DIN Rail 2 Channel DALI Interface: DIN-DALI-2 Programming Guide – DOC. 7365A
• Syntax: SENDDALIPKT [LOOP] [ADDR+DATA]
The ADDR+DATA is the raw DALI packet. For more general information on
DALI protocol, refer to the DALI protocol summary in Appendix A, which
begins on page 16.
The ADDR portion determines whether the command is a broadcast to a
group or to a single short address. It also determines whether the DATA byte
is an intensity or a Special Command. Note that both ADDR and DATA are
in hex. Refer to Appendix B on page 19 for ballast address to hex address
translation.
