I assume you mean the manual contacts on the LD11 ..??......Currently if i
need to operate dry contacts to switch 240xv  i would use  xPL-DMX  since i
have the Dmx controller and relay board....and xPL has a Dmx plugin.....im
sure the something similiar applies to xAP and others....
No Cbus .........????
