System overview The diagram shows how the components of the Light System DALI can be combined not only with ERCO Light Clients but also with conventional ERCO luminaires, with DALI-compatible luminaires of other manufacturers and with peripheral devices such as pushbuttons or sensors. Compared with other lighting control technologies, installation is much simpler. Switching and dimming functions in DALI technology are integral to the luminaire, i.e. in the control gear, with the 2-core control line connecting all participating devices in any topology. The power supply to the luminaires is independent, unchanged and separate to the DALI wiring.
DALI PLUG+ PLAY
The DALI plug and play symbol in the ERCO Program identifies all the Light Clients, i.e. all the DALI-compatible, factory e ncoded luminaires and control gear.

DALI plug and play Every Light Client, i.e. every DALI-compatible ERCO lumi naire, is supplied by the factory with a unique digital code preprogrammed in its DALI control gear. This luminaire ID contains the product and serial number and is key to the exceptional userfriendly functions available when commissioning, programming and operating Light System DALI. The Light Studio software identifies the type of luminaire as well as other relevant information and functions. Uncoded DALI luminaires from other manufacturers can, of course, also be integrated into Light System DALI and displayed by Light Studio. After manually assigning their attributes, they function in the same way as Light Clients.

Plug and play: Light Clients With recessed luminaires, a Light Client consists of the luminaire itself plus a c orrespondingly encoded, separate DALI control gear as a complete package with one article number. The factory encoding of DALI control gear enables fully automatic recognition and display of ERCO Light Clients. The selection of Light Clients currently available covers wide areas of the ERCO product range – from switchable or dimmable spotlights and downlights to specialised lighting tools such as Goborotators or luminaires with RGBW colour mixing technology.
Plug and play: luminaire ID Provided they can be seen, the mounting locations of Light Clients are identified simply by using the “flash” facility in the Light Studio software. However, this is not always the case in large Light System DALI installations. For this reason, every Light Client is now supplied with a separate s ticker stating the unique luminaire ID. The luminaire ID allows each Light Client to be individually identified both during commissioning as well as in the lighting control software. The sticker is to be used by the installer in the appropriate position on the drawing of the reflected ceiling plan to show each Light Client’s mounting position.
