Perfect light management can also be achieved with a higher-level control solution using a Building Management System and presence sensors. Here, the DALI-2 standard ensures compatibility across manufacturers. This allows the Theben DALI-2 presence sensors to be operated with any multi-master application controller that complies with IEC 62386 Parts 101/104.
As an input device, the presence sensor provides information regarding presence detection and light measurements in accordance with IEC 62386 Part 303 or Part 304 via the DALI bus. The higher-level control system is responsible for providing all the functions, such as switching, constant lighting control, fully/semi-automatic device, manual override and scenes.
The presence sensors also support remote control commands for dimming or switching lamps, controlling blinds, or other functions. The presence sensor sends the information via the DALI-2 bus to the higher-level control system as per IEC 62386 part 301. Using the information, it can trigger desired actions. In addition, a compact DALI-2 push button interface and a powerful DALI-2 switch actuator can be integrated into the Building Management System.
