4 General Information
Up to 64 DALI lamps can be controlled with the RESI-DALI-ASCII converter via simple ASCII text strings or
via MODBUS/RTU master protocol. But also lamps using the older DSI protocol can be controlled.
To control our converter, you will need an intelligent unit with a build in serial interface (RS232 or RS485).
The unit must be able to send and receive ASCII text messages. This is available in almost every media
control system like CRESTRON®, AMX® or CONTROL4®. But also almost every PLC can send and receive
serial ASCII text messages. So you can integrate our converter almost everywhere.
Additionally with the RESI configuration tool a DALI network can be configured and be put in operation.
connection of up to 64 DALI/DSI- lamps (depending on the current consumption)
galvanic isolated DALI Bus from ASCII serial interface
ASCII port: RS232 or RS485, 9600 to 57600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
selectable ASCII address, configurable via software
supply voltage 24 Vdc

6 Function description
The RESI-DALI-ASCII converter is used to integrate a DALI light bus system into an automation system, which
has a serial interface (RS232 or RS485) and can handle a simple ASCII text based protocol. The converter
offers also the possibility to use the MODBUS/RTU master protocol instead of the ASCII text strings. Both
protocols are supported by the converter.
Required is a lamp ballast (dimmer, EVG, etc. ) compatible to the DALI standard.
To learn more about the detailed mode of function of the DALI bus please refer to the appropriate standards
(see EN60929).
For the communication via ASCII text strings, all ASCII messages start with a special character # (0x23,35dec)
and end with the special character CARRIAGE RETURN (0x0d,13dec). The converter sends also its
messages with this special start and end characters. For further information, consult the chapter ASCII
Command Description.
In the case of proper function the converter the status LED flashes once per second. In case of an error at
the DALI bus side (e.g. lacking DALI power supply) the status LED flashes faster.
For communication via MODBUS the following MODBUS functions are available:
READ HOLDING REGISTER (function code: 3)
PRESET SINGLE REGISTER (function code: 6)
PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS (function code: 16)
Note: The functions READ HOLDING REGISTER and PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS are limited to max. 50 register
per query!
The functions of the converter can be divided into three different groups:
●‚conventional’ MODBUS DALI/DSI control
●DALI start up
●DALI configuration
The process of starting up and configuring a DALI system is described in detail in the DALI-MODBUS
addressing tool user manual.
The process of starting up and configuring a DALI system is described in detail in the online manual of our
configuration software. Or consult our online WIKI information system under
http://www.resi.cc/resiwiki/index.php/Main_Page

7 ASCII Command Description
7.1 Overview
The RESI-DALI-ASCII converter communicate with simple ASCII text commands. The following special
characters are used in this documentation:
# stands for the ASCII character 35dec or 0x23
: stands for the ASCII character 58dec or 0x3A
= stands for the equal symbol 61dec or 0x3D
- stands for the minus symbol 45dec or 0x2D
, stands for the colon with the ASCII code 44dec or 0x2C
<CR> stands for the CARRIAGE RETURN character with the ASCII code 13dec or 0x0D. In advance we will use
the symbol CR for that character.
<SP> stands for the SPACE character with the ASCII code 32dec or 0x20. In advance we will use the symbol 
for this character.
<ADR> will be used for the current configured bus address. You can send the bus address either as decimal or
as hexadecimal number followed by a colon (ASCII character 44dec or 0x2C), which separates the bus address
from the command. Hexadecimal numbers start always with an ASCII 0x sequence. Only the ASCII characters
‚0‘-‚9‘ 48dec to 57dec, 0x30 to 0x39 and ‚A‘ to ‚F‘, 65dec to 70dec, 0x41 to 0x46 are allowed as hexadecimal
numbers. All converters on the bus react to the broadcast bus number 0 and to its own configured bus number.
With an external DIP switch you can switch very fast between the fixed bus address 255 and the pre-programmed
bus address, stored into the system FLASH of the converter. Please consult the DIP Switch description in this
manual.
7.2 Communication sequence
The RESI-DALI-ASCII converter is a slave on the bus. This means, the converter do not send any characters on
the bus, unit it receives a valid message from a bus master and want to answer to this telegram. So the host
controls the communication. If you use only the RS232 mode of the converter, you can send commands without
a bus address. In the RS485 mode you can use more than one converter with one host. There you will have to
send the bus address, to identify the converter, which the current command belongs to.
The structure of the command looks like this:
The host sends a command or a command with parameters without any bus address:
#<Command><CR> or #< Command >:<Parameters><CR>
The converter answers, if it feels affected with the following telegram:
#<Answer><CR>
If the host uses the bus address, the command structure looks like this:
#<Address>,<Command><CR> or #<Address>,<Command>:<Parameters><CR>
The answer of the converter looks like this:
#<Address>,<Answer><CR>
The bus address is in the range of 0 to 255 decimal or 0x00 to 0xFF hexadecimal. The setup of the converters
bus address is done with our MODBUS configurator software tool. Each converter reacts always also to the
broadcast bus address 0 or 0x00 hexadecimal.
For each command we support two different writings. One long version to clearly identify the meaning of the
command and one short version to use less letters in the command. For example you can request the current
software version with the command VERSION or with the command VER.
