C-Bus DMX Gateway (5500DMX) by Schneider Electric/Clipsal - Key Information & Selling Points

C-Bus DMX Gateway (5500DMX) by Schneider Electric/Clipsal - Key Information & Selling Points

2026-03-20
Model 5500DMX Key Selling Points
  1. Dual Application Versatility
    • Controls theatrical lighting/effects (smoke machines, spotlights) and standard commercial/residential lighting (LED downlights, LED strips, wall wash lights).
    • Enables C-Bus control of DMX-managed house and stage lighting (supplementary to DMX control desks).
  2. Flexible Address Mapping
    • Maps up to 12 C-Bus Group Addresses to multiple DMX-512-A Slot Address combinations (max 512 DMX slots per gateway).
    • Supports grouping multiple DMX loads (same control pattern) to a single C-Bus Group Address for simplified control.
  3. Robust DMX-512-A Compliance
    • Adheres to DMX-512-A standard for cross-manufacturer interoperability (communication/mechanical levels).
    • Supports a 455-metre maximum DMX cable length for extended network coverage, with daisy-chain only topology (industry standard).
  4. Seamless C-Bus Integration
    • Draws power (50mA) directly from the C-Bus network (15-36V DC input) with 40 kΩ AC input impedance; no power output to the C-Bus network.
    • Accommodates up to 40 units on a single C-Bus network, with 2500V electrical isolation between C-Bus and DMX for safety and interference protection.
  5. Convenient Design & Connectivity
    • Compact DIN rail mounting (4M wide, 93x72x65mm, 121g) for easy cabinet installation.
    • Comprehensive connectors: 2x RJ-45 for C-Bus, 1x terminal block + 1x 5-pin female XLR panel mount (with flying lead) for DMX.
    • Included 300mm DMX interface cable (bootlace connectors on one end, female XLR on the other) for immediate setup.
  6. Stable Performance
    • Operates in 0° to 45°C temperature and 10-95% non-condensing humidity, suitable for diverse indoor environments.
    • Supports standard DMX-512-A termination (120Ω resistor at the final network device) for signal integrity.
