    Hi,

    Scenario:
    You have >2 DALI networks in an installation, but it can be part of 1 C-Bus network.
    1) Would you be able to address DALI fittings individually, if needed & how would it be done?

    OR

    2) Would you need network bridges to create multiple C-Bus networks and address the DALI networks with max. 2 DALI networks per C-Bus network.

    I know DALI groups and scenes can be addressed, but assume individual DALI addresses need to be addressed.

    Thanks,
    Brodsky

    There's nothing stopping you having several DALI gateways on a single C-Bus network. If you run out of address space you can use an additional C-Bus Application Addresses for the subsequent DALI networks so that you don't get a clash between the DALI networks.

    Thanks Newman,

    Did not think of that. Will try it.
