Introdu c t i o n
2.

This documentation shows the technical possibilities of the DALI system for specific applications. It provides a detailed account of the numerous functions offered depending on the system's sensor configuration.

DALI - the standard

The new standard of the DALI protocol (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) defines digital communication between electronic ballasts and control units.When defining the standard, a firm option was taken not to develop a complex building control system with maximised functional capabilities, but to create instead a simple system with clearly defined structures. DALI is not designed for a complex bus system, but rather for intelligent, high-performance light management in a single room.These functions can of course be integrated into a building management system by means of suitable interfaces.

2.1

Industry standard
To ensure full compatibility between DALI components from different manufacturers, the DALI protocol is being standardised globally in accordance with IEC 929. This will create the basis for marketing and using DALI components worldwide without encountering vendorspecific, national, or technical incompatibilities. This standard is supported by globally-active and renowned companies.

2.2

Light control
Since the DALI protocol has been designed for rooms requiring professional light management, the following functions have been defined: Switching on / off Individual DALI electronic ballasts, groups or all electronic ballasts in a single system can be switched on / off. Dimming The dimmable electronic DALI ballast is equipped with a technical facility for dimming the lamp current logarithmically from 100% to 0.1% in 125 dimming steps (in practice, the lower dimming level is set at 3% so as to ensure that the lamp service life is not compromised). Up to 16 light scenes can be programmed and retrieved in a single DALI system. The DALI protocol can also be used to display and / or retrieve statuses of the electronic ballast or lamp.

Light scenes

2.3.

Digital control
The electronic ballasts are connected to the controller via two wires. Data packets consisting of 19 bits enable the controller to communicate with the electronic ballasts at a rate of 1200 bauds per second.

2.4.

Switching in the electronic ballast

The lamp is switched on / off in the electronic ballast. This means that there is no longer need to use power switches to interrupt the circuit.The 230 V supply voltage is always available at the electronic ballast and light can be switched or dimmed by means of a command via the DALI line.

DALI line

230 V

Figure 3

The fact that the 230 V supply voltage is permanently connected results in a power loss in each electronic ballast.This is negligible, however, when compared to the potential energy savings of the system considered as a whole.

2.5.

Addressability
Up to 64 addresses can be assigned in a DALI system. This means that 64 different electronic ballasts can be controlled independently of each other. Addressing must be performed after the system has been installed. The addressing procedure is depended by the controller.

2.6.

Light groups
The addressed ballasts or luminaires can be combined into light groups. Up to 16 groups are possible for each DALI line.

2.7.

Simple installation
No special wiring such as twisted pairs or special cables are required for installing a DALI line.Twin control wires in existing installations can also be used as DALI lines. Free installation A DALI system can be installed as shown in the next drawing, though it is important to ensure that the maximum voltage drop does not exceed 2V. Free installation

Characteristics of DALI
Planning DALI allows subsequent functional adaptation by the control units Installation Existing 5-pole cables can be used DALI means fewer control units and therefore less wiring; this in turn means lower total costs. Programming The programming feature offers new opportunities for installers.

DALI system
3.1. System description
TRIOS DALI is a room lighting controller. It can be used for the following functions: Daylight-controlled light regulation Movement-controlled switching Manual dimming via switches or IR remote control These functions can be set by means of the IRT 1090 remote programming control, used in conjunction with an appropriate sensor. Up to 5 independent light groups can be programmed. The TRIOS DALI controller is accommodated in a surface-mounted housing to which up to 20 electronic DALI ballasts can be connected via the DALI line. The system power of the individual DALI ballasts and groups of ballasts can be disregarded.

Switch and sensor lines

Switches are to be connected using conventional installation material for extra-low voltages (e.g. U 72 1x4x0.5). Pre-connectorised cable material is available for sensors and is described in detail below. If longer cables need to be installed or tubes are used, a cable of type U 72 1x4x0.5 can be employed. If long cable runs are needed it is advisable to use shielded cable.

Programming the TRIOS DALI

7.1. Defining terms

7.1.1.

Luminaire group
A luminaire group consists of one or more luminaires containing a DALI ballast.The addressing operation assigns an address to each DALI ballast or luminaire. Different luminaires can be combined into a single luminaire group (see Addressing the luminaires).

7.1.2.

IR channel
If one or more luminaires are combined into a luminaire group, this, in the case of TRIOS DALI, is known as a channel.There are five IR channels, numbered from "1" to "5". Each TRIOS DALI can switch and dim up to five channels individually.

Figure 9: Five channels, each can be dimmed individually

7.1.3.

PRESET
When the use of a room is changed, it is possible to change the lighting to match the new requirements. Work at a desk involving the use of a monitor for example, requires lighting quite different to that needed for a conference or for a presentation with a beamer. Individual ambiences, each tuned to a particular activity, can be created by dimming each channel and the required setting can be recorded as a "PRESET" or light scene (see Section 7.3).The personal light scenes can be instantly recalled by pressing the appropriate button of the ir transmitter. Up to four presets are possible.

Figure 10: Four presets Page 46/47

back to contents 7.

Group 7.1.4.
Infrared signals radiate in space in all directions.To avoid interference between signals which have different, independent functions in the same room addresses are allocated to infrared transmitters and TRIOS units. An infrared transmitter thus controls only the TRIOS units within its own group. Units with other group addresses are not affected. Seven groups are possible, identified with the letters "A" to "G". Each group has ist own five channels, with the possibility of generating PRESETS.The complete address of a TRIOS unit therefore consists of the channel address + group address.

7.2.

Allocating addresses and assigning them to a luminaire group

Addressing can be carried out after installation has been completed.This requires an IR receiver (IRR 8125, IRR 8124) and the IRT 1090 programming remote control or the IR wall switch IRT 8050.When programming is carried out, the luminaire or luminaire group gives a confirmation by lighting up and then dimming.

7.2.1.

Addressing with IRT 1090

The five steps 1 Press Mode 5 button All lamps light up to 100% Red LED on TRIOS flashes Lamps dim one after another to 3% One lamp lights up and dims 2 Channel selection Acknowledgement: lamp dims, next lamp lights up and dims up/down 3 Step 2 is repeated until all lamps have been addressed 4 Wait 10 seconds 5 Select group All lamps light up and dim It is important to ensure that the distance between the IR receiver and the IRT 1090 programming remote control does not exceed 2m. Signal transmission between the IRT 1090 and TRIOS can be tested by pressing the "P1" and "Off" buttons in succession. If the TRIOS does not respond, the cause may be one of the following:

Dimming channels and defining PRESETS

7.3.1.

Remote control IRC 2130

Light scenarios can comprise up to five individually dimmed channels with the TRIOS system. Once chosen, a combination of dimming values can be saved as a PRESET and recalled by simply pressing a button. The PRESET values are recorded in the individual TRIOS, not in the remote control device. Factory settings of the TRIOS DALI are P1=100%, P2=50%, P3=25%, P4=10%. The IR remote control IRC 2130 is a tool for controlling channels and presets.

Figure 15: Function keys of the IR remote control IRC 2130 The functionality of the five pairs of channel buttons depends on the duration for which they are pressed: Left: short duration = "Off", long duration = dimmer Right: short duration = "On", long duration = brighter The steps mentioned in Figure 15 can be used to define a new preset or to modify an existing one: Create the required lighting scenario by dimming the channels individually (1) Press "Save" (record) button (2) Press "Preset" button (3) The lighting scenario has now been recorded under this PRESET button and can be called up again at any time. The group address of the IRC 2130 infrared transmitter is set using the group selector switch in the battery compartment. "All groups" is used, for example, to implement a central function.

Remote control mode 1 mode 3 mode 2 mode 3 mode 1 mode 4 mode 2 mode 4

This feature can be used to create applications where automatic switch-on or switch-off to 0% is not required. Example: Security lighting in corridors or hospitals. Programming is carried out using the IRT 1090 or IRT 8050 remote control units. Each change of mode generates a confirmation.The luminaires dim and light up.

Notes on daylightcontrolled light regulation

8.1. Difference between "control" and "regulation"
Unlike a control unit, a regulator ensures that the required illuminance will be maintained. A control unit executes a command without recording the result. Example:Window blind control A regulator records the result of the operation and can correct it if necessary. Example: Radiator thermostat The process of checking the result of such an operation and comparing it with the required value is called "feedback" and distinguishes a regulator from a control unit.

8.2.

Principle of the light regulation circuit

Daylight and artificial light combine to provide illuminance at user level, i.e. generally speaking, on the working plane such as a desk or workbench.The process of automatic regulation of the output (luminous flux) of the lighting installation according to the varying contribution of natural light is destined to maintain constant the predefined level of illuminance on the working plane. This is achieved by the system making a continuous comparison between the required illuminance and the total illuminance resulting from the natural and artificial light reflected from the working plane and received by a sensor.

Figure 20: Operating principle of an automatic light regulation system

Page 56/57

back to contents 8.

In order to measure correctly the total illuminance, the light sensor must be placed directly above the user level (cf. Section 6.3). Any other positioning of the sensor would result in erroneous feedback to the system and consequently in unsatisfactory functioning. Section 6.8.1 explains how the required illuminance level can be set with the TRIOS DALI system. Correct operation of the regulating circuit can only be ensured if all the components in the circuit, i.e. regulator (e.g.TRIOS), ballast, lamp and sensor, are tuned to each other. Ideally they should be supplied by the same manufacturer, since, despite the extensive standardisation of the technology used, tolerances and differences in detail can occur between different manufacturers, and this in turn can result in functional problems.

8.3.

Daylight-dependent switching or dimming?

Automatic daylight-linked regulating systems save energy and costs by gradually dimming and extinguishing the lighting installation as soon as adequate natural light is available. Medical research and practical experience prove that a sudden drop of 10% in the illuminance level in a room has a disruptive effect on people present. If the artificial light in an office is suddenly switched off everyone will look up and concentration will be disturbed. Progressive dimming prior to extinction, balanced by increasing natural light, makes the switching-off operation virtually imperceptible as this occurs at a level much lower than the critical 10% threshold. The importance of the quality of an artificial lighting installation should be seen as being proportional to the acuteness of the visual tasks to be carried out in the room. In offices an installation with high-frequency operation and a daylight-linked dimming function is therefore recommended.

8.4.

Tips for positioning the light sensor

The light sensor must be directed towards a working plane which offers good and consistent reflection characteristics.

Figure 21: Sensor fitted above the working plane; the illustration shows a room with a window at the side. As explained in Section 6.2, the sensor must be fitted above the illuminated working plane, so that it receives light reflected form that plane. Since the sensor measures the total illuminance resulting from natural and artificial light, influences such as obstructions in front of windows, shadows caused by window blinds and ageing of the lighting system itself are automatically taken into account.

back to contents 8.

No direct light must reach the sensor. Direct light from the window must be avoided as must light radiated upwards by, for example free standing or suspended direct / indirect luminaires. Sensors are in fact best installed at the same height as the luminaires. Since the working plane serves as a reflecting surface, it should be used as a reference for the entire room and should not be subject to fluctuations in its reflection factor. It is, for example, not advisable to fit the light sensor directly above a light-coloured floor which is occasionally used for storing dark coloured goods.

Figure 22: Sensor fitted above areas with consistent reflective properties.

8.4.1.

Light sensor recording range

The design of the latest light sensors has been matched to the needs of modern office work spaces.

Figure 23: Light sensor sensitivity.

8.4.2.

Light regulation with lateral windows

Regulation close to windows As a general rule, daylight-controlled regulation is effective to a depth in the room which corresponds to approximately twice the height of the window. In office areas with usual dimensions, this distanced will be some 3 to 5 m. At points further from the windows, the penetration of natural light will be too low to be useful as a component of the overall illuminance for working. In case of doubt, a comparative measurement between the indoor and outdoor illuminance will help. If the different is less than 1%, regulation will not be worthwhile. Page 58/59

back to contents 8.

Figure 24 shows the recommended position for a light sensor in a room with a window at the side.

Figure 24: Sensor position in a room with window located at the side To prevent direct light falling on the sensor, the installation aids moulded on the sensor components should be aligned as shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25: Alignment of the installation aids moulded on the sensor components. There may never be sufficient daylight in the shadow of large cupboards or machinery. Such zones must not be used as reflecting work planes for installation and setting of light sensors.

Figure 26: No daylight regulation over areas in shadow.

back to contents 8.

8.4.3.

Regulation of overhead lights

Full coverage possible In rooms where overhead lights are arranged at regular intervals (e.g. sheds with double-ridged roof), daylight regulation of all luminaries is generally a good solution. The sensor can be fitted anywhere.

Figure 27: Sensor position in a hall with overhead lighting Here, too, areas which are in shadow should remain unregulated, and the sensor should be installed above a surface (work plane) offering the most constant and representative reflection properties.The LRL 8101/20 can be used for room heights up to 8m.

8.5.

Multiple regulation zones in a single room

Safety distance prevents interference between the zones A large room or hall is best divided into several regulation zones.The subdivision can be based on the division of the room itself, otherwise 100m2 - 200 m2 per zone is a useful value. The regulation zones must not be allowed to influence each other. Light sensors should therefore be positioned in the centre of their respective regulation zone wherever possible.The distance to the nearest luminaire in the adjacent regulation zone should not be less than the installation height of the sensors.

Figure 28: Minimum distances where multiple regulation zones are used Page 60/61

Daylight-controlled regulation 8.6.

The TRIOS DALI multifunctional light controller LRC 1620 is ideal for daylight-controlled regulation. The following illustration shows the operating cycle.

Figure 29: Regulation cycle for dimmable luminaires With increasing daylight the total of the natural and artificial light matches the value of total illuminance calibrated in the controller. The calibration procedure is described below.TRIOS DALI regulates the artificial light continuously until the minimum dimming setting is reached, ensuring that the required illuminance level is constantly maintained. As soon as the total illuminance exceeds 1.5x the preset level ,a waiting time of 15 min. is initiated, and TRIOS DALI then switches off the artificial lighting .This combination of limit value and waiting time is preprogrammed into TRIOS DALI to obviate unnecessary and disturbing switching on and off of the lighting in response to momentary and minor changes of weather conditions. If the circuit is designed with an automatic re-activation feature TRIOS DALI will switch on the lighting installation again as soon as the daylight level falls below the fixed threshold .The dimming sequence then ensues in reverse order ensuring constant illuminance balancing decreasing natural light and increasing artificial light .

back to contents 8.

8.6.1.

Master / slave programming

Connection of a light sensor informs the TRIOS DALI controller that daylight-linked regulation is required. By assigning channels 1 and 2, it is possible to obtain a 'master / slave' circuit.The master luminaires nearest the window will automatically dim as daylight increases. The slave luminaires, installed further from the windows where the daylight penetration is less, will also dim but not to so low a level as the master luminaires.When adequate daylight is available the master luminaires will automatically switch off and the slave luminaires will be dimmed further. Maximum energy saving is achieved whilst a balanced lighting level is constantly maintained over the whole room.

Programming the master / slave circuit Channel 1 on / off Channel 1 up / down Master / slave luminaires switch on or off This function can be used to set the reference light level of the master (regulation is switched off during this process) Channel 2 on / off Channel 2 up / down No function in this application This function can be used to set the level of the slave luminaire relative to the master luminaire.The level can be set as identical, lower, or higher. Generally it will be higher

Setting the required value

Fast setting, can be changed at any time; using IR remote control. Preparations: Obscure the windows. Measure the artificial light level (illuminance) with a lux meter. If it is not possible to exclude natural light, measure the illuminance of the natural light on the working plane below the light sensor with the artificial light switched off. If the value lies above the required level of illuminance, the measurements must be made again after nightfall With the artificial light switched on, measure the illuminance on the working plane. Setting: If an IR remote control or RC5 Push button interface + switch is connected: Set the required value by pressing the channel buttons (light up / dim). Five seconds after the time the last button is pressed,TRIOS DALI records the new illuminance level set as the required level.This level can also be recorded a PRESET: up to four different PRESET levels can be recorded for push-button selection.

Settings can be changed at any time; using a screwdriver. Settings can also be carried out on the light sensor when using dimmable systems, but this is a relatively complicated operation compared to the processes described above. The red LED indicates the operating range of the sensor, though this is not relevant for fine adjustment. While the unit is adjusting, ensure that nothing obstructs the detection area of the sensor. If the LED does not light up, position the sensor over a brighter surface. Preparations: Obscure the windows the artificial light level (illuminance) with a lux meter. If it is not possible to exclude natural light, measure the illuminance of the natural light on the working plane below the light sensor with the artificial light switched off. If the value lies above the required level of illuminance, the measurements must be made after nightfall. With the artificial light switched on, measure the illuminance on the working plane. Setting: Lighting level too low: Turn the screw in counter-clockwise direction until the required level is obtained. Lighting level too high: Turn the screw in clockwise direction until the required level is obtained.
