Configuration

In addition to the common configuration options the following configuration options are available for each channel:

...

item namedescription
KNX IP ConnectionThis Item reflects the KNXnet/IP tunneling connection to KNXnet/IP router or interface which is used to communicate with the KNX/DALI gateway.
FaultTrue, if there is either a power failure, short circuit, lamp, ballast or converter fault.
Fault Power FailureTrue, if there is a power failure within the DALI gateway.
Fault Short CircuitTrue, if there is a general short cut on the DALI channel.
Fault DeviceDevicesTrue, if there is a lamp, ballast or converter failure for at least 1 DALI device.
Fault LampsLampTrue, if there is a lamp fault of one or more DALI devices.
Fault BallastTrue, if there is a ballast fault of one or more DALI devices.
Fault ConverterThis item is only available for at least one DALI device that supports emergency lighting. If true, there is a converter fault of one or more DALI devices (not for Siemens N141/02).
Fault Power FailureTrue, if there is a power failure within the DALI gateway.
Fault Short CircuitTrue, if there is a general short cut on the DALI channel.

Since these gateways also support emergency lighting, it has to be distinguished between a normal DALI test and an emergency DALI test.

Info

Please keep in mind that these items will only appear when emergency testing is available for the gateway. For these KNX/DALI gateways at least one DALI device must support emergency lighting tests. This means that there must be a "Emergency Mapping Definition" for at least one DALI device. Note that emergency testing is only available for self contained battery lamps.

...

For each configured DALI device, a sub tree with the name "Device<number>" is shown within the Server Item Tree. Each device has at least the following Server Items:

Test Succeeded
item namedescription
NameHuman-readable name of the DALI device. The default name is "Device<number>". This name can be changed within the Device Name Mapping Definitions. 
FaultTrue, if either a lamp or a device fault occurred.
Fault LampTrue, if there is a lamp fault.
Fault BallastTrue, if there is a ballast fault.
Fault Converter
This item is only available if emergency lighting is supported. If true, there is a converter fault.
(Emergency lighting only) True, if there is a converter fault (not for Siemens N141/02).
Test succeededTrue, if a response is received during the test.

If a device is also an emergency light (i.e. it has a valid emergency mapping definition), the following items are available in the sub tree "Emergency":

item namedescription
Test RunningTrue, when an emergency DALI test is currently running.
Start Function TestUsed to trigger a function test for this device.
Start Duration TestUsed to trigger a duration test for this device.
Start Partial Duration TestUsed to trigger a partial duration test for this device.
Start Battery TestUsed to trigger a battery test for this device.
Stop TestUsed to stop a running test.

Last test faultedTrue, if there was no test result response. This may be the case when the DALI does not support emergency tests.
Circuit
Converter defectTrue, if the
circuit
converter is defect.
Fault batteryTrue, if there is a battery fault.
Battery defectTrue, if the battery is defect.
Fault emergency lightTrue, if there is an emergency light failure.
Max time function test exceededTrue, if the maximum time for the function test exceeded.
Max time duration test exceededTrue, if the maximum time for the duration exceeded.
Function test failedTrue, if the function test failed.
Duration test failedTrue, if the duration test failed.
TestResult
Test resultTest result: The raw data as received from the gateway. Time results have to be multiplied by 2 minutes; Battery charge status is from 0 to 255 and has to be converted to percentage.
