Gerald Rosemary Corey Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Tried firing up our display and the second half of the CCRs won't light up. We have 12 LOR boxes (old style) and 12 CCRs. Using the newer RU485 and the lights are totally freaking out! Random firing, won't turn off even when we turn off the programs. Have to unplug the Cat5 cable to stop them. Tried the old 485B and the regular lights run but not the CCRs. Need help quickly, Please! Do we need to run two separate Comm ports and cables??

steve synek Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) How many networks have you set up? What network speed? When you say old LOR boxes, what does that mean. There are now 3 versions of boards.Are you testing the lights by a show, in the SE? Have you run the Verifier? What does the 2nd half of the CCRs mean..........6 ribbons or 12x 1/2 of the ribbon works and half doesn't? It sounds like you need to run at least 2 networks. (yes to 2 com ports and 2 cables) A high speed for the 12 CCRs and the rest on a separate network. In SE.....look under edit, preferences, Network preferences also tools, chanel configuration, - botom row "change controller" will let you change the network for a controller (one at a time) with out having to reprogram all your sequences.

Gerald Rosemary Corey Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 #of networks: 2 Regular and Aux A Speed: 115.4 on Com 5 for the regular network and 57.6 K for the Aux A where the CCRs are.Controllers are CTB16PC Testing lights in SE Did check them in the Hardware Utility and it found all of them then when we went to run a sequence it freaked out with the newer RJ485. When using the old 485B the regular lights worked and the first 6 CCRs did also Did not run the verifier If we run the two cables then I assume the CCRs will be on the faster new RJ485 on Aux A and Com 9 and the regular lights on the Regular network on Com 5?? Thanks for your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve synek Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 If you are in SE, are you running it with both adapters connected? You must connect both adapters or the programing will be all jumbled trying to control the lights (by my experience anyway).I would suggest if you have a high speed adapter, to connect the CCRs on that adapter at the 500 speed and trying the rest of the controllers at the 57.6 speed on the old adapter.

Gerald Rosemary Corey Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Mission accomplished! Did get the high speed adapter hooked up to the CCRs and the other one to the controllers. Program is running flawlessly tonight for the visitors! First night and people are coming. Thank you for your help! Have a great season!
