 Since the communication objects #12, #14 and #16 are only getting true when a configured threshold is exceeded, it is of utmost importance to configure them correctly. In general, it is recommended to use a threshold of 1 in order to see all lamp faults.



Since these 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), the ItemIDs has to be configured for each emergency lighting separately. This is done in the Ipas DaliControl, MDT DaliControl, Merten KNX DALI-Gateway, Schneider KNX DALI-Gateway, B.E.G. DALI/KNX-Gateway, Theben DALI-Gateway KNX#EmergencyTestMapping.

Functional description

These KNX/DALI gateway types provide 1 DALI channel 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 DALI, lamp, or ballast fault.

Fault DALI

True, if there is a general short cut on the DALI bus.

Fault Devices

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

Fault Lamp

True, if the number of lamp faults exceeds the configured threshold. If exceeded, LaMPS is starting to test all configured devices in order to see which device(s) have a fault. 

Fault Ballast

True, if the number of ballast faults exceeds the configured threshold. If exceeded, LaMPS is starting to test all configured devices in order to see which device(s) have a fault. 

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.

For emergency DALI testing, the following Server Items are available under the sub tree "Emergency":

item name

description

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.

Start Battery Test

Used to trigger a battery test for all emergency DALI lights.

Stop Test

Used to stop a running test.

Remaining Test Runtime

Remaining runtime in minutes for a triggered 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 at least one DALI device must support emergency lighting tests. This means that there must be a "Emergency Mapping Definition" for at least one DALI device. 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 device fault occurred.

Fault Lamp

True, if there is a lamp fault.

Fault Ballast

True, if there is a device fault.

Test succeeded

True, if a response is received during the test.

If a device is also an emergency light (i.e. it has a valid emergency mapping definition), the following items are available in the sub tree "Emergency":

item name

description

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 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. 



Last test faulted

True, if there was no test result response. This may be the case when the DALI 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.

Max time function test exceeded

True, if the maximum time for the function test exceeded.

Max time duration test exceeded

True, if the maximum time for the duration test exceeded.

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 is from 0 to 255 and has to be converted to percentage.
