Functional description
The Zennio DALIBOX Interface 64-32 supports one DALI channel with up to 64 DALI devices.
Fault information is provided by the following Server Items which are located directly under the gateway branch within the Server Item Tree:
| 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, presence, ballast or lamp fault. |
| Fault Power Failure | True, if there is a power failure within the DALI gateway. |
| Fault Short Circuit | True, if there is a general short circuit on the DALI channel. |
| Fault Presence | True, if at least one DALI device is missing on the channel. |
| Fault Device | True, if there is a lamp or ballast failure for at least 1 DALI device. |
| Fault Ballast | True, if there is a ballast fault of one or more DALI devices on the channel. |
| Fault Lamp | True, if there is a lamp fault of one or more DALI devices on the channel. |
For DALI testing, the following Server Items are available:
| item name | description |
|---|---|
| Trigger Test | Used to trigger a normal DALI test for all devices. |
| Test Running | True, when a normal DALI test is currently running. |
For each configured DALI device, a sub tree with the name "Device<number>" is shown within the Server Item Tree. Each device has 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 ballast 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. |
