DALI (Digital Addressable Lightning Interface) is a protocol that allows communication between the end elements of an installation (in this case, luminaires) and the control system, regardless of the technological solutions used. Created as an alternative to traditional control systems based on 1-10V, it allows control of individual luminaires, or a specific group, using peripheral devices or a PC using a single two-wire cable. The digital addressing protocol (DALI) is a modern way to control lighting. In cooperation with dedicated devices, it becomes ideal for use in intelligent installations in all kinds of buildings. The construction, features and capabilities bring to mind that it is a universal system with very high potential for expansion and designed to work with any type of lighting, which makes more and more companies reach for solutions in this field.
DALI (Digital Addressable Lightning Interface) is a communication protocol for controlling lighting elements in installations. It allows individual luminaires or groups of luminaires to be controlled using digital addressing over a two-wire cable.
The main advantages are the ability to address each luminaire individually, simplicity of installation through a two-wire cable, versatility of use, high expansion potential and compatibility with different types of lighting.
DALI is an alternative to traditional systems based on 1-10V. It allows more precise control by digitally addressing each luminaire individually, whereas older systems only allowed groups of luminaires to be controlled.
The DALI system is ideal for all types of buildings requiring intelligent installations, such as office buildings, hotels, shopping centres, industrial buildings and public buildings.
The system consists of a master controller, peripheral devices (sensors, control panels) and terminal elements (luminaires with a DALI interface). All components are connected by a two-wire communication cable.
Yes, DALI can be integrated with other building automation systems.
