Configuration
In addition to the common configuration options the following configuration options are available for each channel:
parameter | type | optional/mandatory | communication object | communication object | description | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fault Lamps | ItemId | M | KNX Object #21 or #1483, polled | KNX Object #21 or #2043, polled | True, if there is a lamp error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault Ballast | ItemId | M | KNX Object #22 or #1484, polled | KNX Object #22 or #2044, polled | True, if there is a ballast error for at least 1 DALI device. | |
| Fault DALI | ItemId | O | KNX Object #20 or #1482, polled | KNX Object #20 or #2042, polled | True, if there is a general DALI error. | |
| Fault addressed | ItemId | M | KNX Object #23 or #1485 | KNX Object #23 or #2045 | Used to trigger a normal DALI request and to get the test result. | |
| Emergency Test Start | ItemId | O | KNX Object #58 or #1520 | KNX Object #58 or #2080 | Used to trigger an emergency DALI test for a dedicated device. | |
| Emergency Test Result | ItemId | O | KNX Object #60 or #1522 | KNX Object #60 or #2082 | Used to get the result of an emergency DALI test. | |
| Emergency Test Interval | int | O | Specifies how long the driver will wait between sending two emergency test start requests. | 10 s |
The ABB DG/S x.64.5.1 gateway uses emergency test start and result objects for all devices on one channel – there are no individual objects for each emergency ballast as it is for other gateways. Therefore, there will appear no entry within the Emergency Mapping Definitions. If the emergency configuration is enabled it will appear within the ABB DG/S x.64.5.1 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 |
|---|---|
| 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.
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. |
Please keep in mind that these items will only appear when emergency testing is available for the gateway. For these KNX/DALI gateways the "Emergency Test Start (#58 or #1520)" and "Emergency Test Result (#60 or #1522)" 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 |
|---|---|
| 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":
