Configuration
In addition to the common configuration options the following configuration options are available for each channel:
| parameter | type | optional/mandatory | communication object | description | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fault Lamps | ItemId | M | KNX Object #17, polled | True, if there is a lamp error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault Ballast | ItemId | M | KNX Object #18, polled | True, if there is a ballast error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault DALI | ItemId | O | KNX Object #19, polled | True, if there is a general DALI error. | |
| Diagnostics | ItemId | M | KNX Object #25 | Used to trigger a normal DALI request and to get the test result. | |
| Emergency Test Start | ItemId | O | KNX Object #31 | Used to trigger an emergency DALI test for a dedicated device. | |
| Emergency Test Result | ItemId | O | KNX Object #33 | Used to get the result of an emergency DALI test. | |
| Emergency Mode Active | ItemId | O | KNX Object #35 | True, if the DALI emergency lighting mode is active. | |
| EmergencyTestTimeout | int | O | Specifies how long the driver will wait between sending two emergency start requests. | 10 s |
The ABB DGN/S 1.16.1 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 DGN/S 1.16.1 gateway definition.
Functional Description
These KNX/DALI gateway types provide 1 with up to 64 DALI devices. In addition to normal DALI testing, they support emergency lighting and extended tests for emergency lighting too.
For all these gateway types, the following Server Items are available:
| item name | description |
|---|---|
| KNX IP Connection | This Item reflects the KNXnet/IP tunneling connection to KNXnet/IP router or interface which is used to communicate with the KNX/DALI gateway. |
| Fault | True, if there is either a power failure, short circuit, lamp, ballast or converter fault. |
| Fault DALI | True, if there is a common DALI failure. |
| Fault Device | This communication object is true if there is a lamp, ballast or converter failure for at least 1 DALI device. |
| Fault Lamps | True, if there is a lamp fault of one or more DALI devices. |
| Fault Ballast | True, if there is a ballast fault of one or more DALI devices. |
Since these gateways also support emergency lighting, it has to be distinguished between a normal DALI test and an emergency DALI test.
For emergency DALI testing, the following Server Items are available under the sub tree "Emergency":
| item name | description |
|---|---|
| Emergency Lights On/Off | |
| Start Function Test | Used to trigger a function test for all emergency DALI lights. |
| Start Partial Duration Test | Used to trigger a partial duration test for all emergency DALI lights. |
| Start Duration Test | Used to trigger a duration test for all emergency DALI lights. |
| Start Battery Test | Used to trigger a battery test for all emergency DALI lights. |
| Stop Test | Used to stop a running test. |
| Emergency Lights test running | True, when an emergency DALI test is currently running. |
Please keep in mind that these items will only appear when emergency testing is available for the gateway. For these KNX/DALI gateways the "Emergency Test Start (#32, #40 or #1154)" and "Emergency Test Result (#33, #42 or #1156)" objects must be available and configured in order to support emergency testing. 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:
| item name | description |
|---|---|
| Name | Human-readable name of the DALI device. The default name is "Device<number>". This name can be changed within the Device Name Mapping Definitions. |
| Fault | True, if either a lamp or a device fault occurred. |
| Fault Lamp | True, if there is a lamp fault. |
| Fault Ballast | True, if there is a ballast fault. |
| Test succeeded | True, if a response is received during the test. |
If emergency functions are available, the following items are available in the sub tree "Emergency":
| item name | description | ||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test Running | True, when an emergency DALI test is currently running. | ||||||||||||||
| Start Function Test | Used to trigger a function test for this device. | ||||||||||||||
| Start Duration Test | Used to trigger a duration test for this device. | ||||||||||||||
| Start Partial Duration Test | Used to trigger a partial duration test for this device. | ||||||||||||||
| Start Battery Test | Used to trigger a battery test for this device. | ||||||||||||||
| Last test was | Shows the type of the last test.
| ||||||||||||||
| Last test faulted | True, if there was no test result response. This may be the case when the DALI does not support emergency tests. | ||||||||||||||
| Circuit defect | True, if the circuit is defect. | ||||||||||||||
| Fault battery | True, if there is a battery fault. | ||||||||||||||
| Battery defect | True, if the battery is defect. | ||||||||||||||
| Fault emergency light | True, if there is an emergency light failure. | ||||||||||||||
| Function test triggered but not executed | True, if a function test was triggered but not finished. | ||||||||||||||
| Duration test triggered but not executed | True, if a Duration test was triggered but not finished. | ||||||||||||||
| Function test failed | True, if the function test failed. | ||||||||||||||
| Duration test failed | True, if the duration test failed. | ||||||||||||||
| TestResult | Test 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. |
