OASE Fountain Technology / Lake Management – Catalogue
Power
The new RDM/DMX Technology operate as fol-
low: The WECS-Controller will send permanently
DMX – data flow. It is paused for a short moment
then one RDM-data package will be sent directly to
a component. The participant analyses the data and
sends an answer on the same line (Graphic DMX/
RDM). The targeted requesting (polling) avoids that
multiple participants are sending at the same time.
The protocol expansion has no effect on participants
without RDM.
The controller basically gets a reply for all RDM-
based data packages while …

With this new Technology, an automatic address plac-
ing is possible. It simplifies the implementation and
the error search and lower costs in the After-Sales-
section. Status requests are also possible (Malfunction
protocol, work hours counter, temperature, etc.).
Electrical control systems
The DMX-Technology make fountain effects
possible; Variation of the water pattern, RGB
colour changes, multidirectional movements of
interactive fountains.
The DMX-Bus now is bidirectional. This is pos-
sible because of the protocol expansion RDM
(
Remote Device Management).
The connecting technique stays unchanged!
Both existing connection (Pin 2 and 3) at the
established XLR-plugs are being used.
