As I read from the spec.
AL5001: Art-Net to 2 x DMX512 outputs
AL5002: 2 x DMX512 inputs to Art-Net

It is a one-way conversion on a single module, either from DMX-> Art-Net or Art-Net -> DMX

Because Art-Net II is supporting RDM (Two ways protocol).

Is it possible to completed the function by using single module (AL5001/2)?

If no, is there any reference design ?

Thank you very much.

Yes, an Art-Net output does support 2-way communication using RDM. It is referred to as a an output as its primary function is to send DMX. It does also get information back from the fixtures using RDM.
