  • Page 3: Introduction

    1.1 DALIBOX BROADCAST 6CH DALIBOX Broadcast 6CH and DALIBOX Broadcast 4CH are the KNX-DALI broadcast gateways from Zennio. Featuring six and four DALI channels respectively, they are intended for interconnection of the KNX and DALI buses, thus making it possible to send broadcast control messages (i.e., addressed to all ballasts that may be present)
  • Page 4 Note: certain figures or sections of this manual may refer specifically to DALIBOX Broadcast 6CH. However, please bear in mind that everything applies to DALIBOX Broadcast 4CH as well, with the only difference of the available output channels. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 5: Installation

    To get detailed information about the technical features of the device, as well as on the installation and security procedures, please refer to the corresponding Datasheet, bundled with the original package of the device and also available at www.zennio.com. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico:...
  • Page 6: Compatible Ballasts

    There may be some other (minor) particularities depending on the ballasts and on the lamps in the installation. Therefore, the integrator is advised to perform some testing to ensure compatibility. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 7: Configuration

    (with up to five configurable steps each), being possible to define the dimming type of each step action, among other things. Lock: channel control enabling/disabling, with the additional option to define actions for the lock and unlock events. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 8  Burn-in: mode that prevents the execution of dimming orders during a certain, parameterisable time period after the switch-on of the ballast, with the aim of stabilising the lamp response and of optimising its life time. This feature may be required by certain lamp models. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 9: General Configuration

    After that, an additional press will turn the LED yellow and then off, once the button is released. This way, the device leaves the Test On mode. Note that it will also leave this mode if a bus power failure takes place. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 10 Enabling the Test On mode allows the direct control of every channel with independence of the device parameterisation – the output channels can be controlled in the Test On mode no matter if they have not been enabled in parameters: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 11 Edit parameters. The tab tree on the left shows the “General” tab in the first place. This entry itself comprises the following parameters: Figure 3. General http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 12 Power Supply Error Object: enables/disables a one-bit object (“Error: Power Supply”) that will notify (by sending the value “1” periodically) the existence of a power supply failure. See section 2.2.5. Once the error is over, it will send the value “0” (once). http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 13: Channels

    In such cases, the ballasts will adopt a customisable dimming value named as dimming value during DALI bus failure. Functions: it is possible to configure a set of custom functions per channel: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 14  Dimming Time [n]: sets dimming time n (1-3), between 1 and 255 (seconds or minutes).  Dimming Time Objects: enables three two-byte objects, named “[Ch] Dimming Time n”, which allow changing dimming times parameterised (between 1 and 255 minutes or seconds). This parameter is disabled by default. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...

  • Page 16: Limits

     Maximum Dimming Value: upper dimming percentage allowed. The load will remain at this level in case of receiving a greater value. The dimming curve takes into account all the above limits. ETS PARAMETERISATION The tab ‘Limits’ has the following configurable options available: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 17: Switch On/Off

    Furthermore, it is possible to specify the luminosity level that the channel will adopt when a general switch-on order is executed: either a fixed value (configurable in parameters) or the last value prior to the switch-off (i.e., a memory switch-on). In http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 18: Dimming

    On/Off control: Relative Dimming: modifies the dimming level through orders to increment or decrement it by fixed percentages (“1.6%”, “3.1%”, “6.3%”, “12.5%”, “25%”, “50%” or “100%”), which will be added to or subtracted from the current http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 19 “Dimming Time 3”. See section 2.2.1.  Allow Switching Off via Relative Dimming: sets whether the channel should be switched off in case a decrease order with a dimming value lower than the minimum value parameterised is received. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 20: Error Objects

    In case this is interrupted too, they will obviously switch off. During the power supply error, the channel will not respond to control actions. Other error types will not be reported, either. Nevertheless, the lock objects (see section http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 21 As above case, the detection of this may not be immediate. The lamp error does not interrupt normal channel control nor timed actions, either. Note: not all ballasts are able to detect lamp failures (see section 1.3). http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 22 ETS PARAMETERISATION This section allows enabling the different channel-dependent error types that should be reported to the KNX bus. Note that general power supply error is enabled from the general device settings (see section 2.1). http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 23: Status Objects

    After the error is over, it will be sent (once) with value “0”. 2.2.6 STATUS OBJECTS DALIBOX Broadcast 6CH / 4CH provides different objects that report the current dimming state of the output channel: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 24: Custom On/Off

    These additional controls can be customised with specific dimming levels for the “On” and “Off” states, and may also be configured to perform an immediate or soft dimming. ETS PARAMETERISATION Once the function has been enabled, the following parameters will show in ETS: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 25: Timers

    “0” from the bus. 2.2.8 TIMERS This function allows configuring a simple timer and a flashing sequence in the output channel, being it possible to enable or disable both functions independently. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 26 Simple Timer and Flashing are disabled by default. Once enabled, the “[Cx] Simple Timer” and “[Cx] Flashing” one-bit objects are added to the project topology. An additional parameter tab for each option shows up too. Simple Timer Figure 13. Simple Timer http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 27 Time 3” (see “Dimming times” in section 2.2.1). Note: the simple timer function will be interrupted whenever any other dimming action is commanded, no matter if it falls within the On Duration or during the On/Off delays. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 28 “[Cx] Simple Timer” and that the “0” labels correspond to the arrival of the value “0”, the expected behaviour will be: Action in case of retriggering: nothing Action in case of retriggering: restart Action in case of retriggering = multiply http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 29: Scenes/Sequences

    “0” through the “[Cx] Flashing” communication object. 2.2.9 SCENES/SEQUENCES This feature allows defining different scenes (i.e., specific ambiances or dimming sequences), which can be activated by sending the corresponding trigger values to a one-byte object. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 30 The “Scenes/Sequences” tab in ETS contains the following parameters: Figure 15. Channel “x”. Scenes/Sequences Each scene / sequence activated from this screen will have a specific tab associated, labelled as “Scene/Sequence ‘n’” and containing the following parameters: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 31 Next Sequence: only available if Cyclic has been disabled; allows the execution of another sequence after the last step of the current sequence. The options are “No Sequence” and “Sequence ‘n’” (being ‘n’ a value between 1 and 10). http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 32 / 4CH receives through “[Cx] Scenes/Sequences” the value that triggers the sequence. Finally, if the sequence is cyclic, once the last action ends, the entire sequence will be restarted. An example of custom sequence configuration is shown in Figure 18. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 33: Lock

    Receiving a lock order while running a sequence, a flashing sequence or a timed action will stop the execution of that action. ETS PARAMETERISATION Once this function has been enabled, the following options will show in ETS: http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 34: Custom Initialisation

    On the other hand, opting for a custom initial configuration allows parameterising the desired state after the bus power is restored or after a download. Note: KNX bus failures do not switch off the ballasts, unless their own power supply is interrupted (see section 2.2.5). http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 35: Modes

    The Standby mode can be enabled independently for each channel. When enabled, DALIBOX Broadcast 6CH / 4CH sends a one-bit object to the KNX bus thirty seconds after the channel is switched off. This allows making use of an external actuator to http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 36 It is important to note that this functionality may have certain consequences over ballast replacements or channel error detections. For example: While the Standby mode remains active (i.e., while the ballast power supply remains interrupted), DALI-related errors such as ballast errors, lamp errors, http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
  • Page 37 This functionality entails certain effects over in other functionalities (while the Burn-in mode remains active, any dimming order greater than 0% will be executed as an immediate regulation to 100%, or to 0% in other case): Relative and absolute dimming. Simple timers and flashing. Lock/unlock actions. http://www.zennio.com Soporte técnico: http://support.zennio.com...
