Introduction

This document describes the integration of DALI-2 lighting ballasts and sensors with BACnet/IP or BACnet/MSTP

protocol compatible devices or systems using the gateway Intesis BACnet Server - DALI.

The aim of this integration is to monitor and control DALI-2 lighting ballasts and sensors (see section 2 for specific

DALI parts), remotely, for your Control Center using any BACnet based control system or device, as if it was a part

of the own BACnet system and vice-versa.

The gateway acts as a BACnet/IP Server or BACnet MSTP device in its BACnet interface, allowing other BACnet

devices to perform subscription (COV) requests and reads/writes to its internal points.

Up to 64 addresses for DALI lighting devices (ECGs), and another 64 addresses for Sensors can be fitted in a single

DALI channel, and therefore controlled and monitored from Intesis gateway. Depending on the version of the

gateway, 1 line (64 addresses for ECG and 64 addresses for Sensors) or 2 lines (128 addresses for ECG and 128

addresses for Sensors) are supported.

Version supporting 2 DALI channels does not have support for BACnet/MSTP – it’s a BACnet/IP-only device.

Intesis needs to be configured using Intesis MAPS software configuration tool. In the software, BACnet and DALI

lighting device parameters must be configured and downloaded to the Intesis gateway.

This document assumes the user is familiar with BACnet and DALI technologies and technical terms.

control systems (product version supporting 1 DALI channel)

NOTE: Intesis is compatible with Ballasts and sensors implementeing DALI-2 standard

and certified under DiiA guidelines for testing and certification. Use only DALI-2 devices

having the DALI-2 logo with Intesis.
