Overview
Application Note 5 V1.4, 2012-10
1Overview
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a communication protocol for lighting control in buildings. The
interface was first described in the IEC60929 standard for fluorescent lamp ballast, Annex E. The standard was
subsequently updated to include other lighting devices, such as LED, HID, etc., to become IEC-62386. The
complete standard for control interface of electronic control gears was published in June 2009, while the standard
for lighting control devices is scheduled to be published in 2012.
Only a pair of wires are required to form the bus for communication to all devices on a single DALI network. Each
piece of operating equiment with a DALI interface can be communicated with individually. Using a bi-directional
data exchange, a DALI controller can query and set the status of each connected lighting device. As a standalone
system, DALI can be operated with a maximum of 64 devices. Alternatively, DALI can be used as a subsystem via
DALI gateways for connection to building management systems.
Figure 1 DALI system types
Complex System : Multiple DALI systems can be connected together utilising gateways to building
management systems . Software programs offer more sophisticated programming functionality for
grouped systems , such as scenesetting, timeclock , and partition control.
Grouped System : Brightness control within large open- plan office, lecture halls or conference
rooms . DALI can provide zoned or localised control of lighting. Control could be offered through
infra-red remote control or a software control with GUI support, or used together as an easy
configuration tool to group loads together. Offering flexibility in customised lighting.

Figure 2 Block Diagram for DALI Control Device and Control Gear
Infineon has developed a solution for control gears based on the published IEC standard. The DALI Software
Stack for Control Gear has been designed around the Infineon XC83x devices. ‘LightNet’ has been created to
mimic the basic functions of a lighting control device and can therefore be used to evaluate the software. This
document describes the setup of the LightNet tool.
The following items are required for use with this application note:
• 1x XC836 Easy Kit (to serve as a DALI Control Device; KIT_XC836_EK_V1)
• 1x DALI PHY (KIT_XC822_XC836_DALI)
• 1x XC836 DALI Slave (KIT_DALI_RGB_XC836_DKV1) including DALI Control Gear Software Stack
(AP08102)

2.2 LightNet Installation
The LightNet software is designed to provide the control device the facility to send basic DALI commands to the
connected control gear. Installation is only to be performed once, using the file: LightNet_setup_V1_3.exe.
The following figures step through the LightNet tool installation process.
