DALI Router – Flexible control for the major installation
The new router system for DALI
uses Ethernet communication as
a smooth way of connecting DALI
networks together. The modules
provide a complete system from
single oce rooms to large oce
buildings. The basic functions
are available and ready to start without any programming. For
advanced functions, the Windows-based software Designer is used.
Each individual router can handle two DALI circuits, each with a
maximum of 64 control units and load interfaces. The system can
be programmed for energy-saving functions such as occupancy
detection and constant lighting. Further automatic functions are
possible with planned events. The OPC server software activates
interfaces with the processing system in the building.
Superb reliability
All data is stored in the system itself, the need for PC control in daily
usage. Eliminating the central control arrangement ensures that no
single product can cause a breakdown of the system. If necessary, a
PC can be connected to the system for diagnostic purposes.
Advantages
No PC required for daily usage.•
Complete exibility.•
Standard protocol.•
Simple system layout. •
System fundamentals
The router is the central unit in the system providing a smooth con-
nection between a large number of DALI and DIGIDIM products. DI-
GIDIM systems are programmed using Helvar’s Designer software,
which can be used on a local or remote-controlled Windows-based
PC. Once programming is complete, the PC can be disconnected as
it is not required for normal daily system usage. The PC can also be
used to monitor and report on the status of the system. All data are
stored in ash memory in the DIGIDIM routers, which avoids the
need for cumbersome databases and allows the system to be saved
to a PC as back-up.
Network of several routers
A large number of routers can be interconnected in a network
of standard Ethernet connections. This means it can be used for
programming and monitoring. The extent of the system is dened
as a work group. A work group is a collection of routers joined via an
Ethernet connection.
Key figures
A DIGIDIM router can handle 128 DALI •
units.
Each DALI network can have 64 DALI •
units connected, with a maximum
length of 300 metres.
Integrated 250 mA DALI power supply •
for each DALI network.
10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet connection •
with Internet protocol (TCP/IP).
16,000 groups in Designer software.•
Each router can use 256 groups.•
DALI units work together in groups.•
A maximum of 64 PCs running Helvar’s •
Designer software may be connected at
the same time.
Functions
Manual control (always the option of •
adjusting the light in person).
Daylight control (adjustment according •
to incident daylight. Both open loop and
closed loop).
Occupancy detection (in multi-sensor or •
external units).
Lamp status (each DALI unit can provide •
information).
Log for life span of light sources (con-•
sumption by individual light sources can
be logged in a journal).
Automatic updating when an HF-ballast •
is changed (information for the removed
ballast is updated in the new one).
Timer functions (automatic on/o or •
change of functions depending on
time).
Calendar functions (events may occur •
on specic days of the week).
Automatic sequence control (e.g. day-•
light simulation).
Blocking function for corridor lighting •
(always corridor lighting when oce is
occupied).
Logic functions (AND & NAND-like •
functions).
Automatic control of emergency lighting •
units (meets the DALI standard for the
control of emergency lighting units).
OPC functions (control between prop-•
erty systems and servers).
Multiple oset controls (constant light •
adjustment provides higher level of
lighting away from windows).
