1. IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server – DALI Description

This do ument des ribes the integration of DALI ballasts in BACnet ompatible devi es and

systems (ANSI/ASHRAE 135 – 2001 / Annex J - BACnet/IP), with the use of IntesisBox

BACnet/IP Server – DALI devi e.

The ending of this devi e is:

Providing a DALI physi al hannel with the ne essary bus voltage (about 15V) and

urrent regulation (max. 250mA).

Setting the proper onfiguration values of the DALI ballasts (addresses, groups,

max/min levels, …).

Performing ontrol and monitoring of the DALI ballasts in the DALI bus from a

BACnet/IP-based ontrol system or devi e, so that the ballasts be ome part of the

own BACnet system.

A onfiguration software tool, Lin BoxBacnet, is provided with IntesisBox, allowing to

perform all setup tasks related to onfiguration of DALI ballasts, setting needed BACnet/IP

parameters (IP address, TCP port, …) as well as providing basi monitoring of the

integration at setup time.

On e set up, the gateway a ts as a BACnet/IP Server devi e in its BACnet interfa e,

allowing other BACnet/IP lient devi es to perform COV subs ription requests, and reading

or writing its internal BACnet obje ts. These obje ts provide ontrol of the DALI ballasts

onne ted to IntesisBox.

This do ument assumes that the user is familiar with BACnet and DALI te hnologies and

their te hni al terms.

1.1 DALI interface

DALI (Digitally Addressable Lighting Interfa e) is a standard defining a set of fun tionalities

and requirements to be fulfilled by lighting ballasts. DALI ballasts ommuni ate as well

using the same proto ol (DALI proto ol), defined in the standard and supported by

IntesisBox.

From a fun tional point of view, DALI ballasts provide following features:

Digital ontrol of a tual ar power level (dim level)

oControllable either individually, or by previously defined groups of ballasts.

oSet to arbitrary power/dim levels between OFF and 100%, or previously

defined “preset” levels (s enes).

oUsing predefined fade rates/times upon power level hange.

Reporting of their a tual status

oMainly for dete ting failure onditions of the ballast or the installation.

A single DALI hannel supports up to 64 ballasts, being this one the maximum number of

individual ballasts that an be integrated with a single IntesisBox.

The DALI hannel needs a power sour e, whi h will be provided by IntesisBox itself. As per

the requirements of the standard, nominal bus voltage provided by IntesisBox is 15V, and

has a urrent limiter of 240/250mA.

Ea h DALI ballast has an own permanent storage memory, where it stores its own

onfiguration values. These values an be read, set and hanged using IntesisBox at setup

time. They are the following:

Short Address (Individual address / Address for individual ontrol)

Random Address (Unique address providing a way of addressing a ballast without

assigned individual/short address)

Physi al Minimum Level (read-only/defined by ballast manufa turer)

Minimum Level

Maximum Level

Power-on Level

System Failure Level

Fade Rate

Fade Time

Group membership (a DALI hannel an have up to 16 groups and ea h ballast an

belong to any number of them at the same time)

Level for s ene 0…15 (up to 16 s enes/preset dim levels an be onfigured within

ea h ballast)

Configuration of all ballast parameters an be done with IntesisBox, using Lin BoxBacnet

software onfiguration tool. Usage of this tool is explained in detail in se tion 3.

Information on DALI te hnology and a list of existing ballast manufa turers an be found at

AG DALI asso iation’s website (www.dali-ag.org).

1.2 BACnet/IP interface

DALI ballasts onne ted to IntesisBox are a essible by means of its BACnet/IP server

interfa e.

Ea h DALI ballast is abstra ted at BACnet side as a set of BACnet obje ts, using types

Analog Input and Analog Output. The value they represent is always a essed in IntesisBox

by means of its BACnet Property Present Value.

For ea h ballast, following is the list of its related BACnet obje ts:
