DMX lighting control ! - phongvucba - 31.03.2026
Hi everyone! I have a project that uses this kit and I want to integrate it with my LM. Can I connect it?
It's this kit; can I connect it to the LM via the RS485 port?
Thank so much everyone!

What exactly do you want to integrate? Do you need to control DMX lights from LM? In this case you should use LAN connection instead of RS-485. Use this example that directly maps group addresses to DMX channels: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthread.php?tid=1391&pid=8511#pid8511

That's right! I want to control DMX lights from an LM. Can you show me how to connect via LAN? And why should I choose LAN instead of RS485?
Because I saw an example of connecting via RS485 here:

Thank so much !

Yes, you can connect LM directly to DMX-512 bus via RS-485. LAN method is preferable because the script will consume less CPU resources especially when many lights are connected. Your Art-Net converter should have some tool for IP and DMX port configuration. Check the device manual.
