 KNX Lighting: A Comprehensive Guide to Constant Voltage Lighting Control

KNX lighting revolutionizes intelligent building technology by separating power supply and control. It's composed of sensors, actuators, and a bus line, and supports various transmission media like Twisted Pair (TP), Radio Frequency (RF), IP, and Power Line System (PL). It can control up to 15 lines with 15 area lines and 255 bus participants, making it a powerful tool for building automation.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview for the installation and functioning of DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) systems.

- **DALI** is a manufacturer-independent interface standard allowing the combination of control and operating devices from different manufacturers. It allows individual addressing of every connected device, enabling flexible and targeted control and surveillance.

- **Installation and Wiring**: DALI installation typically includes DALI-compatible ballasts, control devices and a DALI bus cable. The wiring is done via a two-wire line with a maximum cable length of 300 meters. DALI systems can be implemented in various topologies like linear, star-shaped or as a tree structure.

- **Programming and Control**: Up to 16 different scenes can be programmed in a DALI system, creating various lighting scenarios at the push of a button. The DALI control allows operation via various input devices and can be integrated into larger building automation systems like KNX or BACnet.
