KNX/DALI gateways

Following configuration parameters are common to all KNX/DALI gateways:

parameter

type

optional/mandatory

description

default

parameter

type

optional/mandatory

description

default

Name

string

M

Name of DALI gateway that identifies the gateway within the NETx BMS Platform. The name must be unique for all DALI gateways since it is part of the item ID.

 

Path

string

O

Path used for structure within NETx BMS Platform. Must not contain reserved terms Emergency and Functions.

 

Devices

device range

O

List of DALI devices that are connected to this DALI gateway. The list is a comma separated list of DALI device numbers (starting with 1). In addition, specifying a device range is also possible. If no devices are specified, only the general device-independent functionality (e.g. DALI power fault) is available.
Some examples of valid device lists:

  • 1

  • 1,2,5,6

  • 1-10,12,15-22

 

gateway-specific configuration parameters

Poll Device

bool

O

Specifies whether dedicated communication objects shall be polled or not. All communication objects that are affected by this polling are marked as "polled" within this documentation. If this parameter is set to false, the gateway must be configured in a way that the gateway automatically pushes the data to the KNX bus when it changes ("send on change"). 

true

Poll Interval

number

O

Polling interval in seconds.

5 s

Device Timeout

number

O

Timeout in seconds that LaMPS expects an answer to a read request.

1 s

Trigger Test on Connect

bool

O

If true, a DALI test is triggered when the KNXnet/IP tunneling connection is available.

false

Trigger Test on Faults

bool

O

If true, a DALI test is triggered when a fault occurs.

false

Common and gateway-specific configuration
