12: Data transfer using the Manchester code on the DALI line

Data is transferred using the Manchester code. The signal edges in
the middle of the bit carry the information here. A trailing edge indi-
cates a logical zero and a rising edge a logical one.

2.6.1 Behavior in the event of a fault

If there is no power at the DALI interface (controller faulty or switched
off), the System Failure Level is set. The Power On Level is activated
after a mains voltage failure (230 V). The System Failure Level has the
higher priority.

Both values are set at the factory to 100 % luminous flux, but can
be individually programmed with the Dali Luminaire Tool (DLT) from
OSRAM, for example.

The DALI dimming curve

IEC 62386 defines the dimming range of a DALI controller from 0.1 to
100 %. The dimming curve is shown in the graphic below. As far as
the eye is concerned, this categorization is a linear response

The Weber-Fechner law states that the subjective strength of sensory stimuli is

logarithmically related to the objective intensity of the physical stimulus.
