What is BS EN 62386‑301 - Digital addressable lighting about?
BS EN 62386‑301 is a European standard that discusses the requirements of input devices of push buttons for digital addressable lighting interface. It is a dedicated protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting networks.
BS EN 62386‑301 specifies a bus system for control by digital signals of electronic lighting equipment which is in line with the requirements of IEC 61347, with the addition of DC supplies. BS EN 62386‑301 applies to IEC 62386-103:2014 and IEC 62386-103:2014/AMD1 input devices that make the lighting control system sensitive to push-button operations.
Who is BS EN 62386‑301 – Digital addressable lighting for?
BS EN 62386‑301 on Digital addressable lighting applies to:
- Manufacturer of electronic push button
- Quality testing of devices
- Electronic engineer
Why should you use BS EN 62386‑301 – Digital addressable lighting?
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface is a dedicated protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting networks. A push-button (also spelt pushbutton) means for the end-user to interact with a lighting control system and known to be in the released state except while the end-user is pressing it, in which case it is in the pressed state.
BS EN 62386‑301 provides the standardization of the control interface for control devices which is intended to achieve compatible co-existence and multi-master operation between electronic control gear and lighting control devices, below the level of building management systems. BS EN 62386‑301 describes a method of implementing control devices.
BS EN 62386‑301 provides guidance on the insulation process that depends on the connected components. In case internal buttons are used, the input device will have at least supplementary insulation. In the case of externally connected components, it depends on the requirements imposed on these components.
BS EN 62386‑301 provides you with comprehensive information useful for pushbuttons for digital addressable lighting interface.
