Introduction

This document describes the integration of DALI lighting ballasts into KNX TP-1 home automation systems using the
Intesis KNX to DALI communication gateway.
The aim of this integration is to monitor and control DALI lighting ballasts, remotely, from a KNX home automation
system, as if it was a part of the own KNX installation and vice-versa.
In current version of the device, following DALI device types are supported:
•
DALI Fluorescent lights (DALI type 0)
•
Emergency lights (DALI type 1)
•
LED modules (DALI type 6)
All of them, regardless of its type, will be referred as 'ballasts', 'DALI devices' and 'ECGs' (Electronic Control Gears)
indistinctively throughout the document.
Up to 64 DALI lighting devices can be fitted in a single DALI channel, and therefore controlled and monitored from
Intesis.
Intesis needs to be configured using Intesis MAPS software configuration tool. In the software, KNX and DALI lighting
ballast parameters must be configured and downloaded to the Intesis.
This document assumes the user is familiar with KNX and DALI technologies and technical terms.
NOTE: There may be differences in the implementation of DALI among different
ballasts and manufacturers. Intesis is compatible with Ballasts implementing the DALI
!
standard and certified under the DiiA guidelines for testing and certification. Use only
DALI devices having the DALI logo with Intesis.
