PowerGATE Guard

DMX-over-Powerline converter with up to four optically isolated DMX ports, Ethernet input, and IP44 protection — ideal for retrofitting DMX into existing AC power infrastructure

PowerGATE Guard is a smart DMX converter that uses DITRA’s PWRDMX technology to transmit DMX signals over existing 110/220V AC power lines, eliminating the need for new control cabling. This makes it an ideal solution for retrofitting historic buildings, architectural monuments, and embedded lighting systems where traditional wiring or wireless connections are impractical.

The unit supports a broad range of protocols including DMX512, RDM (ANSI E1.20), ArtNet (1–4), sACN, KiNet (v1, v2), and RTTrPL. It includes a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port for data input and remote configuration. Up to 4 optically isolated DMX ports are available, eac
