Full title and description
Digital addressable lighting interface - Part 102: General requirements - Control gear. This part of IEC 62386 specifies general requirements, memory and bus configuration rules, and protocol behaviours for control gear intended to be controlled by digital (DALI) signals in electronic lighting equipment.
Abstract
IEC 62386-102:2022 (edition 3) defines the common requirements and data memory model used by control gear in a digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) environment. The 2022 edition is a technical revision that updates scope and references, clarifies memory-bank behaviour (including multi-byte reads), adds bus unit configuration, and updates non-volatile memory (NVM) save-time requirements. It is intended to be used alongside the other parts of the 62386 series to ensure interoperable digital control of lighting control gear.

Scope
IEC 62386-102:2022 is applicable to control gear intended for control by digital signals of electronic lighting equipment. It provides the general requirements for control gear used in DALI-type bus systems and is to be used in conjunction with Part 101 (system/general requirements) and the relevant 2XX parts that give particular requirements for specific types of control gear. The 2022 edition updates and clarifies memory bank definitions, reserved banks, and bus-unit configuration behaviour.
Key topics and requirements
- Common memory bank model and requirements, including updates to memory bank 0 and common memory behaviour.
- Support and rules for reading multi-byte values from memory banks.
- Reserved memory banks and allocation rules updated from previous edition.
- Non-volatile memory (NVM) save-time specification (and removal of the SAVE PERSISTENT VARIABLES command requirement).
- Bus unit configuration and related configuration requirements added.
- Updated normative references and alignment with the 62386 series structure.
These topics reflect the significant technical changes introduced in the 2022 (3rd) edition.
Typical use and users
Primary users include lighting control-gear manufacturers, fixture and driver designers, lighting-system integrators, test laboratories, certification bodies, and specification authors. The standard is used to design interoperable DALI control gear, to prepare product documentation and firmware for control devices, and to run conformance and interoperability testing within lighting installations and building automation projects.
Related standards
IEC 62386 is a multipart standard. Key related parts include IEC 62386-101 (general requirements for control gear in the system context) and the 2XX parts (particular requirements for specific control-gear types). The 2022 edition of 62386-102 cancels and replaces IEC 62386-102:2014 and its Amendment 1:2018. National and regional adoptions (EN IEC / SN EN, etc.) reflect the same technical content.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: IEC 62386-102:2022 is Part 102 of the IEC 62386 series and provides the general requirements for control gear used in digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) systems.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the memory model, protocol behaviours, configuration and bus-unit rules, multi-byte memory reads, NVM save-time requirements, and other general requirements that apply to control gear controlled by digital signals; it is intended to be applied alongside Part 101 and the relevant particular-requirement parts.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Manufacturers and designers of lighting control gear and drivers, system integrators, test labs and certification bodies, product specifiers and consultants working with DALI/control-gear interoperability.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: It is the current (valid) 3rd edition published 16 November 2022; it cancels and replaces IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:2018.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — IEC 62386 is a multipart standard for digital addressable lighting interface (DALI). Part 102 is the general requirements for control gear and is used together with Part 101 (system/general requirements) and the various 2XX parts that cover particular control-gear types.
