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 oce rooms to large oce
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 dened 
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 specic days of the week).
Automatic sequence control (e.g. day-• 
light simulation).
Blocking function for corridor lighting • 
(always corridor lighting when oce 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 oset controls (constant light • 
adjustment provides higher level of 
lighting away from windows).
