1 General
The ABB i-bus
open standards for digital illumination control DALI (EN 62 386) and the installation system KNX
(ISO/IEC 14 543-3 and EN 50 090) and, at the same time, allows energy-efficient, constant light control.
Up to 64 DALI devices can be connected to DALI output of the DLR/S. The 64 DALI devices can be
individually addressed and allocated as required in up to 16 lighting groups. Control using KNX is
implemented exclusively via these 16 lighting groups.
With eight light sensors, up to eight separate constant light controls are possible that additionally provide
enhanced comfort and automatic energy conservation.
Constant light control can:

reduce operating costs

save energy

guarantee an optimum working environment at constant brightness

provide enhanced lighting comfort in day-to-day operation
The occupancy is also automatically detected in addition to lighting control via a KNX presence detector,
an above average energy saving potential can also be achieved using KNX lighting technology alone.
The following graphic provides an overview of the energy that can be saved by the use of modern,
automatic intelligent installation systems.
