Luxon IoT Node Outdoor
9
4 Compatible LED drivers
The Luxon IoT Node Outdoor can control up to 4 drivers within one luminaire. The control interface can be either Active
DALI, DALI or 1-10V dim-to-off mode. The Luxon IoT Node Outdoor determines the interface control mode automatically by
measuring supply voltage and dimming interface voltage of the connected driver(s). For possible drivers see Luxon Portal:
https://portal.nedap-luxon.com
Nedap Light Controls offer a service to evaluate your luminaire after integration of the Luxon IoT Node Outdoor to prove the
compatibility with the Luxon Light Management system. We recommend to make a luminaire available for evaluation.
In Active DALI mode, the Luxon IoT Node Outdoor is powered by the Active DALI driver through the dimming interface.
DALI communication is used to control the driver via the same dimming interface, which is polarity sensitive.
Up to four drivers can be controlled by connecting their DALI ports in parallel.
All Philips/Signify Xitanium SR and Osram DEXAL® drivers are compatible with the Luxon IoT Node Outdoor.
Wiring diagram 1: Active DALI application with Luxon IoT Node Outdoor
Note: Each Active DALI driver provides approximately 50mA of current on the DALI bus. It is recommended to turn on
only two DALI power supplies to ensure proper communication of up to 4 LED drivers in parallel. To turn off the DALI power
supply, use the appropriate programmer. (See Philips/Signify or Osram Digital Systems website)
In DALI mode, power the Luxon IoT outdoor by a 24Vdc supply voltage. The Luxon IoT Node Outdoor provides the DALI bus
voltage and communication through the dimming port to DALI drivers. The DALI output is polarity sensitive although most
drivers do not have a polarity sensitive DALI port. Up to four drivers can be controlled by connecting the dimming ports in
parallel.
DALI driver requirements:
- All IEC 62386 compliant DALI drivers are compatible with the Luxon IoT Node Outdoor. One driver or auxiliary
power supply needs to supply 24V to the Luxon IoT Node Outdoor; (Power consumption IoT node: 250mW) See
also chapter 5.5 about auxiliary power supplies.
- Note that driver manufacturers do not always implement all DALI commands i.e. query status.
- Please make sure the 24V supply voltage remains available in the 'OFF' status
