RDM device management
MADRIX RADAR is software that remotely addresses, configures and monitors RDM-enabled luminaires 24/7; it notifies you by email when a value goes out of range.

If there are hundreds of luminaires on a facade, you should not have to climb scaffolding to see which one is overheating, which one’s address has shifted, or which one is about to fail. RDM-enabled luminaires can report their own status; MADRIX RADAR collects this information, makes sense of it and alerts you when needed.
Instead of addressing the luminaires one by one before mounting, address them from the computer after they are in place. RADAR finds all RDM devices on the network and automatically patches the devices in a universe or across the whole address range; you arrange the order by drag and drop. In highlight mode the selected luminaire lights up full white, so you immediately see which one it is on site.
RADAR automatically monitors temperature, voltage, operating hours and status messages every day of the year. When a value goes out of range, it notifies you in the software, sends an email or runs a PowerShell script. With the big data license, the data history is stored; a device about to fail is replaced before it fails, and the maintenance budget is planned in advance.
All RDM devices connected to MADRIX STELLA and STELLA 8 are unlocked free of charge in RADAR. On other brands’ RDM nodes, the free fragment license unlocks parameter settings; for all functions including monitoring, fusion small (64), fusion medium (512) and fusion large (4,096) licenses are used depending on the number of devices. We explain how RDM works on the DMX line in our DMX512 guide.
Highlights
Scans all luminaires connected to RDM nodes on the network; in highlight mode the selected luminaire lights up full white.
The DMX start address, operating mode and other settings are changed from the computer; no need to reach the luminaire.
Luminaires in a universe or across the whole address range are addressed automatically; the order is arranged by drag and drop.
Temperature, voltage, operating hours and status messages are checked automatically every day of the year.
For an out-of-range value it notifies you in the software, sends an email or runs a PowerShell script.
With the big data license, sensor data is stored and changes over time are tracked in graphs.
All parameters in ANSI E1.20 and ANSI E1.37-1, including manufacturer-specific ones, over Art-Net (ArtRdm).
All RDM devices connected to MADRIX STELLA and STELLA 8 are unlocked without an additional license.

Remote Device Management is two-way communication with the luminaire over the DMX512 line. Commands are sent to the luminaire (address, operating mode) and information is read from it (temperature, voltage, operating hours, error messages).
It is free for all RDM devices connected to MADRIX STELLA and STELLA 8. On other brands' nodes, the free fragment license unlocks the parameters; paid fusion licenses, depending on the number of devices, are required for monitoring and event reports.
With any luminaire that supports RDM (ANSI E1.20), including manufacturer-specific parameters. You can check your luminaire's RDM support in its datasheet or ask us.
No. RADAR finds and addresses all luminaires from the computer after mounting; the DMX start address can also be changed after installation.
When a value goes out of range, RADAR shows a notification in the software, sends an email or runs a PowerShell script you define.
