Page 2
DLC-02 is a DALI-2 application controller to obtain the information of the DALI-2 system from DALI input device and control the DALI ECGs to make a lighting effect. Devices in the DALI bus can be scan, configure and set through the PC software. It also provides Modbus TCP communication protocol for the user to integrate the system, which is a simple way to install a DALI lighting system.

●Scan Assign addresses to devices connected to the DALI bus, and read back device parameters of the lamps and input devices. You can choose "New Installation" or "System Extension", as shown below: ※"Initial Installation": All devices on the DALI bus are re-addressed, but the previous parameters of devices remain unchanged.
