DAGON Lighting SPL-3 – RGB LED strip driver – DMX-512 and others

1. Main description abo t SPL-3 controller.

Driver (controller) SPL-3 is very functional and easy-to use tool designed for control

colorful diodes or RGB LED strips, as well as the monochrome LED diode in 3 independent

channels.

LED Lighting Control using the SPL-3 can be done in several different ways (depending on

the selected mode driver):

- via DMX-512 signal

- with two buttons BRIGHTNESS and COLOR

- with analogue signals 0-10V

- independent work SPL-3 – different sequences of color changes specified by the user's

speed and brightness of light

Particular modes of driver SPL-3 work are described in the further parts of manual.

Fig.1. Main draft and dimension of SPL-3.

Inputs function IN A and IN B depends on mode of SPL-3 work, for example:

IN A = DMX+ / button BRIGHNESS / button CODE / analogue signal 0-10V

IN B = DMX– / button COLOR / button PL S / analogue signal 0-10V

The SPL-3 controller output marked as CH1, CH2 and CH3 correspondent to three basic

colour – RED, GREEN, BL E. On this outputs the controller generate the tension signals

PWM which regulate brightness every of three basics colours, allows for any colour and

brightness of lights.

Current capacity of every output is 4A, while supplying 12V can give almost 50W on every

output. If you need to power diodes, or LED strips to be used more current an additional

degrees of power or additional SPL-3 driver.

2. Config ration SPL-3.

The main rule of SPL-3 controller is that the way of work is decide by “controller codes”

which can be set in by a user in any time. The set of “controller codes” (see table 1 and 2.4

point) is very wide, which ensure the high variety of the way of work and to control the LED

lightning using SPL-3 driver. At the same time the configuration of controller, which means

signing in the controller codes to SPL-3 controller is very simple and doesn’t require any

technical skills.

The controller codes always compose from 3 digits (from 0 to 9), which have to be sign in

to SPL-3 controller which will activate the function realized by this controller. sually

complete and correct SPL-3 controller configuration to work in requested way demands

entering in few controller codes.

To enter the controller codes are used 2 buttons marked as CODE and PL S and 2

signalization diodes – yellow and green, see Fig. 1.

2.1. HV CONTROL f nction.

HV CONTROL function is use to enter the controller codes to the SPL-3 controller

without using buttons CODE and PL S. Then uses the external controls buttons PL S and

CODE, which user can connect to the inputs control – IN A and IN B. A prerequisite for the

operation of external buttons and the buttons CODE PL S is connected to one voltage greater

than 18V (18V do 32V) – Fig.2. The driver SPL-3 while working in every way of LED

control, detects the pressing of external buttons Code and Plus and reacts in the same way as

if the CODE and PL S build in has been pushed. Please remember to previous disconnect the

controller inputs line A and B different equipment (installations) for example DMX-512

controller, because the highest voltage for those lines may destroy those equipment

(installations). To sum up - the configuration of SPL-3 controller using the HV CONTROL

function should be carry out while complete disconnection from every others controller’s

signals.

HV CONTROL function is helpful mainly when SPL-3 controller is fully built-up and

there is no access to the buttons CODE and PL S.

At the same reason SPL-3 controller during configuration duplicate the action of build-in

signalization diodes on the exit channel, allowing observation of the LED driver outputs are

connected to the SPL-3 exits as the signalization diodes.

CH1 RED – red LED signalization diode.

CH2 GREEN – green LED signalization diode.

2.2. Methods of entering the codes to SPL-3 controller.

To enter the code to SPL-3 driver press the button CODE.

Green diode will switch off, the yellow diode will switch on.

Entering the first digit of code:

Press shortly PL S button as many times as the first digit of codes is – 0 to 9.

Every pressing the PL S button is signalized by a short blink of green diode.

After setting in the first digit of code press CODE button one more time.

Yellow diode blinks (light off for half a second and light on again) it is the signal to set

in the second digit of code.

Entering the second digit of code:

Press shortly PL S button as many times as the second digit of codes is – 0 to 9.

Every pushing the PL S button is signalized by a short blink of green diode.

After setting in the second digit of code press CODE button one more time.

Yellow diode will blink (light off for half a second and light on again) it is the signal to set

in the third digit of code.

Entering the third digit of code:

Press shortly PL S button as many as the third digit of codes is – 0 to 9.

Every pushing the PL S button is signalized by a short blink of green diode.

After setting in the third digit of code press CODE button one more time.

Yellow diode light off and the green diode will light on – the code is already accepted.

After entering the code SPL-3 goes to regular work - to control the diodes LED RGB in

the way described by actual configuration – via control codes.

If in order to enter another code, proceed similarly as described above.

The same code can be entered multiple times, as in no way affects the operation of the

controller.

Not all the codes (from available range 000-999) are used. When the code which has not

attributed any function is entered, no changes in work are noticed. This kind of code will be

signalized as wrong with triple flashes yellow diode just after all three figures.

All codes are remembered in EEPROM memory of controller SPL-3. No power to the

controller does not result in losing the settings made using the CODE and PL S.

If at any time during setup (entering code) for 1 min button CODE or PL S is not

pressed, the SPL-3 configuration automatically stops and starts normal operation.

Driver configuration described above allows to enter configuration codes without the

possibility of viewing them later, in order to check whether the function is active or not.

If you forget the function status re-enter the activation code.

However, if you read the DMX address of its value can be very useful, therefore,

introduced the ability to view the DMX address in the driver SPL-3, see 2.3 point.

DAGON Lighting SPL-3 – RGB LED strip driver – DMX-512 and others

2.3. Preview of DMX address SPL-3 driver.

Viewing the address is possible only in mode of work SPL-3 with signal DMX-512, that

is after the earlier set in one from the codes 554, 555 or 556 which activate mode of work

with DMX-512.

To view the address of DMX button PL S need to be hold on for more than 1 second,

green diode will turn off and the yellow will turn on.

Viewing first digit of address DMX-512:

Green diode will blink as many times as the first digit of DMX address is – 0 to 5.

Than once blink the yellow diode which is the signal for reading the second digit.

Viewing second digit of address DMX-512:

Green diode will blink as many times as the second digit of DMX address is – 0 to 9.

Than once blink the yellow diode which is the signal for reading the third digit.

Viewing third digit of address DMX-512

Green diode will blink as many times as the third digit of DMX address is – 0 to 9.

Yellow diode will turn off - address is read and accepted.

After 2 seconds since the end of read and showing the DMX address, the SPL-3 controller

goes to the regular work, means controlling RGB LED diodes in the way described by actual

configuration – via control codes.

2.4. Description of config ration codes control the operation of SPL-3.

The main code which need to be set in into SLP-3 controller is the code which determine

mode of SPL-3 work. There are six different modes of SPL-3 work, so it means six different

codes from 551 to 556.

If one of the DMX mode of work was chosen (code 554, 555 or 556) also the address of

DMX SPL-3 controller have to be enter, so one code from 001 to 512. Chosen any code from

001 to 512 will change automatically previous code and remember new address DMX in

memory controller.

Setting in the code form 001 to 500 is also necessary while setting SPL-3 in the

RANDOM mode of work (code 553).

In RANDOM mode the meaning of codes form 001 to 499 is:

- First digit of code (digit of hundreds 0-4) is for number of active colour pallet.

- Second digit of code (digit of ten 0-9) is for the beginnings of colour on the colour’s

pallet.

- Third digit of code (digit of unity 0-9) is the last colour on the colour’s pallet.

To sum up – when the code from 001 to 499 in the RANDOM mode is set in, there is

chosen one from five available colour’s pallet. This pallet has a range of the active colours

which will be used by SPL-3 controller during the colour display and their changes.

Additionally – code 500 in the RANDOM mode let the fluently changes in colours. The

description of SPL-3 controller in the RANDOM mode the reader will find in 3.3 point.

The RANDOM mode is connected with codes 560 … 569 and 570 … 579.

Codes 560 … 569 determine speed of the colour changes, the codes 570 … 579 regulate the

brightness of LED diodes.

Code 560 activate the regulation of speed colour changes, using signal 0-10V fed to the

input IN A SPL-3 driver. For 0V analog signal IN A the speed colour changes is the smallest,

the colour changes goes in every 40 seconds. While the growth of voltage the speed colour

also increase, the colours changes more often until they blink really fast in 10V.

Code 570 enables adjustment of analog brightness LEDs, which is adjustable by means of

the analog signal 0 to 10V on input IN B driver.

For 0V at input IN B is the lowest brightness, the LEDs are completely extinguished. As the

voltage at the input IN B increase the brightness increases as well, until the maximum

brightness at a voltage of 10V.

Besides regulation of speed colour changes and the brightness changes there is possibility

of digital (discrete) regulation both of these parameters. For that function codes 561 … 569

and 571 … 579 are used.

When one code from 561 to 569 will be sign in – we will choose one from nine speed

colour changes. Depends on the code which was sign in – the colour changes come with

41sec, 20sec, 10sec, 5sec, 2.5sec, 1.25sec, 0.6sec, 0.3sec, 0.15sec. These times regarding the

step by step colour changes in RANDOM mode of work (codes 001 ... 499). When the

fluently colour changes will be chosen (code 500) – 9 speeds in colour changes can be

describe as: the slowest, barely notice the changes in colour for code 561, and the fastest,

blinking for code 569.

DAGON Lighting SPL-3 – RGB LED strip driver – DMX-512 and others

When one of the code from range 571 to 579 will be sign in, we will chose one from nine of

brightness level – from the lowest to the highest.

It is worth to notice that sing codes from 561 to 569 and 571 to 579 in RANDOM

mode let yo for completely independent work of SPL-3 controller. Inp ts IN A and

IN B can be disconnect.

Codes 561 ... 569 and 571 ... 579 work also in DMX mode, in a display program, which is

activated when the signal DMX-512 fail (when the display program was chosen as a reaction

for signal DMX-512 fail – using code 661).

Codes 560 and 570 working only in RANDOM mode, as in the DMX mode there is no

possibility to set in analogue steering signal on IN A and IN B inputs, because of the

possibility of damages the other devices connected to main line DMX.

Codes 600 … 610 are connected with SPL-3 work with B TTONS mode (code 551).

While one code from 600 to 610 is entered - it set on one from the time-delay which is

responsible for extension the lights short press the COLOR button. The time value which

respond the particular codes are shown in table 1.

Description about SPL-3 in B TTONS mode is in point 3.1.

Codes 621 and 622 activate function DIMMER which is available in all modes of DMX

work. Function DIMMER let to regulate the brightness in all exits at the same time (CH1,

CH2 and CH3) using only one channel DMX-512.

When the signal DMX-512 increased for code 621, the brightness of LED will also

increased.

When the signal DMX-512 increased for code 622, the brightness of LED will decreased.

When function DIMMER is not necessary code 620 need to be sign in to turn this function off

Codes 631, 632 and 633 activate function STROBO which is available in all modes of

DMX work. This function is responsible for blinking effect. The difference between these 3

codes rely on different length of blinking effect, which means different way of blinking LED

diodes in the same level of DMX, and the same level of frequency blinking.

Function STROBO is activate when level of DMX >= 20, which is responsible for the

slowest blinking, around 1 per second. The highest frequency is for DMX = 255 = several

blinks per second.

Code 630 deactivate function STROBO and relieve DMX channel.

Allocation of the sequences DMX channels for function DIMMER and STROBO are in

points 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 of this instruction.

Code 651 activate WHITE BALANCE. This function have an important meaning in

diodes LED RGB and tapes, where despite of the fully controls, it’s not possible to receive

white colour. It is also useful in few controllers SPL-3 which has a different shade of white

color.

For example when despite of the fully controls in RGB, apart the white colour there is

also red noticeable, the max lightness of red colour need to be decreased.

The maximum level for red colour is determine by signing in code 7xx, when xx = 0 to 99.

In the same way you can set the colors level for green, blue by entering 8xx and 9xx.

DAGON Lighting SPL-3 – RGB LED strip driver – DMX-512 and others

The function WHITE BALANCE can be also used for changing hue of light colors eg. in

RANDOM mode or to stronger or weaker lightning of defined color in freely mode of work

SPL-3.

Code 650 turns off function WHITE BALANCE. This makes SPL-3 set for maximum

brightness for RGB colors for 799, 899, 999 codes.

Function WHITE BALANCE works in all SPL-3 modes of work.

Codes 660 and 669 determine the way of SPL-3 reaction for lack of DMX-512 signal in

all modes of work.

After one second of decay DMX-512 signal controller response in defined code entered.

The reemergence of DMX-512 signal at the inputs IN A and IN B causes an immediate return

to the control outputs CH1, CH2, CH3 data from the received signal DMX-512.

2.5. An example of typical config ration of the driver SPL-3

for working with DMX-512 signal:

001 - address DMX = 1 ( address CH1/R = 1, address CH2/G = 2, address CH3/B = 3 )

555 – work in DMX RGB mode

621 - active DIMMER on 4 canal DMX

630 – lack of STROBO function

650 – lack of WHITE BALANCE correction

661 – display program active while lack of DMX-512 signal

565 – medium speed of display program (colour changes)

575 – medium brightness of display program

Make sure these 8 codes are enter for requested work of SPL-3 controller.

The sequences is optional.
