The thesis discusses the development of the DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface)
system, from its initial version, DALI-1, to the more advanced version, DALI-2, focusing on
improvements in communication and sensor control within these systems. The work presents a
detailed comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the DALI protocol compared to
other modern control systems, highlighting specific features that make DALI suitable for use
in smart buildings and industry in certain cases.
Special emphasis is placed on the components that make up the DALI system, including
controllers, lighting fixtures, sensors, and other devices that enable efficient network operation.
The process of integrating these components into a central control system (CNS) is also
addressed, analyzing key aspects such as system design, device connection, communication
path configuration, and performance optimization. A practical project is presented, serving as
an example of establishing a DALI system in a real environment, where the entire
implementation is described step by step, from planning to final integration.
The thesis also discusses the challenges that arise in communication between different
controllers, especially in cases where multiple masters are used in one system. It outlines
possible issues and solutions that may be encountered when using such multi-master systems,
compared to systems where only one master is present. Based on theoretical research and
practical implementation, the conclusion offers suggestions for optimizing the performance of
the DALI system and the improvements brought by the transition from DALI-1 to DALI-2,
particularly in terms of greater compatibility, improved control, and more precise
communication between devices.
