It's not AMX... It's not MPX... It's not Luma-Net... It's not Micro-Plex. Nope, it's Leviton's weird control standard. I'm working at a school that had the Macro Dimming System installed (modular cabinet, convection cooled, no fans, by Leviton). Instead of installing an industry standard (and this was only fifteen years ago), the system uses DMS (Designer Memory Station) controllers and what I think is a proprietary and obsolete protocol. Pins are as follows.
1) +12VDC
2) DCC
3) Shield
4) Data
5) Data
DMX can be converted to analog and AMX... what are the chances of this being a similar situation? Some kind of Arduino project?
The end goal would be to potentially use a DMX board with the dimmer rack (40ish dimmers) instead of the DMS board.
I've attached the specifications for the MDS system, and a copy of the blueprints for this specific installation. This is a really lofty goal, but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
With that said, if I'm absolutely crazy, I would appreciate being told that too.
*on the installation specific file - look to pages 6/7 and 12/13*
