Description (English):

IEC 62386-201:2015 specifies a bus system for control by digital signals of electronic lighting equipment. This electronic lighting equipment should be in line with the requirements of IEC 61347. This document is applicable to control gear associated with fluorescent lamps. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009 and constitutes a technical revision. The essential changes with respect to the first edition are: - references to subclauses in IEC 62386-101 and IEC 62386-102 updated to the new structure of the standard; - test sequence reworked and description of the test sequences in form of a pseudo code instead of flow charts.

Abstract

Overview

IEC 62386-201:2015 is part of the IEC 62386 series that defines the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) protocol for electronic lighting control. This Part 201 specifies particular requirements and a bus-system protocol for control gear associated with fluorescent lamps (device type 0). It is a technical revision of the 2009 edition and updates the structure of references and the test-sequence descriptions (now expressed as pseudo code). The standard assumes compliance with lamp controlgear requirements in IEC 61347.

Key topics

Scope and purpose: Defines protocol and type-test methods for DALI control gear used with fluorescent lamps; not intended for production-line testing.
Protocol structure: Transmission protocol, frame types, bit encoding and timing follow the general rules in IEC 62386-101 and IEC 62386-102, with device-type‑0 specific extensions.
Variables and encoding:
- extendedVersionNumber uses format “x.y” (major x: 0–62 in bits 7–2; minor y: 0–2 in bits 1–0); current extended version is 2.0.
- deviceType default is 0 (device type 0 = fluorescent lamp control gear).
Commands and control:
- Includes device-type-specific commands (e.g., Command 153 - QUERY DEVICE TYPE returns 0).
- Application extended commands for device type 0 are activated via Command 272 - ENABLE DEVICE TYPE 0.
Electrical and power requirements: References general electrical specifications and interface power supply requirements in IEC 62386-101/102.
Test procedures: Type-test sequences updated to pseudo-code format for clarity; procedures are intended for compliance verification and certification.

Applications

Ensures interoperable, addressable control of fluorescent-lamp ballast and control gear in commercial and industrial lighting systems.
Used by manufacturers to design DALI-compliant fluorescent control gear and to prepare type-test documentation.
Applied by test laboratories and certification bodies to verify standard compliance and by system integrators to ensure device compatibility in DALI networks.

Who uses this standard

Lighting control gear manufacturers (design and compliance)
Test laboratories and certification authorities (type testing)
Lighting system designers and integrators (specifying interoperable components)
Building automation and controls engineers focused on DALI-based lighting solutions
