What is DALI ?

ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH - Folie 5

The subject DALI is a synonym for a standard, independent

of the manufacturer to control electronic ballast devices
(ebd`s) and lamps the digital way
Members of DALI:
ABB, BAG, CEAG, DELMATIC, DIAL, ECKERLE, ERC, ERCO, ETAP, GEWISS,
GITRONICA, HADLER, HELVAR, HCO, INSTA, JOHANSON CONTROLS,
LIGHTOLIER, LUTRON, LUXMATE, MAY&CHRISTE, NIKO, OSRAM, PHILIPS

DALI Technology

ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH - Folie 8

Some Features

64 DALI Components in one System

Up to 16 Groups

Up to 16 Light Scenes

Dimming via logarithmic characteristic Curve

(like human Eye)

Control of individual Devices or Groups

Simultaneous Control of all Devices (Broadcast-Mode)

Status Feedback (Lamp on/off, actual Brightness Value,

Lamp- and Ballast Fault)

Operation with DC - Power (Emergency Light)

 ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH - Folie 9

Why DALI ?

DALI is a worldwide Standard

Unique Features

Strong Growth in the last Years

Trend in Lighting Control goes to Dimming and Constant Light

Control (Energy Efficiency)

Lamps with Ballasts (Flourescent and LED) and Dimming will be

DALI in Future

Growing Market of LED-Lighting will enhance this Effect

Coulored Lighting and Light Effects need smart Technology

Why DALI ?

Simple Wiring

Flexibility

Status Feedback (Lamp- and Ballast Fault)

Integration of Emergency Lighting, no separate System

ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH - Folie 19

Combining KNX and DALI

DALI is specialized in Lighting and a Standard

KNX is covering almost all applications Together a strong

solution

All other Lighting related KNX-Devices can be used (Push

Buttons, Touch-Panels, Light sensors, ) Less Components

No DALI Power Supply, no DALI-Controller easier
