7
By default, system 7 is configured for radio mode.
4.1.
Radio Mode
As previously mentioned, the R2D7 is capable of controlling up to 420 unique motors.
When using RF, this becomes 5940 motors.
See “RR24 User’s Guide” and “RFTM User’s Guide” for more information on radio
products.
4.1.1.
Training the RR433
As with all other radio transmitters, before the RR433 will respond to commands from
the R2D7’s RFTM, each RR433 that will be controlled by the R2D7 must be trained.
The first step is to identify the systems that will be controlled by the R2D7. Each
group of RP60’s that is bussed together is considered a system (see figure 4.1.1.1).
Note that in our example, the three systems are arbitrary. They must be numbered
from 7 or higher, but we could have given each system any number we wanted.
Once the systems have been identified, commands need to be created from the RS-
232 source for each system. In our example, three commands would need to be
created, and for simplicity’s sake, we will use the “Stop” command. The three
commands would be: “*12s;” and “*13s;” and “*14s;”
For each system, follow the instructions in the “RR433 User’s Guide” to put the
RR433’s on that system into “Learn” mode (one system at a time).
Tip:
Especially when dealing with systems containing multiple RR433’s, or when the RR433
is located a long distance from the RS-232 source, it may be easiest to reset the
RR433, causing the “Learn” light to remain on until the first signal is seen.
Send the command for that system from the RS-232 source, i.e. send “*12s;” when
the RR433’s on system 12 are in learn mode, etc. The lights on the RR433’s in that
system should go out. Repeat these steps for each system of RP60’s.
4.1.2.
Controlling Motors
Controlling motors in radio mode is identical to bus mode, except that the system
number may range from 1 to 99.
