Configuration

In addition to the common configuration options the following configuration options are available for each channel:

parametertypeoptional/mandatorycommunication objectdescriptiondefault
Manual detect all ballastsItemIdMKNX Object #5If true is sent to this object, a status request for Fault Lamp, Fault Ballast and DALI bus fault is triggered. 
Fault LampItemIdMKNX Object #16True, if at least one DALI device has a Lamp fault.
Fault BallastItemIdMKNX Object #17True, if at least one DALI device has a Ballast fault.
DALI Manage RequestItemIdMKNX Object #639Used to request the error status of a DALI device.
DALI Manage ResponseItemIdMKNX Object #640Response object for error status of a DALI device.
DALI bus faultItemIdOKNX Object #8True, if the is a fault at the DALI bus.

Functional description

The HDL M/DALI.1-B supports one DALI channel with up to 64 DALI devices.

Fault information is provided by the following Server Items which are located directly under the gateway branch within the Server Item Tree:

item namedescription
KNX IP ConnectionThis Item reflects the KNXnet/IP tunneling connection to KNXnet/IP router or interface which is used to communicate with the KNX/DALI gateway.
FaultTrue, if there is either a DALI failure, ballast or lamp fault.
Fault DevicesTrue, if there is a lamp or ballast failure for at least one DALI device.
Fault LampTrue, if there is a lamp fault of one or more DALI devices on the channel. 
Fault BallastTrue, if there is a ballast fault of one or more DALI devices on the channel. 
Fault DALITrue, if the is a fault at the DALI bus.

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.


For each configured DALI device, a sub tree with the name "Device<number>" is shown within the Server Item Tree. Each device has the following Server Items:

item namedescription
NameHuman-readable name of the DALI device. The default name is "Device<number>". This name can be changed within the Device Name Mapping Definitions. 
FaultTrue, if either a lamp or a ballast fault occurred.
Fault LampTrue, if there is a lamp fault.
Fault BallastTrue, if there is a ballast fault.
Test SucceededTrue, if a response is received during the test.
