Dali Memory Recently introduced, DALI now boasts a formal, persistent memory structure for identification and classification of devices. The EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) storage found on most, if not all, DALI devices can be programmed to contain valuable information for Manufacturers, OEMs and DALI professionals alike. Manufacturers can provide additional, customised information for extra functionality. DALI Memory is separated into "Banks". Banks and addresses are selectable using new standard DALI commands designed to return and write EEPROM data. Two banks of memory are defined by the DALI standard (see IEC 62386-102 Standard).
