ABB DG/S8.1 DALI Gateway, 8-fold, MDRC

Description

Introduction

The ABB DG/S8.1 is an 8-fold MDRC DALI Gateway for KNX projects, designed as a Single-Master DALI Controller with DALI communication according to EN62386. It provides the interface for controlling standard DALI devices (DT0) according to DALI or DALI-2 in KNX (TP) installations. This device is part of our KNX automation components range.

With 8 separate and independent DALI outputs, the DG/S8.1 can control up to 128 standard DALI devices, with up to 16 DALI devices per channel. The integrated DALI power supply, manual operation, software update capability, and simplified commissioning support practical specification for consultants, installers, integrators, and professional buyers.
