BM2600-DALI Controller

DALI CONTROL is a complete digital lighting control system. Built on Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and Ethernet standards, the DALI CONTROL system includes distributed intelligent BM2600-DALI controllers spread around a building on an Ethernet network. Each controller uses time schedules, pushbuttons, switches and sensor inputs to control lighting on DALI communications loops.

DALI Control systems using the BM2600-DALI controller are easy to design, install, commission, operate and maintain.

Product Features

• Runs straight out of the box

BM-DALI intelligent controllers are supplied pre-configured so they operates as soon as they are installed. You can control your DALI loops even before the ballasts are addressed enabling contractors to check wiring and to provide basic lighting control during the building construction phase.

• Distributed Control

DALI Control controllers have built-in intelligence so they continue to run schedules and other control functions even when disconnected from your computer or network. The controllers do not require a server to run as they have their own microprocessor and memory. DALI CONTROL intelligent controllers are firmware upgradeable to ensure a long life cycle.

• International DALI Standard

The DALI Control system is built on the international Digital Addressable Lighting Interface standard. Offering true digital control of lighting ballasts each DALI CONTROL controller manages two DALI loops and up to 128 ballasts.

• Control Schedules

Each DALI Control controller includes an integrated real-time clock with automatic daylight savings correction, sunrise and sunset calculation and holiday exceptions. Control Schedules are configured in the controller to automatically switch and vary lighting levels to enforce energy savings.

• 16 Digital Inputs

Each DALI Control controller includes 16 digital inputs for connection to pushbuttons, switches, occupancy detectors etc. The inputs are assigned an input type that defines their behaviour and have integrated warning and override timers that can be used to reduce lighting levels after a predefined period.

• 2 Digital Outputs

Digital outputs are included on the controller to enable control of fans, blinds, switched lighting circuits etc. An output to control a fan can be easily added to a toilet lighting control group providing seamless control of a toilet block.

• Ethernet Networking:

DALI Control controllers include an RJ45 socket for connection to an Ethernet building network. Controllers can then be monitored or controlled from any computer on the system without the need of a server.

• Computer Control

Simply adjust and control desk and office lighting from a computer keyboard or mouse using DALI Control's software applications. Automatically bring on office lights at startup, alter levels from your PC and switch them off at shutdown. You can even link your lights to your screensaver.

• Easy integration with Access Control and Alarm Systems

The DALI Control system can be easily integrated with Security and Access Control systems. Use alarm conditions and card readers to control lighting in a building.

• Configuration Software

The DALI Control software provides easy configuration of DALI groups, inputs, outputs and control schedules. The system is built-on over 15 years of lighting control experience and enables control groups to be simply altered to accommodate changing tenancies and to enforce energy saving practices.

• Status & Error Reporting

As the DALI Control system is built on the DALI standard where every fitting can be monitored, the system provides the status of every DALI ballast and lamp. Failures are reported with type and location details simplifying the task of maintenance staff.

• Future Expansion

Changing tenancies, future expansion and new features are easily catered for using the DALI Control system. The extensible design of the system means that control groups can be re-configured at any time without alterations to wiring. The system can be easily expanded by adding controllers, sensors, loops and ballasts.
