Description

The DALI to 0:10V Converter is a din mount 0:10V controller with the following characteristics:

• Sinks or sources current automatically (50mA maximum)
• Supports DALI broadcast, addressing, groups and all standard DALI settings
• UL94V0 material 4 pole DIN mount case
• Removable 12-way terminals top and bottom for easy wiring, 250VAC rated.

DC Supply

For the 0:10V Converter to work it needs to be powered with a 24vdc (>100mA) source. This supply is connected to the 0:10V Converter supply input screw down terminals marked DC IN + & – (though it is not polarity sensitive). When DC supply is present, the “DC OK” status led will illuminate. NOTE: Power supplies are available from Creative Lighting; when selecting a power supply, ensure it complies with all statutory requirements and meets the required values as outlined above.

Note – NC connection shown, optionally change to NO terminal to suit interposed contactor type

0-10v Connection
Connect the 0-10V connection from the Converter to the 0-10V input of the 0:10V devices. NOTE that unlike DALI, 0-10V is polarity sensitive and must be connected accordingly. Optionally connect the active to the normally open (NO) input on the relay and connect the active running to the 010V devices to the common (COM) on the relay. As not all 0:10V devices will dim down to off with the 0-10V signal, an internal relay is used to disconnect power to them when an off command is received via DALI. This connection doesn’t have to be made if the connected 0:10V devices can dim to down to off. A normally closed (NC) contact is also given which operates in opposite to the normally open (NO) input. This is provided for specialty cases and isn’t needed during normal use. The DALI to 0-10V Converter can sink or source 50mA of current on the 0-10V line. Typical 0-10V devices use 1mA each and up to 2mA. The maximum number of 0-10V devices then varies between 25 to 50 devices depending on their current requirements. As 0-10V systems do not support addressing, all connected devices will be controlled together. The range of 0-10V output is from 70mV to 9.48V (devices typically reach their min and max before this).

NOTE: Voltage measured under no load. Results may vary slightly under different load conditions.

DALI Connection

The DALI line wires are connected in the screw terminals at the bottom right of the enclosure. NOTE: DALI is not polarity sensitive. DALI Standard requires a minimum cable diameter of 1mm sq (larger for longer runs) and not more than 2VDC voltage drop.
The 0-10V Converter will appear and behave like a single DALI luminaire. It will take one short address and supports all the standard DALI commands and settings such as broadcast, addressing, groups, scenes, fade times, etc.
The DALI to 0-10V Converter will directly translate DALI arc levels to 0-10V values. This means it won’t follow the DALI dimming curve and will provide a linear output, as such the same ratio is kept. See the table below for example conversions:

DALI Arc Level| % of DALI Maximum (254)| 0:10V Value| % of 0:10V Maximum (9.48)
---|---|---|---
64| ~25%| 2.37V| 25%
127| 50%| 4.69V| ~50%
191| ~75%| 7.06V| ~75%

DALI Device Type 5 Support
The DALI 0-10V complies with DALI version 2 and implements one standard DALI device. The 0-10V reacts to all DALI Type 5 Commands including operating mode and dimming curve selection. To receive DALI levels and commands, the DALI terminals should be connected to a DALI line that also connects to a DALI power supply unit and one or more DALI controllers. For more information on the DALI protocol, refer to the DALI Standard documentation.
DALI Fade Time
The DALI fade time allows for the device to set (per channel) a fade time based on Table 1. DALI Fade Times.
Note: A DALI fade time will only be used with Direct Arc Level Commands; a MAX, MIN or OFF command will use the devices instant fade.
Table 1. DALI Fade Times

Extended Fade Times
If the fade time of 0 is selected, then the device will use the extended fade rate to calculate the desired fade. The value that is sent to the device is calculated using the equation (1), where AAAA is the base value, (between 1 and 16) and YYY is the fade time multiplier. The multipliers are shown in Table 2. DALI Extended Fade Multipliers. 0
(1)
Table 2. DALI Extended Fade Multipliers

Example: If you want to set a fade rate of 6 minutes then you would calculate it as shown below.
AAAA = 6 = 0101 (binary)
YYY = 100 (binary)
Byte to send = 0YYYAAAA = 01000101 = 69 (Dec) = 0x45 (Hex)
This fade rate allows for fades between 100ms to 16 minutes.
Dimming Curve
The DALI 0-10V allows for the selection of an appropriate dimming curve; logarithmic or linear. The default mode is linear, due to the nature of the 0-10V. The dimming curve can be selected through the device type 5 extended command 229, where a value of 0 represents logarithmic, and a value of 1 represents linear. The difference between the curves are shown in Figure 2. Log and Linear Dimming Curves.

0-10V vs 1-10V Operation
The DALI 0-10V can be selected to operate in 1-10V mode if required. The off value will still trigger the relay; however the minimum will be 1V. This mode can be selected by sending Device Type 5 Command 224. To set the 0-10V back into its default 0-10V mode, the Device Type 5 Command 225 can be used.
Physical Minimum Selection
The DALI Device type 5 allows for the physical minimum to be set. The physical minimum works differently for logarithmic and linear modes.
When the device is in logarithmic mode, the physical minimum selection will dictate when to cut off power to the 0-10V output. If the physical minimum is set to 10%, then any arc level below 10% will be reduced to 0 and the relay will turn off.
In linear mode, the output is defined by the following equations.

The output will still be from 0-10V or 1-10V, however the arc level required to produce this voltage changes.

Summary

The DALI 0-10V is designed for Type 5 and follows as per the standard the commands in Table 3. Type 5 Commands. The expected responses are outlined, as well as the supported features of type 5.

Table 3. Type 5 Commands

To send a Type 5 command, the Enable Device Type 5 command must be sent first, and then the desired command. The Type 5 command must also be repeated within 100ms in order for it to be successfully read. The ‘Enable Device Type 5’ command must be sent before every type 5 command, it does not enable it indefinitely.
Miscellaneous
The 0-10V contains a memory bank that contains information such as UID, DALI version, Hardware version and software version. This information is all available through reading the memory bank through DALI.
