1. IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server – DALI Description
This do ument des ribes the integration of DALI ballasts in BACnet ompatible devi es and
systems (ANSI/ASHRAE 135 – 2001 / Annex J - BACnet/IP), with the use of IntesisBox
BACnet/IP Server – DALI devi e.
The ending of this devi e is:
Providing a DALI physi al hannel with the ne essary bus voltage (about 15V) and
urrent regulation (max. 250mA).
Setting the proper onfiguration values of the DALI ballasts (addresses, groups,
max/min levels, …).
Performing ontrol and monitoring of the DALI ballasts in the DALI bus from a
BACnet/IP-based ontrol system or devi e, so that the ballasts be ome part of the
own BACnet system.
A onfiguration software tool, Lin BoxBacnet, is provided with IntesisBox, allowing to
perform all setup tasks related to onfiguration of DALI ballasts, setting needed BACnet/IP
parameters (IP address, TCP port, …) as well as providing basi monitoring of the
integration at setup time.
On e set up, the gateway a ts as a BACnet/IP Server devi e in its BACnet interfa e,
allowing other BACnet/IP lient devi es to perform COV subs ription requests, and reading
or writing its internal BACnet obje ts. These obje ts provide ontrol of the DALI ballasts
onne ted to IntesisBox.
This do ument assumes that the user is familiar with BACnet and DALI te hnologies and
their te hni al terms.

1.1 DALI interface
DALI (Digitally Addressable Lighting Interfa e) is a standard defining a set of fun tionalities
and requirements to be fulfilled by lighting ballasts. DALI ballasts ommuni ate as well
using the same proto ol (DALI proto ol), defined in the standard and supported by
IntesisBox.
From a fun tional point of view, DALI ballasts provide following features:
Digital ontrol of a tual ar power level (dim level)
oControllable either individually, or by previously defined groups of ballasts.
oSet to arbitrary power/dim levels between OFF and 100%, or previously
defined “preset” levels (s enes).
oUsing predefined fade rates/times upon power level hange.
Reporting of their a tual status
oMainly for dete ting failure onditions of the ballast or the installation.
A single DALI hannel supports up to 64 ballasts, being this one the maximum number of
individual ballasts that an be integrated with a single IntesisBox.
The DALI hannel needs a power sour e, whi h will be provided by IntesisBox itself. As per
the requirements of the standard, nominal bus voltage provided by IntesisBox is 15V, and
has a urrent limiter of 240/250mA.
Ea h DALI ballast has an own permanent storage memory, where it stores its own
onfiguration values. These values an be read, set and hanged using IntesisBox at setup
time. They are the following:
Short Address (Individual address / Address for individual ontrol)
Random Address (Unique address providing a way of addressing a ballast without
assigned individual/short address)
Physi al Minimum Level (read-only/defined by ballast manufa turer)
Minimum Level
Maximum Level
Power-on Level
System Failure Level
Fade Rate
Fade Time
Group membership (a DALI hannel an have up to 16 groups and ea h ballast an
belong to any number of them at the same time)
Level for s ene 0…15 (up to 16 s enes/preset dim levels an be onfigured within
ea h ballast)
Configuration of all ballast parameters an be done with IntesisBox, using Lin BoxBacnet
software onfiguration tool. Usage of this tool is explained in detail in se tion 3.
Information on DALI te hnology and a list of existing ballast manufa turers an be found at
AG DALI asso iation’s website (www.dali-ag.org).

1.2 BACnet/IP interface
DALI ballasts onne ted to IntesisBox are a essible by means of its BACnet/IP server
interfa e.
Ea h DALI ballast is abstra ted at BACnet side as a set of BACnet obje ts, using types
Analog Input and Analog Output. The value they represent is always a essed in IntesisBox
by means of its BACnet Property Present Value.
For ea h ballast, following is the list of its related BACnet obje ts:
