continuously polls (reads) all the signals of the DALI ECGs and sensors to obtain updated readings for the
points configured in it (the corresponding points list is explained later in this document). With every read, the new
values received are updated in the gateway's memory and become available in the BACnet side.
When a change in any point configured as output in gateway is detected (this is, written from the BACnet side), the
corresponding action in the DALI device will be performed.
In the continuous polling process of the DALI channel, if there is no answer, it is indicated with a virtual signal of
communication error for this ballast in its line.
From the configuration tool, it is also possible to scan each DALI channel for available ECGs and/or sensors, add
them in configuration, and configure its individual parameters (short address, preset levels, scenes, etc), according
to their device type or instance.

There are 2 different models of Intesis
TM
BACnet Server – DALI with different capacity. The table above shows the
capacity for the top model (with maximum capacity).
The 2 different models allow integrating respectively: 1 or 2 DALI channels.
Their order codes are:
• INBACDAL0640200. Model supporting 1 DALI channel
• INBACDAL1280200. Model supporting 2 DALI channels
