IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server – DALI
1. IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server – DALI Description
This document describes the integration of DALI ballasts in BACnet compatible devices and
systems (ANSI/ASHRAE 135 – 2001 / Annex J - BACnet/IP), with the use of IntesisBox
BACnet/IP Server – DALI device.
The ending of this device is:
Providing a DALI physical channel with the necessary bus voltage (about 15V) and
current regulation (max. 250mA).
Setting the proper configuration values of the DALI ballasts (addresses, groups,
max/min levels, ...).
Performing control and monitoring of the DALI ballasts in the DALI bus from a
BACnet/IP-based control system or device, so that the ballasts become part of the
own BACnet system.
A configuration software tool, LinkBoxBacnet, is provided with IntesisBox, allowing to
perform all setup tasks related to configuration of DALI ballasts, setting needed BACnet/IP
parameters (IP address, TCP port, ...) as well as providing basic monitoring of the
integration at setup time.
Once set up, the gateway acts as a BACnet/IP Server device in its BACnet interface,
allowing other BACnet/IP client devices to perform COV subscription requests, and reading
or writing its internal BACnet objects. These objects provide control of the DALI ballasts
connected to IntesisBox.
This document assumes that the user is familiar with BACnet and DALI technologies and
their technical terms.
