Proprietary solutions Lighting/DALI management
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)
Advanced features for Pure field level protocol
Application specific lighting control • Mostly used in combination
protocol for lighting • Tests of lamps and ballasts with system standards like
systems KNX
• Special functionality for
emergency lighting • No standardized IP interface
KNX & DALI
KNX is the most common Some KNX/DALI gateways Up to 64 DALI devices can
way to integrate DALI have multiple channels be connected to 1 channel
Using KNX, DALI can be connected to
Building Management Systems (BMS) DALI data and information are
• Visualization, monitoring, maintenance of
provided as KNX group objects
lighting control • Objects for lighting control (on/off,
dimming, status, ...)
• Objects for maintenance (trigger tests,
providing test results, ...)
KNX/DALI gateways are used
to interconnect the DALI bus • Objects for emergency lighting control
(emergency status, emergency tests, ...)
to KNX
KNX/DALI gateways: challenges - KNX group object mapping for DALI
To avoid this, only parts of the
High number of functions and functionality are available for each
high number of devices per DALI device
gateway would result in a high • Group objects per DALI device:
number of KNX group objects on/off, dimming, status, ...
at the gateway • Group object per channel: trigger
function tests, test results, ...
Stateful communication is required to get
all information per device, e.g. DALI tests
KNX/DALI gateways: challenges - manufacturer-specific implementation
There are many different manufactures Only standard functionality is common to all
for KNX/DALI gateways DALI gateways (on/off, dimming, ...)
Advanced features like DALI testing are
manufacturer-specific
Time-consuming and complex task for
• Manufacturer-specific non standardized DPTs
integrators and electrical engineers
• Manufacturer-specific, stateful communication logics are
required
