  • Automatic DALI device modelling in AX
  • No data IO mapping and labelling required, reduced commissioning time and risk
  • Use with any DALI product manufacturer’s conforming to the DALI IEC 62386 standard
  • Significantly the most Vendor independent solution available
  • Lowest in use for CO2 emmissions*

*As per EU Sustainability Report, details available on request.

What is DALI®?

  • DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is the only global IEC 62386 communications standard for intelligent light fittings.
  • Up to 64 individually addressed DALI light fixtures maybe connected on a single and simple two wire network, to be communicated with individually or collectively or in groups.
  • These DALI fixtures can then be instructed, by sending commands along the two wire network, to turn ON, OFF, Dim Up, Dim down.
  • Addition operational status information is available from each DALI fixture confirming its ability to operate effectively or to confirm a fault condition.
  • Many of these DALI networks may be connected to a suitable Niagara AX platform and a further expansion of the lighting networks can be achieved by networking the Niagara AX platforms.
  • There are hundreds of DALI light fixture product manufacturers worldwide from LED to Fluorescents. Up to one million DALI devices are manufactured every single day. See www.dali-ag.org.
