Enable automatic DALI addressing
Options:
Using this parameter, the automatic DALI addressing process of the DLR/S can be switched off.

Yes: The DLR/S automatically performs a DALI addressing assignment. If the DLR/S locates a DALI
device without DALI address assignment, it automatically allocates the first free DALI address in
ascending order to the DALI device.
Note
If there is DALI addressing without gaps, the exchange of a defective DALI device is possible without
additional addressing or commissioning. A new DALI device without a DALI address need only be
installed for this purpose. The DALI Light Controller addresses the new devices with the free address of
the failed device and transfers the properties that were present in the DALI device removed beforehand.
If the DALI device does not yet have a group address (it is new directly from the factory), it will also
receive the group assignment. If another group assignment exists in the DALI device, a conflict will be
indicated in the Software Tool. This can be remedied with the Software Tool by adopting the DLR/S or
the ballast information.
If the DALI Light Controller detects several DALI devices with the same DALI address, these DALI
addresses are deleted, and the devices automatically receive the first free DALI addresses from the
DLR/S.
For further information see:

No: The DLR/S does not automatically assign DALI addresses, either in normal mode or on light
controller voltage recovery. If a DALI device with an invalid DALI short address is installed, the DLR/S
can only control it via a broadcast telegram (manual operation or DALI output communication objects).
A DALI address is not necessary for this purpose. If a DALI device with an existing address has been
installed, the DLR/S will not change it. The communication object Trigger DALI addressing is enabled,

Send object "In operation" cyclically
Options:
The In operation communication object indicates the presence of the DLR/S on the KNX. The DLR/S
sends a parameterizable value to the communication object In operation.
This cyclic telegram can be monitored by an external device for example.

No: The communication object In operation is not enabled.

Yes: The communication object In operation is enabled. The DLR/S cyclically sends a telegram with
the value 1 or 0 via this communication object. The following parameters appear:
