DALI
field bus module for lighting systems
Please observe the information for the PCD firmware version and the PG5 version on the support page.
DALI master interface module
DALI is a communication system for lighting control, standard-
ised in accordance with IEC 62386-101/102. It was originally de-
veloped for stage technology and today it is used in a wide range
of applications including building automation systems. Installa-
tion is easy. The DALI Bus simply needs 2 unshielded wires which
can be threaded through the same cable along with the power
supply, generally 230 V.
The light parameters are standardised. All upstream devices
therefore have the same parameters for dimming, grouping and
scenes, irrespective of the type of lighting.
The DALI master module includes the Bus power supply for up to
64 DALI participants. The extensive PG5 FBox library has function
modules for commissioning, operating and servicing with the
PLC program. External software tools or other components are
not required.
Smaller DALI controls can be implemented with the PCD1.F2611-
C15 E-Line DALI module. Detailed information about this small
controller can be found in the E-Line chapter.
