DALION
BACnet DALI Lighting Controller
The DALION controller allows bidirectional communication between DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) and BACnet systems. It integrates many functionalities to ease the installation of the DALI lighting control system on BACnet networks.
Four DALI Channels
The DALION-4 model is equipped with four independent DALI channels. The DALION gateway can control up to 256 DALI devices. This is 64 devices with 16 groups and 16 scenes per channel.
BACnet support
The Ethernet interface is used to communicate with the BACnet/IP protocol. DALI channels, groups, lamps and scenes are accessible through BACnet standard objects such as; Analog Value, Analog Output, Analog Input.
Web Interface
A responsive web interface allows configuration and commissioning. The user interface is accessible on several electronic devices such as computers, iPhone, Android and tablets. Therefore, no special software is required.
DALI-2 Support
Can integrate up to 32 DALI-2 input devices (control devices) per DALI channel. Light sensors, occupancy sensors and buttons can be configured via the web interface and made accessible to BACnet.
Scheduler
The scheduler allows to controls the lights intensity at specific times.
Colour control
Support for DALI Type 8 (DT8) drivers with all four colour types: xy-coordinate, colour temperature Tc, primary N, or RGBWAF.
Integrated Ethernet switch
It incorporates a two-port Ethernet switch, allowing multiple DALION gateways to be daisy-chained.
Diagnosis
Many counters are available to help with the diagnostic of network problems for the DALI, BACnet and Ethernet interfaces.
Compact Design & DIN rail
Compact design with DIN rail mount.
Responsive Web Interface
The web user interface adapts to all screen sizes. It allows modifying system settings as well as performing the DALI devices commissioning.
Tunable White Ready
Adjustment of the light from warm white to daylight thanks to the compatibility with DALI Type 8 (DT8) drivers.
Colour Control
Adjusting RGB and other lights. Create scenes and recall colour settings.
DALI-2 Input Devices
Support for the integration of DALI-2 sensors and buttons.
DALI

Uses Analog Input objects for the feedback of lamps, groups and channels.
Uses Analog Output objects for the control of lamps, groups and channels.
Uses Multi-State Output objects to recall, store and erase DALI scenes.
Supports BACnet COV (Change of Value) services.
Many counters are available to help with the diagnostic of network problems.
Web Interface
All the configuration can be performed through the Web Interface.
