DALI gateways connect an Ethernet-based control system to DALI lighting buses and support DALI-2, DALI version 1 devices, and supported Type 6 and Type 8 fixtures. DMX gateways connect the system to DMX-controlled devices through one or two DMX universes, making them suited to installations that use DMX-based creative lighting equipment.

Choose a one-universe gateway when the project uses a single DALI bus or DMX universe and does not require additional lighting-control capacity. Choose a two-universe configuration when the system needs two DALI buses, two DMX universes, or a combination of one DALI bus and one DMX universe, while also considering available DIN-rail space, power requirements, and planned expansion.

Plan for an Ethernet connection to support TCP/IP communication between the gateway and the lighting control system, along with the appropriate DALI bus or DMX universe wiring for your installation. The gateway uses a 24-volt, 60-watt power supply, while DALI installations also require a power supply and line breakout for the DALI lines; DIN mounting and 12-way plug-and-play connectors help organize field wiring.

Creative lighting gateways connect Ethernet-based control systems with DALI or DMX lighting networks, helping integrators manage lighting through compatible automation software and TCP/IP communication. Models with one or two DALI buses or DMX universes provide flexible capacity for projects that may expand, while DIN-rail mounting and pluggable connectors can simplify installation changes.
