Building Lighting Control: DALI Applications

The DALI protocol is used in building automation to control individual lights and lighting groups. Assessment of individual lights to operating elements and grouping of lights are performed via short addresses. A DALI master can control a line with up to 64 devices. Each device can be assigned to 16 individual groups and 16 individual scenes. With bidirectional data exchange, not only are switching and dimming possible, but status messages can also be returned to the controller by the operating unit.

 

DALI maximizes flexibility by easily adjusting lighting control (via software without hardware modifications) to new conditions (e.g., changes in room layout and usage). Lighting can also be assigned or grouped after installation (e.g., changes in room usage) easily and without rewiring. In addition, advanced DALI controllers can be integrated into higher-level control systems and incorporated into complete building automation systems via bus systems such as KNX, BACnet or MODBUS®.

Flexible, Convenient Lighting Control: 

DALI System masterfully stages your lighting: from simple switching and dimming, to daylight-dependent lighting control, to complex constant light controls of the lighting system – via a centralized or decentralized system.

 

The range of products includes the DALI Multi-Master Module and various power supplies. DALI Configurator provides simple commissioning and configuration of DALI network devices. SATURN also offers a wide range of multi-sensors to detect both motion and brightness.

Our DALI products provide you with flexible lighting control solutions. Various controllers with different bus systems such as BACnet, KNX or MODBUS® and numerous modules within the SATURN -I/O-SYSTEM meet the most diverse automation requirements for the seamless integration of different building systems.

 

The Pluggable Connection System makes it possible to implement scalable solutions for convenient lighting applications. DALI signals are distributed quickly, securely and without errors and passed on to the lighting
