1INTRODUCTION
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a control protocol in the event technology and therefore has a solid, reliable
and simple design. The standard in its current form has existed since 1990. Due to its popularity, it
offers a wide range of functions at low acquisition costs.
The DUODMX GATEWAY has a network interface (LAN and WLAN, depending on the variant) and two
independently configurable DMX outputs (DMX worlds) with 512 channels each, allowing you to
control, for example, two rooms/areas separately.
The DUODMX GATEWAY can be operated as a DMX master or slave. The gateway sends DMX packets in
master mode and receives them in slave mode.
Nine different device variants position the DUODMX GATEWAY ideally for usage in almost any required
scenario. The device is used as DMX gateway for KNX® or EnOcean® systems but can also be operated
as a standalone device –straight with a native App for iOS® and Android® smartphones for particularly
easy operation.
The professional configuration software not only enables you to dim individual channels, but also to
program complex sequences.
The DUODMX GATEWAY is highly suitable for subsequent installation as a device installed in the ceiling.
A corresponding adapter is available for top DIN rail installation.
In addition to the recessed ceiling version, the DUODMX GATEWAY is also available as REG (Modular
device (REG) housing 4 units).
2THE GATEWAY
The DUODMX GATEWAY is a ceiling installation device, and its compact size also enables specific
installation situations. The REG variant (Modular device housing), on the other hand, is for installation in
distribution boxes. The device has 2 separate DMX interfaces which are controlled separately.

rename it to “ config.par ”.
Insert the SD card into the slot of the DUODMX GATEWAY
during operation. The status LED of the device will go out for a
short while for reading the data.
As soon as the green status LED is on again, the configuration is loaded.
Please note: Only SD cards with FAT file system format are supported!
Third and last step of the network configuration:
Restart the device by pressing the power button.
Open the DMX-Configurator and check, as described in the steps above, whether the new IP
address settings have been applied to the DUODMX GATEWAY. From now on, you can transfer
any configuration changes directly via the network (see chapter “ Transmission of configuration
files” ).

4.5 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE VERSION
Important notice: Please check for the most current version for both modules (software and
firmware).
Reading the software version
The version number of the DMX-Configurator can be read from the title bar of the window.
Figure 12: DMX-Configurator version
Reading the firmware version
Use the Search function in the LAN/KNX tab, LAN/EnOcean tab or WLAN tab in the Extension menu to
find out which firmware your device is using (see also chapter “ Activation of the (DMX) preview” ). The
firmware version is displayed together with the IP address and the device name.
Figure 13: Display of the firmware version
If your device does not have the most current firmware version, you must make a firmware update (see
chapter “ Firmware update ”). Once your DUODMX GATEWAY has been equipped with the firmware
2.0.0.1 or higher, the configuration data can only be transmitted by the DMX-Configurator 1.6.0.0 or
higher.
Older project data
Projects from older software versions can be opened with the current DMX-Configurator without any
problems. If you have commissioned your DUODMX GATEWAY with an older DMX-Configurator version,
this version must be reloaded to the DUODMX GATEWAY once more using the current DMX-
Configurator (1.6.0.0 or higher).

4.6 DEVICE BEHAVIOUR IN CASE OF POWER
FAILURE
Device behaviour in case of power supply failure
The behaviour of the DMX end devices in case of power supply failure at the DUODMX GATEWAY
depends on the end devices. According to the DMX specification, components will switch to a save
operating status (e.g. lamp off). Once the power supply has been restored, all DMX channels are
switched to the value “0”.
Behaviour in case of bus voltage failure (only KNX/TP device)
If the bus voltage fails but the power supply of the devices can be maintained, only the control of the
DUODMX GATEWAY is interrupted. The DMX signal is still sent so that the current “image” of the DMX
output is maintained. The restoration of the bus supply does not change anything for the DMX (unless
there are new KNX telegrams).

DUODMX GATEWAY
5PROGRAMMING
The DUODMX GATEWAY is programmed via the DMX-Configurator . In the DMX-Configurator , scenes are
created which connect group addresses or EnOcean profiles with the dimmer channels or the scenes.
The configuration is transmitted to the device via the network or via the SD card.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: In case that the DMX-Configurator cannot find the DUODMX, you must deactivate
all network interfaces except for the currently used network interface!
5.1 ACTIVATING THE (DMX) PREVIEW FUNCTION
Together with the DUODMX GATEWAY, the DMX-Configurator software offers the so-called Preview
function. In the preview, any changes made to the DMX channel controllers are directly visible on the
DMX device. Thus it is possible to directly test and change the sequences and scenes, if necessary,
without having to transmit the configuration beforehand.
Note: Please note that the DMX preview permanently sends values until the DMX-Configurator is closed
and the preview is activated. If you tried to control the DMX channels via the corresponding bus system
during the transmission of values, the commands of the bus system would be overwritten by the
activated preview. So make sure to use either the preview or the appropriate control system (KNX/TP,
KNXnet/IP, EnOcean).
There are two preview variants:
1. Broadcast preview: All DUODMX devices within the network are addressed by the preview,
irrespective of the network settings and whether they comply with those of the PC on which
the DMX-Configurator has been started. The preview signals are transmitted to the network by
broadcast.
2. Unicast preview: Only the selected DUODMX GATEWAY receives the preview signals. In this
context it is important to make sure that the desired gateway and the PC are within the same
network range. The signals are transmitted to a certain IP address by unicast.
You can also determine for which of both DMX outputs the preview signals are provided. Got to
Extension > DUODMX GATEWAY to activate the preview.
The DMX-Out 1 and DMX-Out 2 preview functions stand for the DUODMX GATEWAY interfaces 1 and 2.
Activating the broadcast preview
In order to activate the broadcast preview, you just have to select one of the two check boxes DMX-
Out1 or DMX-Out2 (or both) and acknowledge your selection with OK. From now on, the preview
signals are sent to the network via broadcast and are being run by all available gateways (figure at the
top of the next page. Orange arrow).
