Description
The Digitally Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) has emerged as a standard in Europe to address growing power issues. DALI is known as Annex E of the European electronic ballast standard EN60929 and specifically relates to digitally controlled dimmable ballasts. DALI type ballasts can run at lower power levels than standard magnetic ballasts. With the rise of digitally controlled ballasts, the need for devices that ?talk? to them has increased as well. This application note describes a very simple interface between the RS-232 serial port (available on almost all computers) and DALI, where the PIC16F628 is the core of the interface. The methods and circuits introduced here can be expanded upon to develop more enhanced DALI master control systems.
