ABB i-bus KNX
Commissioning
DALI device will be automatically
assigned to group 16,
if there is no assignment
to another lighting group.
Options:

No: Lighting group 16 is available as a normal lighting group in the DLR/S. It has the same properties
and functions as the lighting groups 1 to 15.

Yes: The DLR/S initially automatically allocates all DALI devices to lighting group 16. If the DALI
device is assigned to another lighting group, this device will be removed from lighting group 16. Using
this procedure, it is possible to control all DALI devices jointly via the DALI output in the KNX without
any manual DALI group assignment.
Note
Lighting group 16 is only used internally by the DLR/S. The communication objects of lighting group 16
are still available and can be used for example, to make non-assigned DALI devices visible, by
switching on and off without using the Software Tool.
In order to control the lamps on the DLR/S via the KNX, they must be assigned to a lighting group. The
assignment occurs using the Software Tool.
All the lighting groups are indicated on the KNX. Control of the individual 64 DALI devices via the KNX
is not possible with the DLR/S.
All the DALI devices can be controlled via the communication objects DALI output, if they are already
assigned to any lighting group. If this is not the case, it is possible to assign DALI devices, which are not
assigned to lighting group 16, using the parameters described here.
This is performed automatically by the DLR/S. If a lighting group is assigned to another lighting group,
the DLR/S removes the device again from group 16.
The DLR/S does not automatically use a DALI broadcast telegram for the telegrams that are received
via the communication object of output A. Depending on different properties of the DALI devices, e.g.
minimum and maximum dimming values (dimming thresholds), several DALI group telegrams may be
utilized. It is therefore recommended that as many DALI devices as possible with the same physical
properties are compiled into a lighting group.
