RAPIX Zone Controller

The RAPIX DALI Zone Controller is a powerful DALI Application Controller, acting as an embedded Ethernet / DALI controller as part of the RAPIX DALI Lighting Control System.

The Zone Controller supports control functions, scheduling, and the seamless joining of individual DALI lines in a building.

Each Zone Controller can connect up to four physical DALI Lines . Zone Controllers communicate to each other and external systems using Ethernet networking. The Zone Controller software allows DALI Devices and DALI Groups across any DALI Line to be linked together to form DALI Xi Zones and Scenes that suit the building application.

Each Zone Controller also allows up to two RAPIX DALI Ethernet Interfaces to be used to add a further one, two, three or four DALI lines.

External systems connectivity is available using a variety of protocols. These include a native and secured RAPIX protocol, a RAPIX JSON API (DGCM over TCP, HTTP, or WebSocket), MQTT, BACnet, and Modbus. Other protocols are regularly being added.

The rules engine in the controller can track and control DALI devices based upon events in the system.
