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 Lamp | ItemId | M | KNX Object #12, polled | True, if there is a lamp error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault Ballast | ItemId | M | KNX Object #13, polled | True, if there is a ballast error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault Converter | ItemId | O | KNX Object #14, polled | True, if there is a converter error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault Gateway Supply | ItemId | O | KNX Object #11 | True, if there is a general gateway supply error. | |
| Fault Mains Connected | ItemId | O | KNX Object #16 | True, if there is a mains connected supply error. | |
| Device Status | ItemId | M | KNX Object #3 | Used to trigger a normal DALI request and to get the test result. | |
| Emergency Test Start | ItemId | O | KNX Object #4 | Used to trigger an emergency DALI test. | |
| Emergency Test Interval | int | O | Specifies how long the driver will wait between sending two emergency start requests. | 10 s |
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 Connecton | 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 Device | 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.  |
| Fault Converter | This 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. |
| Fault Gateway Supply | True, if there is a gateway supply error within the DALI gateway. |
| Fault Mains Supply | True, if there is a main supply error within the DALI gateway. |
Since these gateways also support emergency lighting, it has to be distinguished between a normal DALI test and an emergency DALI test.
item name access description Trigger faulty devices only RW If true then the next test will test only devices that are mentioned in the Faulty devices server item. Otherwise all devices are tested. Trigger Test W Used to trigger a normal DALI test for all devices. Test Running R True, when a normal DALI test is currently running. Number Faulty Devices R Number of faulty devices as determined in the last test execution. Faulty devices R A comma-separated sorted list of numbers of faulty DALI devices.Normal DALI testing server items per DALI gateway
For emergency DALI testing, the following Server Items are available under the sub tree "Emergency":
item name | description |
|---|---|
| Start Function Test | Used to trigger a function test for all emergency DALI lights. |
| Start Duration Test | Used to trigger a duration test for all emergency DALI lights. |
| Stop Test | Used to stop a running test. |
| Test Running | True, if an emergency DALI test is currently running. |
| Fault | True, if an emergency test of at least 1 DALI light failed. |
| Last test faulted | True, if "Last test faulted" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
| Converter defect | True, if "Converter defect" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
| Battery fault or defect | True, if "Battery fault or defect" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
| Fault emergency light | True, if "Fault emergency light" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
Please keep in mind that these items will only appear when emergency testing is available for the gateway. For these KNX/DALI gateways the "Fault converter (#14 or #16)" object 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. |
| Fault Converter | True, for converter fault. Only available for emergency lights. |
| 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, if 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. |
| Stop Test | Used to stop a running test. |
| Remaining Test Runtime | Remaining runtime in minutes for a triggered 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. |
| 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 failed | True, if the function test failed. |
| Duration test failed | True, if the duration test failed. |
Emergency testing server items per DALI device / results per test type
