Some gateways do not have a global KNX communication object for starting an emergency test and for getting the result – they have a separate object for each device. Therefore, the ItemIDs has to be configured for each emergency lighting separately.

This is done in the Emergency Test Mapping Defintions Table:The information provided in this table is required for the LaMPS module to execute emergency tests of DALI devices.

There are 2 basic ways how KNX/DALI gateways handle communication objects for DALI device emergency testing:

Case 1: Communication objects exist per DALI device. The respective group addresses have to be provided for each DALI device.
This applies to the following gateway types:
- Gira/Insta DALI Gateway Plus REG 218000
- Hager Dali gateway KNX TYA670D
- Jung KNX DALI-Gateway Plus 2098 REGHE
- Ipas DaliControl
- MDT DaliControl IP Gateway
- Merten KNX DALI-Gateway
- Schneider KNX DALI-Gateway
- Siemens KNX/DALI Gateway N 141/03, N 141/21, N 141/31
- Siemens KNX/DALI Gateway N 141/02
Case 2: Communication objects exist per DALI line. That is, LaMPS will address the DALI devices on writing. The required group addresses have already been provided in the gateway configuration. In order to treat DALI devices as emergency lights, they have to be mentioned in this table.
Info
If there is no mentioning of a given gateway in this table, then all its devices will be treated as emergency lights.
This applies to all KNX/DALI gateways that are not listed in case 1.

number

parameter	type	optional/mandatory	description	default
Name	string	M	Name of the Dali gateway that is used within the gateway definition.

device (case 1) or device range (case 2)

M

The DALI number of the device (starting with 1).

Case 1: The number of a single DALI device.

Case 2: A list of DALI devices or device ranges is allowed, e.g.

1
1,2,5,6
1-10,12,15-22
