Concept
RP-C-EXT-DALI-M-PD
The RP-C-EXT-DALI-M-PD light module connects to the RP-C room controllers and provides I/O expansion for lighting control with DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface).
The DALI light module enables control of lights equipped with electronic ballasts, LED drivers, and other control gear with DALI interface.
The power distribution capability means that the DALI light module can supply the connected control gear with AC mains voltage (230 VAC) from the module's power input.
The DALI light module is a DALI-2 certified application controller. The DALI light module supports all electronic ballasts, LED drivers, and other control gear that are fully compliant with DALI version-1 or DALI-2.
The DALI light module is part of the RP Series expansion modules for connected room solution and can be combined with other modules from this product range.
DALI Light Outputs with Power Distribution
The DALI light modules have four Light outputs, which are designed for control and power supply of lights with electronic ballasts, LED drivers, and other control gear with DALI interface.
For more information, see DALI Light Outputs with Power Distribution .
RP Series Expansion Module Digital Inputs
The RP Series expansion modules have four digital inputs, which can be used for sensing of dry contact digital inputs in applications such as interfacing with light switches and window contacts.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Digital Inputs .
RP Series Expansion Module Built-in Power Supply
The RP Series expansion light modules with power distribution capability, low-voltage blind modules, and SMI blind modules have a built-in power supply that can accommodate a nominal input voltage of 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Light modules without power distribution capability can accommodate a nominal input voltage of 100 to 277 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Built-in Power Supply .
RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Memory
RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensor have two types of memory, flash memory and RAM.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Memory .
DALI Light Module Supported Building Standards
The DALI light module complies to version 2 of the IEC 62386 standard (DALI-2).
For more information, see DALI Light Module Supported Building Standards .
RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Communication Ports
The RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors have two room bus ports (RJ45 receptacles), which enable connection to the RP-C controller and other expansion modules and multi-sensors on the room bus through a daisy-chain configuration.
For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .
RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Address Switch
Each RP Series expansion module and multi-sensor has a rotary switch, which is used to give the device a unique address on the room bus.
For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .
RP-C Room Bus
The RP-C room bus allows RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors to be connected to the controller for motion detection, luminosity measurements, communication with remote control (RP-C-RC-BLE), and control of electric lights and window blinds.
For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .
RP Series Expansion Module Pluggable Connectors
The RP Series expansion modules have PCB mounted connectors for the power input, outputs and digital inputs. The connectors are mechanically keyed and color-coded, which allows the matching external connectors to be plugged in on site quickly and easily.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Pluggable Connectors .
RP Series Expansion Module LEDs
There is one or more LEDs on the front panel of the RP Series expansion modules.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module LEDs .
RP Series Expansion Module Set Button
All RP Series expansion modules have a Set button on the front. The Set button is reserved for future use.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Set Button .
RP Series Expansion Module Device Installation
The RP Series expansion module can be installed on a DIN rail or flat surface.

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Maintenance Modes
The RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors support different modes that can be used for maintenance purposes.
For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Maintenance Modes .
SmartX IP Controller Device Firmware Management
Using WorkStation, you can update the firmware of multiple SmartX IP Controller devices and their attached SmartX Sensors, RP Series expansion modules, and multi-sensors at the same time with minimum downtime. In particular, the universal upgrade package simplifies the update process and requires minimal user involvement and coordination.
SmartX Sensors, RP Series expansion modules, and multi-sensors are supported by the SmartX IP Controller - RP Series.
