FAQ

A: In the original DALI system, there is no problem using DALI-2 control device. DALI-2 is designed for backward compatibility.

A: DALI-2 is the second major version of the DALI protocol standard IEC62386, which is DALI Version 2. The upgrade of DALI-2 on the basis of DALI includes: ①. Fix the errors and shortcomings of version 1.0, such as more detailed and strict requirements for transmission timing, and remove some unused feature requirements. ②. Some new features have been added. DALI-2 significantly improves the interoperability of products from different manufacturers. ③. The test process of DALI-2 is more detailed and complete, and it is constantly checked and updated. ④. Compulsory certification. Compulsory certification requirements are put forward for products that comply with the latest DALI standard DALI-2, and DiiA has formulated specific methods and procedures.

A: Simply put, dimming requires one channel to achieve control, and color temperature also requires one channel to achieve control. At the same time, dimming and color temperature require two channels to achieve. The DT6 driver is a single address and single channel, if you need to adjust the color temperature, you need two addresses to control; the DT8 driver is a single address and dual channel, if you need to adjust the color temperature, one address can be used to control.

A: When the DALI dimming control system runs for a period of time, some DALI equipment may fail and need to be replaced: ①. If only one DALI device is replaced DALI equipment does not have parameters such as an address, grouping, scene, etc. when it leaves the factory. The old DALI device can be simply replaced with a new one so that the system can be simply addressed. The address automatically obtained by this new DALI device is the address of the old device. However, the groups and scenes need to be reprogrammed. It is best to save the specific values ​​(groups and scenes) of the system after the initial commissioning, and the parameters of the new equipment should be the same as those during the initial commissioning. ②. If you need to replace two or more DALI devices If two or more devices are replaced, the new device will get any free address. The device needs to be assigned a specific short address (the same as the old one), and each device needs to be replaced separately. We recommend that before

A: Yes. As long as it is correctly connected to the mains, the lamps using DALI power supply do not connect to the DALI signal line, and they can also light up like ordinary lamps (the default brightness is all bright).

A: A standard DALI bus link can control 64 lights. If this number is exceeded, another DALI bus link is needed to control it.

A: A standard DALI system can carry up to 64 components with independent addresses. The maximum current provided by the DALI system is 250mA, which is a limitation of the DALI system. If a DALI system has more than 64 independent addresses or the system current is greater than 250mA, the signal will be attenuated, distorted, and cause system errors. Some components may not be able to communicate and the system will run unstable.

A: Most of the cases are caused by insufficient creepage distance or insulation level of the lamp design, which can be solved after the lamp shell is grounded.

A: The maximum transmission distance of DALI is 300 meters, which is limited by the resistance of the signal wire and other factors. It is recommended that the actual use distance be less than 300 meters as much as possible.

A: The biggest feature of DALI technology is that a single lamp has an independent address, and a single lamp or lamp group can be accurately dimmed through the DALI system. DALI system software can independently address single or multiple lamps on the same circuit or different circuits, so as to realize individual control and arbitrary grouping. Therefore, the DALI dimming system is controlled according to the DALI address and is not restricted by the loop, which brings great flexibility to the lighting control.

A: DALI is the acronym for "Digital Addressable Lighting Interface", which translates as "Digital Addressable Lighting Interface". It is the internationally open lighting control communication protocol IEC62386, which specifies the digital communication control method between electronic ballasts, control units and various sensors. That is to say, DALI is a protocol specially used for lighting control. It can control each lamp individually, realize the control of brightness, color temperature, color, etc., control the lamps in groups, and set different scenes.

A: 1) Under normal circumstances, after the antenna form is fixed, the pattern is basically determined, and the antenna back lobe optimization can consider the use of a more directional antenna; 2) When designing the antenna: Keep the antenna surface away from the edge of the board as much as possible, increase the size of the board as much as possible, and spread the ground on the bottom as much as possible. Consider placing a shielding cover on the back of the module to reduce the radiation effect of the antenna on the back of the module; 3) The test environment will affect the corresponding test results: the general indoor space has reflections, which will cause the sensing distance behind the module to be relatively far. But in an outdoor environment, this situation will be reduced.
