DALItoDMX converts DALI (DT0 - intensity)into DMX512. It is designed for environments that
require integration between the two protocols. DT8 (colour) is not supported.
In its normal mode of operation (Device Mode),
the product enables an existing DALI controller
to control DMX fixtures.
DALItoDMX features a second mode of
operation (Trigger Mode), which can be useful
in some scenarios (see page 6).
Device Mode (normal operation)
In Device Mode (ensure DIP switch 6 is set to OFF), DALItoDMX simulates virtual DALI devices,
each of which controls a single DMX channel. This is shown conceptually in Figure 1 below.
A virtual DALI device acts in the same manner as a normal DALI device and responds to DALI
commands (see Appendix 2 for detail).
All the standard DALI addressing modes (Broadcast, Group, Device and Scene) are supported.

Selecting the number of devices
DALItoDMX offers the user the option to
simulate 1, 4, 16 or 64 DALI devices. The
choice is made via setting DIP switches 3 and
4 as shown in Table 1. The DMX channels
that are not being used are set to zero.
We recommend that DALItoDMX is installed
on its own DALI circuit. However, if the
product is connected to a circuit on which physical DALI devices are already present, care must
be take to ensure that the total number of devices (physical plus virtual) does not exceed 64.
