railSafe is a bidirectional DMX512/RDM isolator, signal booster and surge protection device, with a ‘data fixer’ for dodgy DMX. The product provides self-healing electrocution protection on the DMX512 ports and surge protection on all terminals. This protects connected equipment against lightning strikes. The surge protection is sacrificial, but the product reports spent protection with a front panel indicator and via the fault tally output. Crucially, when protection is spent, it shorts the DMX terminals, continuing to protect the DMX512 output. railSplit uno is powered from a 9 to 48 VDC power source. We recommend the PSU-24-0.75-FER.

In fix mode, the product discards all RDM and other specialist data packets. It also adjusts the DMX timing to values that are likely to be acceptable to fixtures that do not fully comply with the DMX standard.

The list below shows the fix mode features.

Automatic timing correction for DMX512.

Accepts breaks from 56µS to 1000µS

Accepts MaB from 5µS to 1000µS

Accepts MbB from 0µS to 1000µS

Accepts channel count from 1-512

Accepts refresh from 23mS to 1000mS

Filters out consecutive breaks

Re-times bytes with 1 stop bit to 2 stop bits

Generates DMX with fixed timing parameters: Refresh = 33Hz, Brk=250µS, MaB=30µS, P=30mS, C=512, MbB=30µS

Filters out all Non-Zero Start Codes
