    ® ABB i-bus Planning and application DALI dimming curve 4.5.1 DALI (logarithmic) curve The DALI dimming curve does not apply for emergency lighting converters, so the curve transformation function is not used on them. The DALI dimming curve is adjusted to the sensitivity of the human eye. This results in a logarithmic characteristic curve for the luminous flux which is perceived by the human eye as a linear brightness sequence.

There is no linear transformation. The KNX brightness value received by the gateway is mapped directly to the lamp power. The logarithmic dimming curve calculates the DALI value, so that for the KNX there is linear mapping between the KNX value and the lamp power.

If a lamp is switched off, the preheat and ignition time are excluded from the fade time.
