Hello & help with connecting RS485 controllers to SL-8000

[Craig]

The RS485 output on the SL-8000 runs from the SD Card only. I would suggest you start by running you show directly from the Show Designer, with the SL-8000 connected to the Ethernet and the RS-485 devices connected to the computer via the USB-RS485 lead (i.e. RS485 devices not connected to the SL-8000). You will need to create 2 networks in the Shows Designer, one for the RS485 and one for the Ethernet.

Once you have your show running, export your show to the SD Card of the SL-8000, then connect the RS-485 devices to the SL-8000.
