DALI-2 development
From DALI-2 complexity to certified success
DALI-2 is the globally recognized standard for intelligent lighting control, enabling drivers, sensors, switches and application controllers to communicate seamlessly over a simple two-wire bus. Its standardized communication ensures interoperability between devices from different manufacturers, making DALI-2 the preferred choice for modern lighting and building automation systems.
While the standard itself appears straightforward, developing a reliable and certifiable DALI-2 product is far more challenging. Precise timing, deterministic behavior, interoperability in multi-vendor environments and compliance with IEC 62386 all require deep embedded expertise. Even small implementation details can lead to unexpected behavior, failed certification tests and costly project delays.
This is where Kendrion 3T makes the difference.
