DALIGate DIN is DIN rail mounted converter that converts Art­NET/sACN/DMX signal into DALI protocol to include DALI light­ing fixtures into controllable lighting network.

With DIN rail mounting hassle-free installation and ArtNET/
sACN/DMX input, DALIGate DIN is ideal as indoor solution for
mixed lighting control purposes in theatres, small venues, architec­tural installations, industrial, warehouse, and agricultural lighting.

Key features

• 2 DALI interfaces

• No external power supply for DALI is needed

• Simple web interface

• Selectable ArtNET/sACN or DMX512 control

Installation

1. Ensure the device has no damage due to transportation.

2. Mount device on DIN rail.

3. Connect Ethernet cable.

4. Connect DMX line input (if necessary) and DALI lines outputs.

5. Connect the power cable.

6. After few seconds, port status LEDs will indicate the state.

Open device’s web-interface on the computer connected to the
same network as the DALIGate device.

7. Open the Network Settings tab.

8. STATIC IP ADDRESS field will display the address of the de-

vice, SUBNET MASK field will display the network mask. If neces­sary, fill the IP and Subnet fields for the required network settings
(by default, device has IP 2.0.0.100 and Subnet 255.0.0.0). Click
“Save settings” so that the new settings take effect.

Before mounting and power up, it is necessary to verify protec-

tive earthing and cable connections.

DALIGate devices start their normal operation in a few seconds
after they have been powered up. Device always operates based
on last saved settings. Viewing DALIGate settings does not affect
normal operation until any of the settings have been saved. When
changes are saved, the device applies the new settings immediately,
without having to power it down.

Actual control of DALI devices is performed based on DALI
interface conversion mode. If BROADCAST mode selected, value
of START ADDRESS in ArtNet/sACN or DMX universe controls all
devices on DALI line. If GROUP mode selected, 16 values beginning
from START ADDRESS control the groups 0-15. If INDIVIDUAL
mode selected, 64 values beginning from START ADDRESS control
DALI devices 0-63.

Individual addresses of DALI devices are assigned during
search procedure. After all devices found, they may be individually
checked by clicking checkbox. Group number may be assigned to
DALI device, to enable group conversion mode.

Operation

Maintenance the device, search and troubleshooting should be
performed by service personnel. The device should be free from
dirt, dents, connecting cables and wires must be intact and securely
