Page 21
ProCommander® AX Pin Assignment
ATTENTION!
The 24V may not be exceeded in any case. Thus,
if the power supply has a ripple in the voltage, the
peak voltage must not exceed 24V.
ANALOG IN 1-4/ DIGITAL IN 1-8
The ProCommander
®
AX has four analog and eight digital
inputs for connecting external dry contacts for the purpose of
logic evaluations or show starts. Inputs 1-4 are analog inputs,
which can evaluate voltages from 0-10V with a 12-bit resolution.
The query of the inputs is also available via the "GET" commands
(see ASCII chart).
A level change of individual inputs can trigger show starts,
if shows are stored on a microSD card. The assignment of the
shows to the different inputs can be defined in the Control.ini
file. Please refer to chapter "Control.ini" for more information.
ANALOG 1-4 (0-10V Output)
The ProCommander
®
AX has four 0-10V analog outputs
with a 12-bit resolution are available. The maximum current per
output is 10mA. Additional output current available from our
Pro I/OTM Analog 8.
DIGITAL OUT 5-8/ PWM 5-8
The ProCommander
®
AX has four digital open collector
outputs. Outputs 5-8 can be utilized additionally as PWM
outputs. Switching to PWM output is done automatically by the
ProCommander® AX, as soon as the channel is controlled by
21
Page 22
22
ProCommander® AX Pin Assignment
the control software with an analog- or an ASCII-command. The
PWM resolution is 12-bit.
If inductive loads (relays, solenoids, etc.) are connected, it
is essential to ensure that a free-wheeling diode is mounted
parallel to the load in the reverse direction (see diagram).
Otherwise the output drivers are destroyed. The common
cathode of the internal free-wheeling diodes is brought out on
pin 9 of the upper plug DIGITAL IN. Thus, if the internal free-
wheeling diodes are to be used, this must be connected to the
positive terminal of the external power supply.
ATTENTION!
The maximum current per output must not exceed
500mA. Do not use inbound power supplies of
higher than 24VDC.
LINE OUT
An external audio amplifier can be connected to the line-out
outputs of the ProCommander
®
AX. A parallel operation with
the internal amplifier is possible under certain conditions, and
depends on the connected external amplifier. If necessary, the
function must be independently tested and verified.
LS-OUT
The ProCommander
®
AX has a built in 2x20W Class D
amplifier. At the two outputs LS-L (left channel) and LS-R (right
channel), either 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers may be connected.

ProCommander® AX Wi-Fi Configuration
5 ProCommander®AX Wi-Fi Configuration
The configuration of the ProCommander® AX Wi-Fi is
similar to the setup of a typical IOT device. First connect to the
ProCommander® AX setup SSID and then add our preferred
WLAN to the other WLAN profiles. Up to five WLAN profiles
can be stored in a Wi-Fi module of a ProCommander® AX.
5.1 Setup Wi-Fi Configuration
For configuration of the Wi-Fi settings you can use the
ProCommander® AX Wi-Fi web interface. Therefore you
have to connect the ProCommander® AX via Wi-Fi with your
computer, scan for the "ProCommander_AX" Wi-Fi, which is
by default a combination of "PC_AX" and the serial number
of your ProCommander® AX, which can be found on the label
underneath the device or via the Weigl Configurator in the line
"Serial Number: XX.XX.XX.XX". The password is "PASSWORD"
by default. After establishing a Wi-Fi connection, open up a web
browser and type "192.168.1.1" into the URL.
43
The username is "admin" and the password is "PASSWORD"
by default.

Analog MIN- and MAX-value
6 Analog MIN- and MAX-value
For each of the four 0-10V analog-channels, the four servo-
channels, as well as for the four PWM-channels a minimum and
maximum value can be adjusted.
So the voltage range, servohub or the PWM-value can be
circumscribed. Hereby, it is important to consider that after the
start-up all four analog-values have the voltage level 0V. The
eventually adjusted minimum value will be set at the output
immediately after the booting of the ProCommander® AX. This
takes a few milliseconds.
!san…# is the command for the minimum level. The
resolution of values is in 0.01%-steps from 0 to 10000. The
command !san1=1055# sets for the analog-channel 1 to a
minimum value of 10.55%. The minimum value must not be
higher than the maximum value. If a higher value will be entered
the minimum value will be set to the adjusted maximum value.
In this case, the analog-output remains at the adjusted value.
49
!sax…# adjust the maximum value, whereby the same
criteria as for the minimum value apply. The resolution is also in
0.01% steps from 0-10000 and the maximum value must not be
less than the minimal value. !sax2=9023# sets for the analog-
channel 2 the maximum value to 90.23%. The maximum value
must not be lower than the minimum value. If a lower value is
entered, the maximum value will be set to the level of minimum
value.
!qmm# lists all channels with their min and max values at
once.

Variable
7 Variable
With variables decisions can be made, conditional show
starts or counter can be realized.
Variables can be manipulated inside a show or through
external events. Possible actions are setting a value of a variable
or executing mathematical operations like add, subtract, multiply
or divide. A variable can also be loaded with the content of
another variable.
Basically there exist two types of variables, RAM-variables
and EEProm-variables. The RAM-variables are only valid during
the runtime of the device and lose their content after power off.
After power up, they are set to the value 0.
The EEProm-variable keeps their value also after power off.
Therefore, they can be used for example as a show-counter.
ATTENTION!
Although both types of variables may be handled
in the same way, RAM-variables should be used in
general, if there is no need of saving the content
after power off.
The variables are addressed by a number, where the numbers
1 to 70 refers to the 70 RAM-variables and the numbers 71 to
100 the 30 EEProm-variables.

Control.ini
8 Control.ini
The Control.ini file is a new and easy way to assign different
input events to any of the available ASCII-commands without
any special show programming. It is even possible to assign an
input event to several successive commands. An input event
may be a change of the remote inputs, a time event or a variable
change.
A level change of the remote inputs may be defined as
"close"-event (means activation of an input), "open"-event
(deactivation of an input) or "toggle"-event (every level change
at an input). With toggle, both the press and the release of a key
action will cause a trigger event.
If the device has resources to process the commands, all
functions of the ASCII-protocols are available. They have to
follow instantly the entry event. Further commands have to
start with the "!" exclamation mark. After the last command a
"#" hash tag has to be placed (see example).
The Control.ini file can be created with any text editor. After
completion, it should be copied into the main directory (root
directory) of the microSD card.
ATTENTION!
During execution there is no complex syntax check.
Therefore, the programmer is responsible for correct
command syntax.
53
Page 54
Control.ini
8.1 Structure of the Control.ini file
It must always start with the definition of the input event. As
a start condition either an "!i: Input events", "!t: Time events"
or "!v: Variable events" can be used.
ATTENTION!
The limit is one trigger event per line.
Only variable conditions can be combined in one
line. If you need a combination of several trigger
events you have to do this via variables.
8.1.1 !i: Input events
Event related to the digital inputs 1-8.
Example:
!i1c!...# -> if input 1 is activated (c=close), then the
downstream command will be executed.
54
!i1o!...# -> if input 1 is deactivated (o=open), then the
downstream command will be executed.
!i1t!...# -> if input 1 changes (t=toggle), then the
downstream command will be executed.
8.1.2 !t: Time events
The internal timer of the clock starts counting with zero
seconds, zero minutes and zero hours at the moment the device
is powered up. With insertion of the microSD-card, this clock is
also set to "0" zero.
Page 55
Control.ini
Each time value must be entered in the format
minutes:seconds. Hours must be converted to minutes. A time
of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 20 seconds should be formatted as
135:20.
The character after the "t" determines the way the time
should be interpreted.
m is the absolute time after powering on the ProCommander
AX or after the insertion of a microSD card. After each removal
or new insertion of the card the time is set to zero.
& means "modulo" which means, that any time the value is
reached the command is executed.
Example:
!tm01:20!…# -> if the time 1 minute 20 seconds is reached
after the start-up or plug in of the card, then the downstream
command will be executed.
!t&05:00!…# -> all 5 minutes the downstream command
will be executed.
®
8.1.3 !v: Variable events
For basic information about the variables read the chapter
"Variable".
After each change of a variable the Control.ini file is checked,
if an event is assigned to this variable.
55
If this variable condition is true, the following command will
be executed.
Page 56
56
Control.ini
Immediately after the input event, the command definition
has to follow.
Example:
!vcc1=1!...# -> if the variable 1 has the value 1, then the
downstream command will be executed.
You can assign several commands to an input event. In this
case, attach the additional commands. The total number of
characters of a command line must not exceed 150 characters.
ATTENTION!
AFTER EACH #-CHARACTER A NEW COMMAND
LINE HAVE TO BE BEGUN.
The following command combination cannot be
interpreted properly and therefore it will not be
executed correctly:
!i1c!rsn1#!i2c!rsn2#
The correct Control.ini looks like this:
!i1c!rsn1#

8.2 Case studies
8.2.1 Project 1 – The first show runs in a loop and
is interrupted by the second show every 45
minutes
The project consists of two show files. The first show (001_
SHOW.WM1) runs in a loop and is interrupted every 45 minutes
by the second show (002_SHOW.WM1). After the second show
ends, the first show restarts. This will be repeated till, the device
is turned off or the card is removed.
The content of the Control.ini file looks like this:
!tm00:00!rsnl1#
!t&45:00!vcc1=1!rst2#
1st line: At time 00:00, right after power up of the device or
insertion of the memory card (!tm00:00), the first show (001_
SHOW.WM1) will start in loop mode (!rsnl1).
58
nd
2
line: Because the command (!t&45:00#) is already true at
power up or insertion of the card, a variable !vmc1=1# needs
to be included in show 1. So every 45 minutes, this variable will
be checked, if the value is 1 (!vcc1=1). If the condition is true,
the second show will be started in terminate mode, i.e. all other
shows will be stopped. In this example the loop of show 1 is
interrupted. With a !rsa1# command at the end of the second
show, the first show starts again.

8.2.2 Project 2 – Three switches trigger three shows
ATTENTION!
The limit for an input event is one per line.
Only variable conditions can be combined in one
line. If input combinations are needed it has to be
done via variables.
This project consists of three shows and is triggered with
three switches.
The first show should start, if switch 1 and 3 are closed and
switch 2 is open.
The seconds show should start, if switch 1 and 2 are closed
and switch 3 is open.
The third show should start, if switch 1 is open and switch 2
and 3 are closed.

The project has one area. The area can be filled with four
different recorded voice sounds, which are German, Spanish,
French and English. The languages can be changed with a
rotary switch. So four shows have to be created.
The area is activated with switch 1. The pins of the rotary

8.2.4 Project 4 – External control of a VU-meter
display
The project consists of one show, which is triggered by
each contact closure via input 1. Therefore the restart mode is
required.
In show 1 there are four variable decrement commands
(!vmc-1#) with a time gap of one second. If LEDs are connected
on the digital outputs, each time the button is activated another
LED is illuminated similar to a VU-meter display. If the button
isn't activated, the variable will be decremented by the variable
commands in the show and the LEDs turn off.
The content of the Control.ini file looks like this:
!i1c!rsr1#

8.2.5 Project 5 – One pushbutton controls five shows
This project consists of five shows, which are controlled by
one pushbutton. After each actuation of the pushbutton a new
show is started.
Therefore the command !vmc1=X# has to be inserted
at the end of each show, whereby the character X has to be
incremented in each show by one.
In this example the command !vmc1=1# will be inserted at
the end of the first show, !vmc1=2# at the end of the second

Folder structure of the Flash Card
9 Folder structure of the Flash Card
To begin shows, audio files, folder and file names have to
follow a predefined order.
Generally, only one subdirectory is supported.
All shows must therefore be in the folder "SHOWS". The first
three characters of the show name must have a number in the
range of 001-999. The remaining 5 characters do not matter.
Leading zeros in the range from 001-099 are required. The file
extension must be "WM1".
Example:
001_SHOW.WM1, 023_TEST.WM1, 320_PLAY.WM1
By using this order, remote access to the shows can be done
very easily just by number. This can be used for starting shows
within a show as well as for calling shows from outside by a
corresponding definition in the Control.ini file.
The same syntax applies to audio files. These must be stored
in the folder "AUDIO". The naming of the audio file is analogous
to the show files. The file name has to begin with a number
between 001 and 999 followed by any 5 other characters. The
file extension must an WAV audio format.
ATTENTION!
Weigl X Series devices support only the WAV audio
format.

11 Network Connection Communication
11.1 Network Connection between
ProCommander® AX and Pro I/O
The ProCommander® AX commands an intern chart, which
associate each "Sub-Device-ID" of a Pro I/OTM module with an
IP address.
By default for all modules broadcast addresses are adjusted,
which read in all commands, independently of the adjusted
IP address of the Pro I/O
address adjustment (A1, A2, …) of a device, each Pro I/O
module analyze only the own commands.
If it's necessary to assign individual IP addresses, so that
conflicts with other devices in the network can be avoided, the
values of the charts can be modified.
Two commands are available for that. On the one hand the
global command !swi…# and on the other hand the individual
command !spi…#.
With !swi…# a consecutive numbering takes place for all
Pro I/O
TM
modules, beginning with the entered start-IP address.
With !spi…# each module can be assigned to an individual
address. These commands can be assigned via the configurator.
TM
modules. Because of the Sub-Net
TM
TM
71
!spp1=22202# sets the port of the Sub-Device-ID with the
ID 1 to 22202.
!gpo1# gets the port of the Sub-Device-ID 1.
Page 72
Programming the ProCommander® AX
72
ATTENTION!
If the communication between the ProCommander
and the Sub-Device is not working, please check the
intern chart, if all values of the IP address and port
of the Sub-Device are set correctly and correspond
to its Sub-Device-ID in the chart.
Example:
For the "Sub-Device-ID" address 1 the IP address
192.168.10.150# is chosen. The command reads as followed
!swi192.168.10.150#.
It assigns automatically IP addresses in ascending order for
all 32 possible modules on the ProCommander® AX. With the
command !gpa# the intern chart can be called.
®
Page 73
Programming the ProCommander® AX
In this case the result looks like this:
73
Now, all IP addresses of the Pro I/OTM modules have to be

ATTENTION!
If in the same network two or multiple ProCommander
are in use, different IP addresses for all devices have
to be assigned for their Pro I/O
TM
modules.
Example:
For the second ProCommander
®
the first Pro I/OTM module
will be assigned with the IP address 192.168.10.182 with the
command !swi192.168.10.182#. With the command !gpa# the
intern chart will be called, these looks like this:

All IP addresses of the Pro I/OTM modules which are
connected with the second ProCommander® have to begin with
192.168.10.182.
ATTENTION!
More detailed information to configure a Pro I/O
module can be found in the manual for the Pro I/OTM
modules.

11.2 Network Connection between
ProCommander® AX and another
ProCommander® AX
Instead of using a Pro I/OTM module as Sub-Device-ID
another ProCommander® AX can be used instead.
Therefore the Sub-Device-ID of the ProCommander
which should be controlled by another ProCommander® AX has
to be changed from 0, which means its in the ProCommander®
mode, to a Sub-Device-ID from 1 to 32, which means
the ProCommander® AX can be controlled by another
ProCommander® as it would be a Pro I/OTM module.
With the command !ssid1# the Sub-Device-ID can be
changed to 1 in the command line of the Weigl Configurator. In
the display the "A:0" will change to "A:1", for further information
on the display please refer to ProCommander® AX Display.
As soon as the ProCommander
mode the device can be controlled like a Pro I/OTM module through
the Sub-Device-ID network communication. Please refer to
Network Connection between ProCommander® AX and Pro I/
OTM for setting up a Sub-Device network communication.

ProCommander® AX F.A.Q.
14 F.A.Q.
Why should I run a Firmware Update on my Weigl device?
Please do so, if you want that your Weigl device is capable
of all the latest features and able to interpret the new ASCII
commands correctly, which have been developed lately.
Is there any reason why the control.ini will not be executed,
although the commands are correct?
After each "#"-character a new command line have to be
begun. For further information please read the example in the
"Control.ini" chapter. Or check out our latest examples at www.
Weigl.support.
Please run also a Firmware Update on your Weigl device
to ensure that your device is able to interpret the latest ASCII
commands.
Even though I've read the manual, I still have questions
what can I do next?
