1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The L-DALI controllers for LONMARK and BACnet systems are DALI gateways with built-
in light controller functionality.
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is defined in the international standard IEC
60929 Annex E and the newer IEC 62386. It is used to dim and switch luminaries from
most leading manufacturers. DALI also supports devices like multi-sensors (e.g. for
brightness, occupancy, etc.) and intelligent switches.
Figure 1: L-DALI supports up to four DALI channels.
The L-DALI lineup features 1, 2, or 4 independent DALI channels. Up to 64 DALI-based
luminaries per DALI channel can be controlled individually or via 16 groups. All luminaries
are monitored for lamp defect. L-DALI can provide this information to the Building
Management System (BMS) through its NV or BACnet interface respectively. For
CEA-709 communication IP-852 (Ethernet/IP) and TP/FT-10 are supported, for BACnet
communication BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP are supported.

Version 5.2 LOYTEC electronics GmbH
LDALI-3101-U, LDALI-E101-U, LDALI-3E101, LDALI-3E102, and LDALI-3E104 are
gateways connecting a DALI network to a CEA-709 network, LDALI-ME204 and
LDALI-E201-U are gateways connecting a DALI network to a BACnet network. On the
DALI network the L-DALI controller represents a DALI master controller. On the
CEA-709 or BACnet network the L-DALI controller offers a NV interface or a BACnet
server objects respectively to control the ballasts and the sensors connected for the DALI
network.
The constant light controller (LONMARK functional profile #3050, BACnet Loop object)
allows controlling DALI ballasts with lighting nodes on the CEA-709 or BACnet network.
Occupancy and lux-level sensors for constant light control and buttons for manual operation
can be integrated via the CEA-709/BACnet interface or directly on the DALI side.
On the LONMARK version a built-in sunblind controller (LONMARK functional profile
#6111) interacts with other nodes on the CEA-709 network. Interaction between the
sunblind and constant light controller applications allows adjusting sunblinds depending on
the constant light controller output, e.g. for energy saving concepts.
L-DALI supports automation functions such as alarming, scheduling, and trending. The
L-DALI controllers offer local scheduling services including the possibility to configure
several local and remote 24 hour schedulers through the Web UI. Alarming includes the
functionality to generate, deliver, acknowledge, and display alarm conditions and logs
regardless whether the condition comes from the DALI or the CEA-709/BACnet network.
The trending capability includes periodic and event triggered data logging of values and
time stamps. Alarms and trend data are stored on the device accessible via an FTP
connection as CSV files.
Figure 2: Using L-DALI together with the L-WEB product family.
L-DALI devices can be integrated with LWEB-802/803 visualization and LWEB-900 using
OPC XML-DA. LWEB-802/803 and LWEB-900 can be used for visualization of an
L-DALI based lighting control system. LWEB-900 offers additional functionality like
saving trend and log files for long term storage, easy managing of remote schedulers and
calendars, data analysis and report generation. L-DALI supports event-driven e-mail
notification as a result of a predefined action triggered by a specific status or an exceeded
high limit. e-mail notification can also be used to forward trend and log files to central SQL
databases for long term storage (see LWEB-900 for details).

Version 5.2 LOYTEC electronics GmbH
L-DALI supports common mathematical operations and functions, as well as Boolean
expressions.
Some lighting controller applications do not need a connection to the CEA-709 or BACnet
network. Therefore the L-DALI controller can control a DALI network as a standalone
device with the aid of the supported automation functions (alarming, scheduling, and
trending). Connected to an IP network, remote access allows to set parameters and to read
the system status.
The complete configuration can be done through the built-in Web server. The
commissioning and maintenance of the DALI system can be done using a standard Web
browser on a PC. The configuration can also be done via an PC based configuration
software (LONMARK/CEA-709 models only).

DALI gateway and controller

Important: In the following text models with BACnet interface are referred to as LDALI-20X and
models with LONMARK/CEA-709 interface are referred to as LDALI-10X.
1.3 Scope
This document covers L-DALI devices with firmware version 5.2 and the L-INX
Configuration Software version 5.2.

L-DALI User Manual 20 LOYTEC
Version 5.2 LOYTEC electronics GmbH
2 What’s New in L-DALI
2.1 New in L-DALI 5.2
LINX Configurator replaces LDALI Configurator
The L-DALI models are now supported by the LINX Configurator PC software. The
LDALI Configurator software therefore is no longer available.
LINX Configurator support for LDALI-20X models
The LINX Configurator now supports LDALI-20X models, including DALI offline
configuration workflow and the configuration of alarming, scheduling and trend log objects,
e-mail templates, math objects, data point connections etc. Custom user registers and
BACnet objects can be created and data points belonging to the static L-DALI application
interface can be OPC exposed. Further, the BACnet network can be scanned and client
maps can be created from local BACnet objects to remote BACnet objects.
Support for LOYTEC LDALI-MS1, LDALI-BM1 and LDALI-RM1
The L-DALI now supports the LDALI-MS1 multi-sensor, the LDALI-BM1 push-button
coupler and the LDALI-RM1 relay module. These devices are an optimal addition to the
L-DALI controller and allow designing cost effective and flexible DALI lighting systems.
For more information on these devices see the corresponding datasheet and Section 8.4.4.
DALI Button Functions
For DALI button devices supporting configurable button functions these functions can be
configured using the Web-UI (online) and the LINX Configurator (online and offline). The
following functions are available to control DALI groups (see Section 5.3.4.7 and 7.6):
Dim up, dim down,
Off,
On with last dimming value,
Scene recall: 1–15,
Dim to a specified value in %,
Color temperature warmer/colder.
On LDALI-10X models the state of a button device input can be forwarded to a network
variable as an alternative to directly control DALI lights (see Section 8.2.11.1).
