General information

DALIGate DIN is DIN rail-mounted converter that converts ArtNET/sACN/DMX signal into DALI protocol to include DALI lighting fixtures into a controllable lighting network. With DIN rail mounting hassle-free installation and ArtNET/sACN/DMX input, DALIGate DIN is ideal as an indoor solution for mixed lighting control purposes in theatres, small venues, architectural installations, industrial, warehouse, and agricultural lighting.

Safe operation

In the installation, operation, preventive maintenance, and repairs of the device, the requirements of the safety rules must be followed. To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the devices, please observe the following requirements:

• Use the device only for its intended purpose
• Do not use devices that show signs of a malfunctioning
• Avoid strong physical impacts on the device
• Protect devices and cables from contact with moisture or other corrosive liquids
• Prevent any improper disconnection of the Ethernet cable from the device being disconnected
• Whenever a fault is detected in the device, please contact the manufacturer.

Advantages

• 2 DALI interfaces
• No external power supply for DALI is needed
• Simple web interface
• Selectable ArtNET/sACN or DMX512 control

Installation

Before mounting and powering up, it is necessary to verify protective earthing and cable connections.

1. Ensure the device has no damage due to transportation
2. Mount devise on DIN rail
3. Connect Ethernet cable
4. Connect DMX line input (if necessary) and DALI lines outputs
5. Connect the power cable
6. After a few seconds, port status LEDs will indicate the state. Open the device’s web interface on the computer connected to the same network as the DALIGate device
7. Open the Network Settings tab
8. STATIC IP ADDRESS field will display the address of the device, SUBNET MASK field will display the network mask. If necessary, fill in the IP and Subnet fields for the required network settings (by default, the device has IP 2.0.0.100 and Subnet 255.0.0.0). Click “Save settings” so that the new settings take effect

Warning!
Before mounting and turning on the power, you need to make sure protective ground cable connections and places of their connection

Operation

DALIGate devices start their normal operation in a few seconds after they have been powered up. The device always operates based on the last saved settings. Viewing DALIGate settings does not affect normal operation until any of the settings have been saved. When changes are saved, the device applies the new settings immediately, without having to power it down.

Actual control of DALI devices is performed based on DALI interface conversion mode. If BROADCAST mode is selected, the value of START ADDRESS in ArtNet/sACN or DMX universe controls all devices on the DALI line. If GROUP mode is selected, 16 values beginning from START ADDRESS control the groups 0-15. If INDIVIDUAL mode is selected, 64 values beginning from START ADDRESS control DALI devices 0-63. Individual addresses of DALI devices are assigned during the search procedure. After all devices are found, they may be individually checked by clicking the checkbox. Group number may be assigned to the DALI device, to enable group conversion mode.

Web interface settings

DALIGate DIN devices support configuring most of their parameters through the Web interface using the HTTP protocol (TCP port 80).
