Hierarchical structure
- Wolfgang Granzer
- Reinhard Mayr (Unlicensed)
To make the organisation of projects with a large number of KNX/DALI gateways more easier, the server items for all KNX/DALI gateways are represented in a hierarchical structure. This structure is defined within the corresponding definition of the gateway (column Path). When imported with the NETx BMS App Secure, the building view of the ETS project is used automatically.
This structure can be found within the item branch NETx\Module\LaMPS\DALI:
Starting with the branch DALI, each sub-branch has common server items.
Normal DALI testing server items per DALI gateway
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. |
Emergency testing server items per DALI gateway
For DALI emergency testing, the following Server Items are available under the Emergency branch:
item name | access | description |
|---|---|---|
Start Function Test | W | Used to trigger a function test for all emergency DALI lights. |
Start Partial Duration Test | W | Used to trigger a partial duration test for all emergency DALI lights. |
Start Duration Test | W | Used to trigger a duration test for all emergency DALI lights. |
Start Battery Test | W | Used to trigger a battery test for all emergency DALI lights. |
Test faulty devices only | RW | If set to True when a test is triggered, only DALI devices that failed the previous test will be submitted to the test. |
Test Triggered | R |
Use this data point as a callback to indicate that a test has been triggered. |
Test Running | R | True, if an emergency DALI test is currently running. |
Stop Test | W | Used to stop a running test. |
Remaining Test Runtime | R | The remaining runtime in minutes of a triggered test. |
Number Faulty Devices | R | The number of devices that failed on the latest test. |
Faulty devices | R | Comma-separated list of device numbers of devices that did not pass the latest test. |
Fault | R | True, if an emergency test of at least 1 DALI light failed. |
Last test was | R | Shows the type of the last completed test, according to LaMPS test type encoding. |
Last test faulted | R | True, if "Last test faulted" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
Last test stopped | R | True, if "Last test stopped" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
Converter defect | R | True, if "Converter defect" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
Battery fault or defect | R | True, if "Battery fault or defect" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
Fault emergency light | R | True, if "Fault emergency light" of at least 1 DALI light is currently true. |
