Is KNX compatible with DALI?
DALI is well known as a commercial lighting control protocol that works perfectly with KNX. If more than 64 lamps are required then multiple universes can be connected together with KNX being used as the backbone. To keep bus traffic light it is advised that sensors and other input devices are placed on the KNX bus.
What is KNX lighting control?
KNX are devices that measure the lighting levels (lux) and are used to influence lights in order to, for example, apply a constant type control. This type of control adjusts the lighting strengths to the lights following compensation criteria according to the light coming in from outside.
What does DALI mean in lighting?
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface
DALI is stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface.
What is DALI driver?
Inventronics indoor and outdoor DALI-certified programmable LED drivers range from 40W up to 600W. DALI is an international lighting standard that provides a single interface for all light sources and controllers. These Controls-Ready drivers are designed with enhanced features to provide top-of-the-line performance.
How can I learn KNX?

What’s DALI?
DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. DALI is a two-way open protocol – a digital, internationally adopted language used to control lighting such as LED Drivers. This allows information to be transferred between devices, such as lighting commands, fault details and diagnostics.
What is DALI network?
Technical overview. A DALI network consists of at least one application controller and bus power supply (which may be built into any of the products) as well as input devices (e.g. sensors and push-buttons), control gear (e.g., electrical ballasts, LED drivers and dimmers) with DALI interfaces.
How is DALI wired?
A DALI power supply can be wired at any position along the line wire and is used to facilitate communication between the DALI devices and the control system. DALI devices will respond to the control system by shorting the two control wires together. A Room Controller can help make DALI wiring even simpler.
What is KNX virtual?
KNX Virtual is a Windows-based application simulating a KNX installation. KNX Virtual allows you to get acquainted with the KNX technology by setting up a simulated KNX installation, for free. KNX Virtual helps to learn the basics and to gain more confidence in working with KNX before you start your first real project.
Is KNX software free?
At https://my.knx.org, KNX Virtual can be downloaded for free and then used anytime, anywhere. An Internet connection is not required for the actual use.
What is the difference between Dali and KNX lighting control?
Dali is a lighting control system in its own right. KNX is not only a lighting control system but a whole building control protocol. Dali can be integrated into a KNX system giving you more flexibility.
What is the difference between digitaldali and KNX?
DALI – Digital Addressable Lighting Interface – is the true specialized standard for professional digital lighting and lighting control. And KNX is the open Standard for the control in of various building management sub system in general.
What is the DALI protocol?
DALI is a well known commercial Lighting control protocol that can be used with or independent to KNX. DALI allows the addressing of individual ballasts in lines of 64 devices for measures of light level control & reporting.
What is addressable DALI lighting?
Addressable DALI lighting is organised in lines, or ‘universes’, of up to 64 addressable DALI ballasts. These are connected to luminaries and are each provided with a 230V and two-wire control bus (made simpler with a five-core cable), most often in a snaking daisy chain of up to 300m.
