5. 작동 모드
The CR011R-3pin supports bi-directional operation, allowing it to function as both an ArtNet to DMX converter and a DMX to ArtNet converter.
5.1 ArtNet to DMX (DMX Output Mode)
In this mode, the device receives Art-Net data over Ethernet and converts it into DMX512 signals, which are then output through the 3-pin XLR port to control DMX-compatible lighting fixtures. The blue LED indicator will stay on (no blinking).
5.2 DMX to ArtNet (DMX Input Mode)
When configured for DMX input, the device receives DMX512 signals from a DMX controller via the 3-pin XLR port and converts them into Art-Net data, which is then transmitted over Ethernet. This allows DMX consoles to control Art-Net compatible software or devices. The blue LED indicator will blink continuously.
To switch to DMX input mode, set the 'Transmit mode' to 'artnet <- dmx' via the OLED display or DMX Workshop.

8. 문제 해결
- DMX 출력/입력 없음:
- Verify the 'Transmit mode' setting on the device or via DMX Workshop. Ensure it matches your intended operation (ArtNet to DMX or DMX to ArtNet).
- Check DMX cable connections and ensure they are secure.
- Confirm that the DMX universe setting on the device matches your lighting control software. Note that some software may label the first universe as '1' while the device may internally refer to it as '0'. Adjust accordingly.
- 네트워크 연결 없음:
- Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected and the green Link LED on the RJ45 port is illuminated.
- Check the IP address, subnet mask, and other network parameters configured on the device and your computer/network. Art-Net typically uses a specific IP range (e.g., 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x) and subnet mask (e.g., 255.0.0.0).
- If connecting directly to a computer, manually configure your computer's network adapter to be in the same IP range as the device.
- Confirm that your network allows UDP traffic on Art-Net's default port (6454).
- 장치 전원이 켜지지 않음:
- Ensure the USB-C power cable is securely connected to both the device and a functional 5V power source.
- 결함이 있는 액세서리를 배제하기 위해 다른 USB-C 케이블과 전원 어댑터를 사용해 보세요.
9. 유지관리
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pknight CR011R-3pin, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- 청소: 기기 외부를 닦을 때는 부드럽고 마른 천을 사용하십시오. 액체 세척제나 용제는 마감재나 내부 부품을 손상시킬 수 있으므로 사용하지 마십시오.
- 저장: 사용하지 않을 때에는 직사광선이나 극한의 온도를 피해 서늘하고 건조한 곳에 장치를 보관하십시오.
- 케이블 관리 : Ensure all cables are routed properly to prevent strain on the connectors and accidental disconnections.
