Overview

EN IEC 62386-218:2018 - "Digital addressable lighting interface – Part 218: Particular requirements for control gear – Dimming curve selection (device type 17)" defines how digital lighting control gear selects and reports dimming curves on a digital bus system. It is part of the IEC 62386 series for the digital addressable lighting interface and is intended to be used with Parts 101 (system components) and 102 (control gear). The standard ensures interoperable dimming behavior for electronic lighting equipment, including support for DC supplies and conformity with IEC 61347 requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Dimming curve selection: Defines device type 17 functionality for selecting between defined dimming curves (notably standard and linear curves) and rules for switching between them.
• Method of operation: Specifies how control gear must behave when receiving dimming commands, when changing dimming curves, and when using stored levels.
• Transmission protocol & timing: Describes the protocol structure and timing requirements for sending dimming selection and status messages over the digital bus.
• Electrical and power requirements: Covers electrical specification and interface power supply conditions for compliant control gear.
• Commands and variables: Lists required application extended commands (e.g., queries, configuration instructions, special commands such as ENABLE DEVICE TYPE) and the declaration of variables used for reporting and control.
• Conversion and reporting: Includes normative conversion tables (Annex A) for mapping reported light levels between dimming curves and tolerance tables for linear dimming behaviour.
• Normative references: Relies on IEC 62386-101, IEC 62386-102 and IEC 61347 (all parts) for general and control-gear-specific requirements.

Applications and who uses it

• Control gear manufacturers: Implement device type 17 features so drivers and electronic ballasts present predictable dimming behavior and interoperability on a digital lighting bus.
• Lighting system designers and integrators: Ensure systems deliver consistent user experience when switching between dimming curves or combining devices from multiple vendors.
• Specification writers and consultants: Reference the standard to require compliant dimming curve selection and reporting behavior in tenders and technical specifications.
• Test labs and certification bodies: Verify that control gear meets timing, command and conversion-table requirements for product compliance.
• Software and control-device developers: Implement protocol commands, queries and stored-level handling to manage dimming curve selection across networks.

Related standards

• IEC 62386-101 - General requirements for system components
• IEC 62386-102 - General requirements for control gear
• IEC 61347 (all parts) - Requirements for lamp control gear (referenced for electrical conformity)

EN IEC 62386-218:2018 is essential for anyone needing consistent, interoperable dimming behavior across digitally addressed lighting systems and should be used alongside the 1xx base parts of IEC 62386.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 62386 contains several parts, referred to as series. The 1xx series includes the basic
specifications. Part 101 contains general requirements for system components, Part 102
extends this information with general requirements for control gear and Part 103 extends it
further with general requirements for control devices.
The 2xx parts extend the general requirements for control gear with lamp specific extensions
(mainly for backward compatibility with Edition 1 of IEC 62386) and with control gear specific
features.
The 3xx parts extend the general requirements for control devices with input device specific
extensions describing the instance types as well as some common features that can be
combined with multiple instance types.
This first edition of IEC 62386-218 is intended to be used in conjunction with
IEC 62386-101:2014, IEC 62386-101:2014/AMD1:—, IEC 62386-102:2014 and
IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—. The division into separately published parts provides for ease
of future amendments and revisions. Additional requirements will be added as and when a
need for them is recognized.
The setup of the standards is graphically represented in Figure 1 below.
