Intr oduction 1 A MX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Programming Intr oduction The AMX Lighting Control System employs a dual-platform programming system using the Axcess and PR Olink software programs to control the dimming of electroni c ballasts, incandescent lamps, low v oltage track lighti ng, and a host of new transformers.
Introduction 2 AMX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Programming PROlink wall panels PR Olink wall panels are av ailable for direct co nnection to the AMX Lighting system. PR Olin k panels do not rely on an AXlink connection. PROlink panels hav e an internal fixe d program that is powered from the PR Olink connector on the AMX Lighting controller .
Intr oduction 3 A MX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Programming The first of a t en pack PR Olink system can have one of the 255 AXlink addresses. That means that a single AXlink address can control 60 channels of dimming or an entire PR Olink system.
Introduction 4 AMX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Programming All this communication takes milliseconds of time . The AXlink buf fer sends data to the PROlink buf fer , receives commands from the PROlink b uffer , receiv es data from the Axcess Central Controller , and connects AXlink lev e ls to an Axcess Central Contro ller .
Intr oduction 5 A MX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Programming One way to solv e many of these problems is to a pply dif ferent control curves to each dimmer and to provide a v ariab le lo w- end cutof f point.

Appendix B: AMX Lighti ng Curves 40 AMX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Pr ogramming of f-state at level 0 to an on-state at le vel 10 0. Dimmer output is measured in volts. A graphical representation of a dimming curve is usually the percent age of dimming in relation to the output voltage (RMS) of the dimmer co nnected to a standard load.
Appendix B: AMX Li ghting Curves 41 A MX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Pr ogramming Each curve allo ws a dimmer to change its output characteristics in rela tion to the amount of dimming. For example, the standard dimming curve at 50% could make a light brighter than another curve also at 50%.
Appendix B: AMX Lighti ng Curves 42 AMX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Pr ogramming The RAD-VDR module uses a combination of the s econd and third dimmer characteristic to send a variable lo w-voltage control signal along with a single switched output. This mod ule is commonly used for control of dimmable flu orescent ballasts.

Appendix B: AMX Li ghting Curves 51 A MX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Pr ogramming FIG. 38 shows the output v oltage of Curve B applied to the RAD-VDR mod ule. The turn on voltage is 2VDC and rises to 10VDC. This curve can be used with 0-10 VDC dimming ballasts.
Appendix B: AMX Lighti ng Curves 52 AMX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Pr ogramming FIG. 41 shows the output v oltage of a RAD-MC120 dimm er . Curve D is an alternate v ersion of Curve A. It rolls of f the high end slower and exte nds the dimming range in the m iddle with a sharp roll off starting at 25% dimming lev el.
Appendix B: AMX Li ghting Curves 53 A MX Lighting PROlink/AXlink Pr ogramming FIG. 43 shows the output v oltage of the RAD-VDR module. This is an incandescent dimmer always on, starting at Le vel 9. Relay turn on lev el = 09. The RAD-VDR module wi ll output 12 VDC above Le vel 09.
