Intesis DALI to BACnet Server gateway

Order Codes:
INBACDAL0640200 (64 ballasts, 1 DALI channel)
INBACDAL1280200 (128 ballasts, 2 DALI channels)

HOW IT WORKS

The Intesis INBACDAL***0200 Gateway has been specially designed to work as a translator between a DALI installation and BACnet IP or BACnet MSTP based control and monitoring systems.

Intesis acts as a master in the DALI bus, allowing both BACnet IP and BACnet MSTP client/master devices to read and write on all configured DALI signals.

BACnet MSTP devices are connected to the serial port of the gateway, while BACnet IP devices are connected to the Ethernet port. On the DALI side, the gateway simulates a DALI-2 master device allowing other DALI/DALI-2 devices to be present in the DALI channels.

Configuration project and DALI commissioning is done through Intesis MAPS.

FEATURES

Handles conversion between BACnet (IP & MSTP) and DALI/DALI2 ballasts and DALI-2 sensors (occupancy and light instances)
Support for BACnet IP or BACnet MSTP, not both simultaneously*
Designed following DALI IEC 62386 standard and certified by DiiA
Supports parts 201, 202 y 207 for ECGs
Supports parts 303 and 304 for Sensors
DALI line scan (ballast detection) and commissioning
Configuration through IP or USB (Console) port
Front cover LED indicators to provide easy to check communication status on both the Ethernet and serial ports
Includes Intesis MAPS with automatic updates for both Intesis MAPS and Gateway’s firmware
INBACDAL1280200 does not offer BACnet MSTP communication

CONNECTIONS

PROTOCOLS

a close up of a sign

DALI is an industry-standardized protocol, for digital lighting control, and is specified in the multi-part international standard IEC 62386

The digital nature of DALI allows two-way communication between devices, so that a device can report a failure, or answer a query about its status or other information.

Wiring is relatively simple; DALI power and data is carried by the same pair of wires, without the need for a separate bus cable

BACnet is the Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks. Developed under the auspices of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

BACnet is an American national standard, a European standard, a national standard in more than 30 countries and an ISO global standard. The protocol is supported and maintained by ASHRAE Standing Standard Project committee 135.
