WEINZIERL KNX DMX Gateway 544

Description

Introduction

The WEINZIERL KNX DMX Gateway 544 (Art.-Nr. 5358) is a compact interface device engineered to bridge KNX TP bus installations with DMX512 lighting control protocols. Designed for DIN rail mounting at a width of just 1 module (18 mm), this gateway facilitates seamless bidirectional communication between standard KNX system components and professional DMX lighting equipment across up to 64 freely configurable channels.

Operating in either Master or Slave mode, the device allows KNX push-buttons or touch panels to manage DMX fixtures, or conversely allows DMX lighting control consoles to manage KNX actuators. System integrators and consultants can verify exact technical specifications using official documentation, ensuring accurate BOQ matching and project execution while avoiding wrong orders.

Key Features

• • Bidirectional KNX to DMX512 gateway (RS-485, 250 kBit/s)
• • ETS 5 and ETS 6 software compatibility for fast database integration
• • Compact 1-module (18 mm) DIN rail plastic housing
• • Supports up to 64 dimming channels or 8 RGB/RGBW channels in Master mode
• • 4 internal sequencers and up to 8 scenes per channel
• • Diagnostic controls: 2 buttons, 3 multicolor LEDs, and red KNX programming LED
• • KNX TP Bus powered (approx. 4 mA) with 12…24 V DC DMX supply

Benefits

• • Versatile Bidirectional Integration: Supports Master mode to control DMX devices via KNX commands, or Slave mode to evaluate up to 64 DMX512 addresses for KNX actuator control.
• • Flexible Lighting Control: Offers up to 64 dimming channels or up to 8 RGB/RGBW channels, enabling relative/absolute dimming, threshold switching, and individual color or HSV attribute control.
• • Embedded Automation Tools: Features 4 integrated sequencers and up to 8 recallable scenes per channel to execute complex lighting sequences.
• • Space-Saving DIN Rail Design: Compact plastic housing occupies only 1 module (18 mm) on standard DIN rails, optimizing panel space.
• • Efficient Power Management: Powered directly via the KNX TP bus (approx. 4 mA) with a 12…24 V DC external supply for the DMX side interface.
• • Reliable Procurement Matching: Detailed manufacturer reference data (EAN 4260262773586) ensures exact matching against official project specification lists.

Applications

• Stage & Architectural Lighting Control: Integrates complex DMX stage fixtures and RGB/RGBW decorative lighting into unified KNX automation systems. Explore more WEINZIERL KNX solutions for professional building automation projects.

• Centralized Control Console Bridging: Allows professional DMX lighting control desks to command room lighting connected to KNX actuators in commercial or venue spaces.

• Technical BOQ Specification: Suitable for system integrators matching exact KNX gateway requirements with official database files and CAD models.

Installation Notes

• Mount the device on a standard DIN rail within a distribution enclosure. The plastic housing requires a width of 1 module (18 mm). Connect the KNX TP bus connector, which draws approximately 4 mA, and connect an external 12…24 V DC power supply to the DMX terminal block.
• Commissioning must be performed using ETS 5 or ETS 6. Download the official WEINZIERL product database, user manual, and CAD models prior to setup to ensure correct channel configuration, scene assignments, and address mapping.

Developer Resources

• Official documentation for the WEINZIERL KNX DMX Gateway 544 includes the ETS 5/6 product database, technical data sheet, user manual, CE declaration, 3D CAD models, and tutorial videos directly from WEINZIERL.
