DALI Control Gateway MDT SCN-DA641.04 — 64-channel DALI interface, 4TE DIN-rail module

MDT SCN-DA641.04 is a DALI control gateway offering a 64-channel DALI interface in a compact 4TE DIN-rail module. The device integrates DALI lighting equipment into building automation systems, enabling central control of individual luminaires, scenes and groups. Its compact design and DIN-rail mounting make it suitable for electrical distribution panels in commercial and residential installations where coordinated lighting control and reliable connectivity are required.

Advantages

The gateway supports up to sixty-four individual DALI channels, enabling precise addressing and independent control of a large number of luminaires. Its 4TE DIN-rail form factor saves panel space while providing robust electrical and communications interfaces. The module is designed for easy integration with KNX or other building automation systems, allowing scene management, group configuration and status monitoring from a central controller. The device provides reliable DALI connectivity and reduces wiring complexity by consolidating multiple DALI lines into a single modular unit.

Suitable for

• Commercial office lighting systems requiring centralized scene and group control
• Residential buildings with multiple DALI fixtures and automated lighting schedules
• Retail and hospitality venues needing flexible scene setting and dimming
• Renovation and new-build projects where DIN-rail mounting is standard

Key specifications

• 64 individual DALI channels for addressing and control
• 4TE DIN-rail module size for compact installation
• Interface for integration with building automation systems
• Supports scene and group management of DALI fixtures
• Centralized control and status feedback capabilities

How to use

Install the module on a standard DIN-rail inside the electrical distribution panel. Connect the DALI lines from luminaires to the DALI outputs and link the gateway to the building automation bus or controller following the system wiring diagram. Configure channels, scenes and groups through the automation software or commissioning tool to assign addresses and desired behaviors. After commissioning, monitor and control individual channels or groups from the central controller, adjusting scenes and schedules as required.

Usage recommendations

Ensure proper wiring and polarity for DALI lines and maintain separation from high-voltage mains where specified. Use recommended commissioning tools and follow manufacturer instructions for addressing and scene configuration. Place the module in a ventilated distribution enclosure and verify compatibility with connected DALI drivers and the building automation interface before full deployment.
