Technology and Innovation - The DALI system
The DALI system (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) allows you to group different light sources under a single line and control them together.
The DALI system (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) allows you to group different light sources under a single line and control them together. It represents a communication standard for digital lighting fixtures, based on the international standards IEC 62386. Some examples of devices include LED drivers, dimmers, sensors, and many others.
Each lighting fixture is associated with an address and it is possible to control the switching on, light intensity, luminous flux power, and operating status of this (or a group of fixtures), making it easy to detect any faults.
In addition, the DALI system guarantees great energy savings and reduced management and maintenance costs of the system, since once the system is started, it is managed automatically as it can be programmed or managed via presence sensors/illuminance sensors, which send on/off and increase/decrease illuminance signals to the control unit.
The connections of this type of system are made through a BUS cable, that is, a special type of cable for the transmission of data and digital signals. The "DALI" lighting devices have inside them LED drivers, presence sensors, illuminance sensors, dimming systems, and other technologies capable of controlling the various required lighting scenarios.
In this way, the DALI system allows you to create in every environment a dedicated and ideal scenario based on the type of function to be performed inside it.
Below is a typical diagram of the system.
