The group object "Emergency Test Start" (#40 or #1154) has to be configured for "Yes, DGN/S1.16.1 format" within ETS. Otherwise the emergency lighting tests will not work.

The ABB DG/S x.64.1.1 gateway uses emergency test start and result objects for all devices on one channel – there are no individual objects for each emergency ballast. Therefore, there no entries within the Emergency Mapping Definitions are created. If the emergency configuration is enabled it will appear within the ABB DG/S x.64.1.1 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.

For all these gateway types, the following Server Items are available:

item name

description

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 Devices

True, if there is a lamp, ballast or converter failure for at least 1 DALI device.

Fault Lamp

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.  

Fault Converter

True, if there is a converter 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. 

Please note that these items will only be created if 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

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.

Fault Converter

(Emergency lighting only) True, if there is a converter 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":

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.

Stop Test

Used to stop a running test.

Remaining Test Runtime

Remaining runtime in minutes for a triggered test.

Last test was

Shows the type of the last test, according to LaMPS test type encoding.

Last test faulted

True, if there was no test result response. This may be the case if the DALI device does not support emergency tests.

Converter defect

True, if the converter 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.

Test result

Test result: The raw data as received from the gateway. Time results have to be multiplied by 2 minutes; Battery charge status rannges from 0 to 255 and has to be converted to percentage.
