DALI Gateway
In addition to the DALI connections, the gateway also has a LON Twisted-Pair interface with Free Topology Transceiver,
as well as an Ethernet interface.
The TP/FT interface is intended for connection of up to 64 LON control units
via an Ethernet interface. The LON DALI Gateway usually communicates with a superior light management or building
automation system by means of LON over IP, via an Ethernet interface. Other DALI Gateways are also being addressed in
this way.
By means of the integrated Ethernet interface, a hierarchically very even but powerful interface, network structure
emerges without IP-gateways.
Normally initiation is also carried out via an Ethernet interface. The setting of all internal parameters and configurations
can be carried out by an LNS-independent configuration tool.
For constant light control and scene control, all relevant LonMark objects, such as ”Lamp Actuator”, ”Constant Light
Controller”, ”Occupancy Controller” and ”Scene Controller” are available freely configurable, in virtually unlimited
quantities. The common restrictions with LON devices, for example the limitation of 15 address table entries, no longer
exist. The LON DALI Gateway can also be connected to the DALI LA-11 Multisensor.
The DALI Multisensor is a combination occupancy and light sensor.
For the first time, a cost-effective solution for creating an intelligent lighting control, as well as its integration into building
automation, is offered by LON DALI Controllers, respectively by a LON DALI Gateway, in combination with the DALI Multi-
sensor.
