DALI PowerLine Communication (DALI PLC) is a
revolutionary technology that allows for the control of
DALI luminaires through mains power lines. Developed
to save time and costs during the installation and
modification of lighting systems, it also offers increased
flexibility of installation, commissioning, and use. This
is possible as DALI PLC removes the need to install
additional wiring, is fully compatible with any standard
DALI driver and controller and size of luminaire, and
comes with several methods of implementation
suitable for a wide range of requirements. The document introduce how the DALI PLC can be used in different applications and installations.
DALI is a protocol.
An International Standard (IEC 62386) lighting control system providing a single interface for all Electronic Control Gears and Electronic Control Devices.
This document discusses Crestron's DALI fluorescent ballasts and LED drivers. It notes that ballasts and drivers are now an essential part of lighting control systems. Crestron's DALI ballasts integrate fully into control systems, providing benefits like lower installation costs, easier maintenance, and energy savings. The document provides details on Crestron's DALI ballast products, their features like power metering and dimming capabilities, and the DALI protocol which allows flexible control of lighting systems.
DALI Power line communication is a revolutionary technology which allows to control the DALI devices through existing power lines without additional wiring and saving of up to 30% of total install cost. The main advantage is its flexibility – it works with any DALI driver and the installer is not limited by size of the luminaire since the DALI PLC coupler can be installed outside of the luminaire.
The document provides information about Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI):
- DALI is a new international standard for digital communication between lighting system components that ensures interchangeability. It aims to provide a simple and cost-effective solution.
- Key benefits of DALI include individual control of lights, grouping of lights, lighting scenes, status reporting, and integration with building management systems.
- DALI can operate as a standalone lighting control system or as a subsystem integrated with building management systems using interfaces and converters. As a subsystem, it is simpler and less expensive than a full building management system.
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is an open standard lighting control protocol that provides flexibility and scalability for lighting control systems. It allows for individual control of luminaires as well as grouping and scene control. DALI systems offer energy savings through features like occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, and load shedding. DALI provides a simple, versatile solution for digital lighting control through its single interface that can control all electronically ballasted light sources.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on digital multiplexing systems and DMX protocols. It includes sections on DMX fundamentals, key products, hands-on configurations, software introduction, and a DMX demonstration. Various lighting control products are described, such as controllers, decoders, splitters, and tape lights. Standard physical installation configurations are also listed.
This document provides guidance on selecting an appropriate LED driver by considering several key factors:
- Choose between a constant current or constant voltage driver based on the lighting requirements. Consider the output current or voltage and how it meets the light's needs.
- Consider the maximum wattage requirement of the light and match it to the driver's output. Also match the driver's input voltage range to the location where the light will be used.
- Determine if dimming is needed and if so, what type of dimming compatibility is required.
- Check that the driver has the appropriate IP rating for protection against environmental factors like water and dust.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

2. DALI PowerLine
Communication
DALI PowerLine Communication (DALI PLC) is a
revolutionary technology that allows for the control of
DALI luminaires through mains power lines. Developed
to save time and costs during the installation and
modificationoflightingsystems,italsooffersincreased
flexibility of installation, commissioning, and use. This
is possible as DALI PLC removes the need to install
additional wiring, is fully compatible with any standard
DALI driver and controller and size of luminaire, and
comes with several methods of implementation
suitable for a wide range of requirements.
DIMMING, COLOUR CONTROL, LIGHTING SCENES
DALI PLC lets you do all the things you would normally do with a DALI
installation, just without the extra control lines. So whether you want dim-
ming, TunableWhite, or RGB control via direct regulation, lighting scenes,
or schedules, DALI PLC makes it easy as well as very cost-effective to add
DALI functionality to your new or updated lighting system.
CHOOSE THE DEVICES THAT SUIT YOU BEST
As DALI PLC is fully compatible with any standard DALI driver, controller, and
luminaire, you can choose whatever DALI devices suit your specific needs
best. Controllers in our portfolio include simple DALI Input Units as well as
more advanced wireless DALI interfaces such as DeeBridge and BlueBridge.
ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY DURING INSTALLATION
DALI PLC can be installed using a variety of methods, all of which are suitable
for almost any space and can be combined as needed to meet your specific
requirements.
SAVE ENERGY
Updating an older lighting system will certainly result in lower energy con-
sumption thanks to the use of more efficient and effective technologies along
with energy saving controls like presence and daylight sensing, and dimming.
NON-DISRUPTIVE AND -DESTRUCTIVE INSTALLATION
The main advantage of DALI PLC is that all DALI communication is carried
out through the mains, removing the need for installation of new wiring in
ceilings and walls, which saves time and up to 30 % on installation costs.
EASY INTEGRATION INTO EXISTING SYSTEMS
As DALI PLC relies only on mains wiring to do its job, it is incredibly easy to
integrate into existing systems meaning you can update one area only, or
perform a progressive upgrade of a whole building.
3. Miracles without the work
RESPECTING OUR HERITAGE
There are many challenges when updating and improving the performance
of listed, protected, and heritage buildings. It is often necessary to preserve
the layout and original appearance, including walls as well as furniture and
lighting equipment, where materials and finishes must be chosen to match
those used during the original construction of the building. In addition, when
updating lighting systems, it is important to also reduce energy consumption
and maintenance, increase usability, and contribute to improved wellbeing.
DALI PLC is an ideal solution as it allows for modification and control of
lighting systems without the need for installation of additional wiring, and is
extremely flexible in terms of device choice thanks to being fully compatible
with all DALI controllers and luminaires.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Lighting is key to success in retail, so it is important to use the most dramatic,
flexible, and effective solutions. Nowadays, this often means using DALI to
enable the creation of an array of effects throughout the day. However, up-
dating a retail lighting system to use DALI can be costly and time-consuming,
which results in reduced revenue. To minimise closure times, it is useful to
use DALI PLC, which is highly flexible at installation, promises all the benefits
of DALI, and is cost-effective and fast to implement. With DALI PLC for retail,
you really can have your cake and eat it.
DON’T FORGET HOME
It is still quite rare to find DALI used in domestic applications. This is partly
due to the price of devices, but mainly because modification of the electrical
and lighting infrastructure of a house is time-consuming and costly. We are
not talking here about new builds where the architect plans the installation
of DALI wiring into the construction as part of home automation, but about
older buildings that are still in use. In this case, much of the prohibitive work
and cost involved in the installation of a new DALI network can be mitigated
by the use of DALI PLC. So simple. And it really works!
RAPID RECONSTRUCTION FOR LARGE BUILDINGS
The modification of electrical and lighting infrastructures in large buildings
can take several weeks. In the case of factories, office buildings, hotels, and
hospitals, this can result in significant disturbance to day-to-day operation.
To minimise associated issues and losses, it is ideal to use a solution such as
DALI PLC as it takes maximum advantage of available infrastructure, and so
greatly reduces installation times and disturbance as well as costs. Everyone
will be back to work in time at all!
4. A DALI powered, DIN rail mountable module that connects two or more DALI
networks through coupling of DALI communication to mains wiring. It can
be used to both send and receive DALI commands through the power lines.
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
• Input voltage: 230 V AC / 50 Hz (see datasheet for full specification)
• Supports forwards and backwards DALI commands according to
IEC 62386-102
• DALI powered (only one DALI Power Supply may be used)
• Three-phase support
• Communication error source detection
• Over-voltage protection
• Dimensions: 90 x 36 x 58 mm
• Housed in a standard 2U DIN box for easy installation in switchboards
DALI PLC Bridge DALI PLC-IN
A small, mains-powered module designed for direct installation within a lu-
minaire to connect it to a DALI PLC network. It can be used to both send and
receive DALI commands through the power lines.
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
• Input voltage: 230 V AC / 50 Hz (see datasheet for full specification)
• Supports forwards and backwards DALI commands according to
IEC 62386-102
• Mains powered (no additional DALI Power Supply required)
• Internally powered DALI control output to luminaire – connect up to
three DALI drivers
• Must be connected via the mains to at least one DALI PLC Bridge
• Over-voltage protection
• Dimensions: 33 x 50 x 30 mm
5. DALI PLC DEVICES
• Each DALI PLC network may contain a maximum of 64 DALI devices. DALI PLC devices are not count-
ed as part of the 64 as they are “invisible” to DALI.
• All DALI PLC devices can have luminaires and/or controllers connected to their DALI side.
• All DALI PLC devices can receive, modulate, and send DALI commands from connected DALI con-
trollers as well as receive and translate commands sent from other DALI PLC devices.
• Ensure that the L1 terminal of each DALI PLC Bridge is always connected to at least one phase. L1 is
used to power the dedicated L output for the DALI Power Supply. If L1 is not connected to a phase,
the L output will not be powered.
THE “MASTER”
• Each DALI PLC network needs a “master” DALI PLC Bridge to acts as the “brain” of the installation.
• Any DALI PLC Bridge within a network can act as the master. It is possible to select a new master by
pressing the reset button on the desired DALI PLC Bridge. This will reset and initiate remapping of
the entire DALI and DALI PLC network, which will take several minutes.
• DALI PLC cannot communicate in real time with DALI. To overcome this, the master DALI PLC Bridge
periodically requests and stores information about its network status and communicates it to all
connected DALI PLC devices. When a DALI controller requests device status updates, it receives the
information from the closest DALI PLC device within the time stipulated in the DALI standard.

Mains wiring N
DALI bus
DALI device
Ext. DPS External DALI Power Supply
Int. DPS Internal DALI Power Supply
• The number of DALI devices per net-
work (in a pink box) is limited to 64.
• Not all DALI controllers 1 require a
DALI address, e.g., iLumTech’s wireless
controllers DeeBridge and BlueBridge.
• As DALI PLC-IN devices have a limited
output current, it is only possible to
connect sensors 2 with low current
requirements.
• RGB and TW luminaires may or may
not require more than one DALI ad-
dress depending on their DALI type.
DALI PLC NETWORK LIMITATIONS
• Like any type of control signal, the DALI PLC signal loses strength as it travels further along the control
lines (in this case, power lines). DALI PLC installations are therefore limited to line lengths of 300 m.
• It is possible to connect up to three DALI devices to each DALI PLC-IN at the DALI output, such as
three DALI drivers. This is due to the 15 mA current limit of the internal DALI network.
• DALI drivers connected to the L and N outputs of a DALI PLC-IN must not represent a combined load
of more than 100 W.
USING THREE PHASE WIRING
• DALI PLC Bridge devices may be connected to multiple phases. DALI PLC-IN devices may only be
connected to a single phase.
• It is possible to distribute a DALI PLC network across three phases in the case that luminaires are
connected to different phases. Any DALI PLC Bridge can be connected to multiple phases to inter-
connect them into a single DALI network. Installation methods 1, 2, and 3 can all be distributed
across a single phase or multiple phases according to need. (See installation methods 1, 2, and 3 on
pages 12–17. Installation method 3 specifically shows a network distributed across three phases.)
• It is also possible to use three phases to create three independent DALI networks with 3 x 64 devices
(192 total). The wiring must remain separated and at least one DALI controller used per phase. (See
the above diagram and installation method 4 on pages 18–19.)
• Connection of DALI PLC Bridge terminals to phases does not need to follow any particular order. The
only limitation is that no more than one phase can be connected to each terminal.

6. Installation method 1
ONE DALI PLC BRIDGE DEVICE CONNECTED TO ONE OR
MORE DALI PLC-IN DEVICES
For the simplest DALI PLC networks, you need only one DALI PLC Bridge that
acts as the master connected to several DALI PLC-IN devices. DALI PLC-IN de-
vices are ideal for use where there is no possibility to add additional wiring as
they are placed directly within luminaires and only need to be connected to
the mains. Perfect for use in heritage buildings such as churches and cultural
buildings as well as in places where the construction materials make it overly
difficult to install new wiring within the walls and ceilings. It is possible to
distribute such networks across one, two, or three phases as required.
INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed without voltage applied to the mains.
1 Connect the dedicated output terminal L of the DALI PLC Bridge to the
phase input L of its DALI Power Supply (and also N).
2 Connect the DALI terminals of the DALI PLC Bridge to the DALI output of
its DALI Power Supply.
3 Connect the DALI bus (with DALI controllers and/or luminaires) to the
DALI terminal of the DALI PLC Bridge.
4 Lead the mains wires from the DALI PLC Bridge to one or more DALI PLC-IN
devices connected in parallel.
5 If the network includes more than one phase, connect all used phases to the
phase connection terminals on the DALI PLC Bridge. For connection guid-
ance, see “Using three phase wiring” on page 11.

7. Installation method 2
COUPLING OF ONE OR MORE DALI PLC BRIDGE DEVICES
CONNECTED TO DALI BUSES
In some spaces, it may be viable to install DALI buses in some locations but
not throughout the entire space. For such cases, DALI PLC is ideal to couple
these various DALI buses via the mains wiring into a single network. Each
DALI bus requires its own DALI Power Supply and DALI PLC Bridge device to
connect it to the rest of the DALI PLC installation. This installation method is
useful for spaces ranging from office buildings and hotels to shops and res-
taurants. It is possible to distribute such networks across one, two, or three
phases as required.
INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed without voltage on the mains power.
1 Connect the dedicated output terminal L of each DALI PLC Bridge to the
phase input L of its DALI Power Supply (and also N).
2 Connect the DALI terminals of each DALI PLC Bridge to the DALI output
of its DALI Power Supply.
3 Connect each DALI bus (with DALI controllers and/or luminaires) to the
DALI terminal of its DALI PLC Bridge.
4 Lead the mains wires between all DALI PLC Bridge devices (Lx, N).
5 If the network includes more than one phase, connect all used phases to the
phase connection terminals on the DALI PLC Bridge devices. Any DALI PLC
Bridge can be used to interconnect phases. For connection guidance, see
“Using three phase wiring” on page 11.

This installation method is very much the same as the previous except that
it also includes DALI PLC-IN devices. Such a combination offers the greatest
flexibility for positioning and controlling of luminaires within the network
and is perfectly suited to use in office buildings, hotels, and even hospitals,
where rooms or offices can be equipped with a DALI bus but the corridor
requires lighting than runs off the mains. Of course, the principles of the
installation method can be applied to almost any type of space. It is possible
to distribute such networks across one, two, or three phases as required.

9. USE OF THREE PHASE WIRING WITH THREE MASTER DALI
PLC BRIDGE DEVICES TO CREATE THREE SEPARATE DALI
NETWORKS
For larger spaces or complexes like office buildings, factories, supermarkets,
and warehouses, 64 DALI devices are simply not enough. Such buildings
often use three phase wiring, which opens up the possibility to use each
phase as a separate DALI PLC network with 64 DALI devices. Each phase
must be used independently of the others in order for this to work and so
must have its own DALI controllers and master DALI PLC Bridge device.

INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed without voltage on the mains power.
1 Connect the dedicated output terminal L of each DALI PLC Bridge to the
phase input L of its DALI Power Supply (and also N).
2 Connect the DALI terminals of each DALI PLC Bridge to the DALI output
of its DALI Power Supply.
3 Connect each DALI bus (with DALI controllers and/or luminaires) to the
DALI terminal of its DALI PLC Bridge.
4 Lead the mains wires between all DALI PLC Bridge devices and DALI PLC-
IN devices connected in parallel (L and N). Each DALI PLC Bridge device
can be used with a group of luminaires connected by a DALI bus.
5 Repeat this process for all three phases.
6 Note: each phase network must be connected to the L1 terminal of its
DALI PLC Bridge devices.
COMMISSIONING
1 Commissioning is performed automatically by the master DALI PLC
Bridge device. No other commissioning tools are required.

10. What is DALI?
DALI is an international standard for professional digital lighting and
a worldwide registered trademark, and is considered the most flexible
and reliable control system for innovative lighting solutions. It is a
worldwide standard, specified by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC). The DALI protocol is set out in the technical standard
IEC 62386.
DEVICES USED IN A DALI SYSTEM
• Control gear: provides a power control circuit to drive light sources.
• Control device: provides information to other control devices and can
send commands to control gears.
a) Input device: provides some information to the system such as a
button press or movement detection.
b) Application controller: provides commands and works as a decision-
makers in a DALI system (sends commands to control gears to
modify the light output).
• Bus power supplies: allow for both communication on the bus and
supply power to any bus-powered DALI device. At least one bus power
supply must be present in a DALI system (can be part of another device
or a separate unit).
• Bus wires: connect the DALI terminals of devices in the system.
• Other devices: configuration tools, DALI interfaces, etc.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The standard specifies general requirements for:
• 101: the system,
• 102: control gears,
• 103: control devices (upcoming in the DALI 2 standard).
The DALI standard defines the following devices and describes their particular
requirements:
• Device type 1: self-contained emergency lighting (202),
• Device type 2: discharge lamps (203),
• Device type 3: low voltage halogen lamps (204),
• Device type 4: supply voltage controller for incandescent lamps (205),
• Device type 5: conversion from digital signal into DC voltage (206),
• Device type 6: LED modules (207),
• Device type 7: switching function (208),
• Device type 8: colour control (209).
The current DALI standard does not contain definition of control devices,
which will be addressed in the upcoming DALI 2 standard in part 103:
control devices. It will allow for use of single- and multi-masters, and define
input devices, application controllers, timing and addressing modes, and
commands to enable and disable application controllers, etc.
TECHNICAL BASICS
Technical boundaries:
• a maximum of 64 devices per subnet (hub/router),
• cabling no longer than 300 m,
• devices can consume no more than 250 mA each.
Cabling benefits:
• standard 2-core cabling (1.5 mm2
),
• polarity free and free wiring topology,
• DALI power and data on the same wires.
Digital benefits:
• robust communication,
• individual (64), group (16), and broadcast (all) control,
• easy to change using software,
• two-way communication (feedback).
