DDBC120-DALI
DALI MultiMaster Controller
The DDBC120-DALI is designed for cost-effective control of DALI high frequency fluorescent ballasts, providing a
full universe of 64 DALI address & communication to Philips Dynalite DALI user interfaces. Direct DALI to DyNet
mapping means that the DALI-imposed limits, such as the maximum of 16 groups, are seamlessly overcome allowing
for a fully scalable network solution. This leverages the advantages of a true DALI network whilst still allowing and
the full function set of DyNet. This device is DIN-rail mountable, designed to be installed in a switchboard, that is
supplying power to the controlled lighting circuit. The DDBC120-DALI contains an integral DALI bus power supply,
removing the need for the provision of a separate external supply which reduces switchboard wiring complexities.
