Application examples

Modern lighting systems can be controlled efficiently

and conveniently with DALI. Their efficiency can be

increased even more when combined with the advan-

tages of KNX. That’s why KNX/DALI gateways from

Siemens offer both standards directly: for DALI digital

lighting (IEC ) and for KNX building control (ISO/

IEC - or DIN EN ). It’s possible to integrate

DALI lighting into KNX installations quickly and easily.

Benefits

• Lighting groups are not hardwire-connected

• Possible to plan control lines and power supply

separately

• Even, uniform load distribution throughout

the power supply network

• Lower fire load thanks to fewer cables

• Planning is simpler and faster

• Integration of emergency lighting into the

general lighting

• Support for selected sensors with DALI interface

• Switching off standby when lighting is turned off

• Replacement of defective single-channel ballasts
