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)

2.3 DALI Control Device Software
The DALI Software for Control Device has been developed to support the use of the LightNet tool and can work
on XC836 Easy Kit boards. This software must be downloaded to the XC836 Easy Kit board prior to calling the
LightNet tool. (File: AP0810413_LightNet_XC800Master_code.exe) In addition to control via LightNet, touch pad
control is available.
2.4 DALI Control Gear Software
The DALI Software for Control Gear has been developed on the XC83x devices to support the features specified
in the International Standard IEC-62386 / Part 102 for control gears. This software includes application code for
driving an LED module, supplied with the XC836 DALI Control Gear (KIT_DALI_RGB_XC836_DKV1). Through a
control device, the LightNet software allows DALI commands to be issued to control the brightness of the LED
module attached to the control gear. This software must be downloaded to the XC836 DALI Control Kit. For further
details, please refer to AP08102 DALI Control Gear Software Stack.
2.5 Hardware Setup
The LightNet tool acts as the software for the DALI Control Device, used with the XC836 Easy Kit.
The following sections describe how to setup the LightNet tool to evaluate the DALI protocol.

3 LightNet Tool
This chapter describes how the LightNet software is organised.
3.1 Connecting the LightNet tool
Once the recommended hardware setup has been completed, LightNet can be used. Figure 21 shows how to
connect to the LightNet tool.
Note:The LightNet tool cannot be activated if the recommended setup has not been completed as described; i.e.
the XC836 Easy Kit is not connected, or the BMI is incorrectly selected.
Figure 21 Connecting the Board
3.2 Address Selection
LightNet supports 3 types of DALI addressing:
• Broadcast
• Short Address
• Group Address
The user decides the type of addressing to be sent with each command by selecting from the available options.
For Group Address, the user is required to add the group address to the detailed configuration settings tab, as
shown in Chapter 3.4.
Figure 22 Address Selection
“RED” indicates that
board is not connected.
Clicking on “Connect”
initiates connection to
LightNet tool
“GREEN” indicates that
board is connected.
Clicking on “Disconnect”
initiates disconnection
from LightNet tool
Broadcast Address:
Fixed address of 0xFF is
sent with commands.
Group Address:
Group setting needs to be
added by user. Supports
range from 00 to 15.
Short Address:
User selectable short
address range from00 to
63.
NOTE:
1, Steps to adding group address
and programming of short address
can be found in Detailed
Configurationtab.
2. This selection allows user
commands to be addressed with
the various supported address
types listed.
