4.1 Introduction
The DALI Gateway, REG forms the interface between the ABB-free@home
®
system and a DALI
bus. The device converts the ABB-free@home
®
telegrams and transmits them to the DALI bus.
A maximum of 16 DALI participants can be connected to the DALI Gateway, REG.
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) has established itself as a neutral company
standard in the lighting technology. The range of ballasts, transformers, dimmers and relays
with DALI interface characterizes the modern lighting technology. DALI increasingly replaces
the traditional 1-10 V technology and additionally offers many other functions such as flexibility,
comfort, ambience, functionality and energy savings.
DALI-2 is the ongoing development of the DALI standard (DIN EN 62 386), which improves the
compatibility between manufacturers and also guarantees a downward compatibility to DALI.
Supported are all DALI participants of type 0 (DALI Device Type 0, DT0).

■
Switch-on / switch-off
