DUO DMX Gateway Introduction INTRODUCTION DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a handling protocol used for event technology, so it is robust, fail-safe and built up simply. The standard as of today exists since 1990 and due to its wide spread distribution it offers a lot of functionalities by low asset costs.
DUO DMX Mounting Gateway MOUNTING The device can be used for installation in ceilings or alternatively for DIN Rail mounting. In case of ceiling mounting the device has grounding clips on each side. For DIN Rail mounting an additional adapter has to be used. The grounding clips can be broken off easily if wanted. Figure 1: DUO DMX Gateway with grounding clips DIN Rail Bar adapter The adapter is fixed on the chassis with 2 screws (part of delivery).
