Develop DALI-compatible devices according to DALI 2 standard in a very short time The update to IEC 62386 means that many devices that still work with DALI-1 now need to be modernised. Lamp and lighting manufacturers seeking to quickly and easily equip their operating or control devices with DALI version 2 can use the stack from MBS. It simplifies the development process for the bus system while saving significant time and costs. Whether for light applications for rooms or buildings of all sizes, complex lighting for stage shows or expensive underwater illuminations – the DALI bus protocol (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) has established itself as the standard for electronic light management in industrial and commercial settings. This is because only a small number of lines is required to energise a huge number of lights and therefore make use of numerous functions. At the same time, the protocol is easy to integrate into the higher-order building automation systems. For over 20 years, DALI-1 has stood alongside IEC 62386 as the standard for lighting control in properties. This standard was updated in 2014 to resolve inaccuracies and improve interoperability. As a result, many products need to be modernised as the updated standard now applies to tenders in the commercial context. As such, lamp and lighting manufacturers seeking to equip their products with DALI VERSION 2 now need to ask themselves: build or buy?
