The DALI Controller allows the control of all light control devices within the range defined by EN 62386-102, and the DT8 extension. The module allows the control of individual ballasts as well as control by groups, each ballast can be assigned to 16 groups. This makes it much easier to organize lighting control and create advanced control scenarios.  Once you have connected and found the Dali Controller module to your system, the next step is to find the ballasts connected to the DALI bus. Below is a description of how to do this. There are two methods of addressing ballasts: - Automatic addressing – *Dali\_Discovery* method  - Manual addressing - *SetLocalAddress* method **Automatic addressing** is used in a newly created installation where you assign addresses to all ballasts with a single click using the *Dali­\_Discovery* method: ![](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction35136989869originalmEZw3559kkgskrKKVWKqbuZT0Hn4Uw6NMw.png) After calling the *Dali\_Discovery* method, go to the *Embedded features* tab, where observe the value of the *State* feature equal 1 appears, which means that ballasts are searching: ![](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction35136991947original01-rpHvt2_5vCrYI_Mi9ixtG7GsTITJwHA.png) After completing the* Dali Discovery* procedure (*State*=3), information about the number of found ballasts will appear: ![](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction35136994348originalkjFxw1_zAFfqJQO4r1L92xIgFscejqJTXA.png) *CLU Discovery* must be performed in order to appearance of ballasts in Object Manager. ![](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction35136994595originalrl6-EQ8P_1CbOjUfwsNA7pwHCChuIHUzmw.png) The *DALI\_GEAR* objects represent the added ballasts.   **Manual addressing** allows individual ballasts to be addressed using the *SetLocalAddress* method. This function is helpful in case when after *DALI Discovery* the ballast is not found, there is a duplicate address, or there is a need to obtain a specific address order according to the installation order: ![](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction35136997752originalnbPFqxnlf-yauovIf1BiFeVr1xeVaZJKiA.png) ![](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.grenton.plensupportsolutionsarticles35000171530-grenton-dali-dali-discoveryhit.gif) - [Installation guidelines](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/installation-guidelines?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to Prepare Electrical Installation](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/installation-guidelines?hsLang=en#how-to-prepare-electrical-installation) - [Reference devices](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/reference-devices?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integrated Device](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/reference-devices?hsLang=en#integrated-device) - [Most Common Mistakes](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/most-common-mistakes?hsLang=en) - [Electrical Installation](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/electrical-installation?hsLang=en) - [Manuals](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Gate Modbus](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#gate-modbus) - [Training](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#training) - [SW Applications](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#sw-applications) - [Gate HTTP](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#gate-http) - [Smart Panel](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#smart-panel) - [Configuration](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#configuration) - [myGrenton interfaces](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#mygrenton-interfaces) - [Virtual Objects](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#virtual-objects) - [Gate Alarm](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/manuals?hsLang=en#gate-alarm) - [Intercom](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/intercom?hsLang=en) - [FAQ](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/faq?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQ](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/faq?hsLang=en#faq) - [About Grenton](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/faq?hsLang=en#about-grenton) - [Price list and documents](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/en/price-list-and-documents?hsLang=en) [![Grenton logo](https://knowledgebase.grenton.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo_Grenton_variants_BIG_2020_plus_RGB_v0.2-02.png?width=400&height=100&name=Logo_Grenton_variants_BIG_2020_plus_RGB_v0.2-02.png "Grenton logo")](http://grenton.com) Copyright © 2026, Grenton Sp.z o.o.
