AMX launches meeting room tool

AMX has unveiled Enzo, a tool to access, present and share information during meetings.

It can retrieve content from multiple locations including USB or cloud drives and web pages. Furthermore meeting participants can load files to a Dropbox folder and access in the meeting using a QR code. When the presentation is over the link to Dropbox is broken and the files are purged.

When meetings are over participants do not need to log out or wait for updates and the unit can be connected to an AMX control system for control and automation.

 This lift can be controlled via RS485 or relay. The pinouts are shown on the graphic below.

Baud Rate: 2400 kps - Data Bits; 8, Start Bits: 1, Stop Bits: 1

The default RS485 HEX Commands are as follows:

Command for UP -       0xFF 0xEE 0xEE 0xEE 0xC9

Command for STOP -    0xFF 0xEE 0xEE 0xEE 0xCC

Multiple lifts can be connected on a single RS485 line/bus.

If this is done then each lift needs to have a unique address.

When power cycling the lift, for the first 10 seconds the lift will be in address learning mode.

Use the following command to set the address:

0xFF 0x** 0x** 0x** 0xAA, where ** will be your new address. 

IE: 0xFF 0x01 0xEF 0x02 0xAA

Thereafter all commands need to be changed with the new address.
