24138923 Standards

DALI standard

The DALI USB is designed to control control gear with DALI standard IEC 60929 (DALI V0) and IEC 62386 (DALI V1).

Glow-wire test

according to EN 60598-1 passed.

Common

The interface module DALI USB is used to connect Personal Computers directly to the DALI network.

This means that complex DALI lighting control solutions can be easily addressed and programmed and that the parameters of the ballasts can be changed.

Attention

The DALI USB cannot be used together with winDIM.

Installation

• DALI signals are not SELV. Therefore the same procedures should be applied as working with mains voltage.
• Only plastic screws may be used for fastening.
• Individual DALI circuits must not exceed 250mA (depends on the used DALI Power supply).
• The maximum cable length of the DALI signal wires must not exceed 300m or drop more than 2V on the signal line voltage.

24138923 Wiring

Wiring type and cross section

For wiring use stranded wire with ferrules or solid wire. For perfect function of the cage clamp terminals the strip length should be 4 – 5 mm for the input terminal. The max. torque at the clamping screw (M3) is 0.2 Nm.

To get a proper working strain relief it is recommended that the cable jacket diameter of the side D2 is 2 mm bigger than the diameter of the side D1. (This can vary if the used cable jacket material varies from side D2 to D1 in
pinching property).

Miscellaneous

According to the WEEE directive return old equipment at appropriate collection facilities.

A DALI-USB interface acts as a crucial bridge between a computer and a DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) system, allowing for the commissioning, addressing, configuration, and diagnostics of DALI luminaires and devices. It enables PC software, such as DALI Cockpit or Tridonic software tools, to control and monitor DALI bus traffic.

Key Features and Functions:

Addressing & Configuration: Used to assign DALI short addresses, create groups, and set scenes for lighting, notes Lunatone and Tridonic.

System Monitoring: Supports monitoring of DALI communication, allowing for troubleshooting and analysis of bus messages.

Power Supply: Many models have an integrated DALI bus power supply (typically around 30mA), eliminating the need for a separate power supply for small testing installations.

Compatibility: Supports standard DALI-1 and DALI-2 protocols.

Connection: Connects via USB to a PC and features terminals for the 2-wire DALI bus, notes this PDF document.

Safety: The interface typically provides galvanic isolation between the USB port and the DALI line, ensuring computer safety, notes DALIwarehouse and this PDF document.
