_Light,129]
}
CASE 2:
{
// dimmer channel 1 OFF
ON[dv_Light,135]
}
CASE 3:
{
// dimmer channel 2 ON
ON[dv_Light,130]
}
CASE 4:
{
// Dimmer channel 2 OFF
ON[dv_Light,136]
}
}
}

The Netlinx studio just says the button is pushed and released,and the lights dont turn on or off.
And i even tried send commands ,there is no response
[QUOTE=PROGRAM_NAME='Inctest'
DEFINE_VARIABLE
INTEGER LIGHT_STATE
DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[dv_RadiaTP,1]
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_COMMAND dv_Light,'P1L100T0'
LIGHT_STATE=1
}

Is there a difference between RE-DM6 and RDC-DC.Maybe they have different programming
I have a RDC-DC where RDM-3DC is connected to it
Link to RDC-DC(RADIA control card)
http://www.amx.com/products/RDC-DC.asp
Link to RDM-3DC(Triple DC Card)
http://www.amx.com/products/RDM-3DC.asp
Can I send commands to the Radia directly thru Control a device? Just wanting to test the Radia. Is this the right place to do this?
