RE-DM4 and RE-DM6 RADIA Eclipse Dimmer Modules

SEND_COMMANDs

The Radia Eclipse firmware supports the SEND_COMMANDs listed in the table below. The number of
SEND_COMMANDs is expected to grow as we transition away from using the SEND_STRING method of
controlling Radia dimmers.

Note that most SEND_COMMANDs do not have responses. With those that do, they respond with a
COMMAND, not a string.

Conventions used in this protocol section of the document include:

Ramp Preset Up (NEW)

This function ramps up the specified or currently active (last recalled) preset until the ramp is stopped or the all
dimmers in the preset reach 100%.

If <preset> is not specified, then the last recalled preset is ramped.

The ramp rate for this function is the default ramp time as established by the 'RT' command.



Only dimmers that are assigned a level greater than 0 in the preset are ramped.



Dimmers with a level of 0 and Undefined dimmers are not affected by the PU command.
