The module works as a âtransparentâ gateway allowing sending commands from RS-485 Modbus RTU DALI network and reading data from DALI network via Modbus RTU.
According to DIN EN 60929 standard, each DALI frame consists of address and command (2 bytes in total). In the module, sending data to DALI network is being done with writing needed DALI parcel (2 bytes) to the special register of the module with standard Modbus RTU command. Meanwhile DALI network is permanently scanned by the module and each new command (message) coming through the DALI network is read and stored to another special register of the module (from where it can be read by Modbus RTU âread holding registerâ command).
Size: standard DIN rail 35 mm wide enclosure (89x65x35 mm).
Commands: standard Modbus RTU commands âwrite holding registerâ (write 2 bytes to DALI ad holding register (read the recent 2 bytes come through DALI ange Modbus baudrate, set Modbus module address.
Indication: âpower onâ LED, âDALI transmissionâ LED, âDALI r onâ LED.
Power supply and consumption: 12V 50mA (please, do not forget DALI nds separate power source).
