DLT switch not work

Have found a problem with DLT switches were one switch in a six ganger will not work, when set as on/off dose not even sent messages to Cbus. The problem can be reproduced on all DLTs, and seems to be related to the memory block allocations. Attached pics show the non working and working setups.

DLT Scene Block Bug

Hi Dave,

This is a known issue as reported here:

Cheers,

So that means I have to check all DTLs are in the default order or only if a scene is used ????

Dlt No Go

Dave,
I have experienced a similar thing occuring with both DLT and Saturn series switches where i have had all of the block assignments, recall and debounce times corrupted when importing and exporting to V2.
In my case with the switches it altered all of the above settings to a point where i was unable to open the GUI's in toolkit and kept getting an "invalid value" message each time i tried to open it.
In the case of the Saturn, i was able to go back into V2, and set the values back to the factory default, but as you know, DLT is not supported by V2, so i tried deleting them from the Database, then added them again (as new units), and attempted to download to network to see if that would fix the problem.
I found it fixed 80% of the problem, but I could not get button 1 or 3 to function no matter what.
In the end I had to replace them with new units with a lot of lost time (=cost) involved.
I know CIS have, on a number of occassions have indicated that importing and exporting is " a little problematic", but when you have an installation with NIRT's, it is a little difficult not to due to the lack of toolkit support for the NIRT.
How wonderful it would be if all the software and hardware was compatible.

 

We feel the same way. Trust me, its something we're all losing sleep over.

1 Do you know if i have to check all DLTs or only those that have scenes.???
2 does the same thing apply to saturns ??

Also noted on faulty one that it did show any action on the App log so must not transmit.

Update.
looks like only those with scenes

No sorry, I dont know Dave.. Mark or Newman will respond on Monday morning.

 

This issue is specificilly related to scenes and reverse diagonal blocks (eg. Key 6 is a scene on block 7 and key 7 is on block 6 as shown in Dave's screenshot). Key 7 is actually working as a scene modifer on Scene 1. It will not occur if there is no scene.

DLT's only.

Cheers,
Mark.

 

Tks mark
I can tell form my documentation which DLTs have scenes so start checking them.
