DIGITAL ADDRESSABLE LIGHTING INTERFACE (DALI) FOR LIGHTING NETWORKS

DIGITAL ADDRESSABLE LIGHTING INTERFACE (DALI) FOR LIGHTING NETWORKS

This document defines the reference design for a low-cost digitally addressable lighting interface with these features: Energy conservation, Intelligent building automation, and Master and node Control. It is based on Motorola's ultra-small but ultra-integrated MC68HC908KX8 embedded FLASH MCU, the 2-chip DALI reference design is targeted for both master and node control.

The drive for energy conservation and intelligent building automation has led to the development of the DALI standard for control of lighting networks, especially those involving Fluorescent Ballasts. Backed by the major lighting manufacturers in the world, the DALI interface allows for low cost control of large networks.
