Configuration
In addition to the common configuration options the following configuration options are available for each channel:
parameter | type | optional/mandatory | communication object | communication object | description | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fault Lamps | ItemId | M | KNX Object #21 or #1483, polled | KNX Object #21 or #2043, polled | True, if there is a lamp error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault Ballast | ItemId | M | KNX Object #22 or #1484, polled | KNX Object #22 or #2044, polled | True, if there is a ballast error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault DALI | ItemId | O | KNX Object #20 or #1482, polled | KNX Object #20 or #2042, polled | True, if there is a general DALI error. | |
| Fault addressed | ItemId | M | KNX Object #23 or #1485 | KNX Object #23 or #2045 | Used to trigger a normal DALI request and to get the test result. | |
| Emergency Test Start | ItemId | O | KNX Object #58 or #1520 | KNX Object #58 or #2080 | Used to trigger an emergency DALI test for a dedicated device. | |
| Emergency Test Result | ItemId | O | KNX Object #60 or #1522 | KNX Object #60 or #2082 | Used to get the result of an emergency DALI test. | |
| Emergency Test Interval | int | O | Specifies how long the driver will wait between sending two emergency test start requests. | 10 s |
| Warning |
|---|
| The group object "Emergency Test Start" (#58 or #1520 / #2080) has to be configured for "Yes, DGN/S1.16.1 format" within ETS. Otherwise the emergency lighting tests will not work. |
| Info |
|---|
The ABB DG/S x.64.5.1 gateway uses emergency test start and result objects for all devices on one channel – there are no individual objects for each emergency ballast as it is for other gateways. Therefore, there will appear no entry within the Emergency Mapping Definitions. If the emergency configuration is enabled it will appear within the ABB DG/S x.64.5.1 gateway definition. |
Functional description
These KNX/DALI gateway types provide 1 or 2 DALI channels with up to 64 DALI devices. In addition to normal DALI testing, they support emergency lighting and extended tests for emergency lighting too.
