DG/S 1.1, DALI-Gateway
This manual provides you with detailed technical information relating to the
ABB i-bus® 1-fold EIB / DALI-Gateway including installation and para-
meterisation and explains the use of the gateway using examples.
With the ABB i-bus® ® DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1, it is possible to integrate
devices with DALI (DALI = Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) interfaces
into EIB / KNX intelligent installation systems and to fully utilise the functions
of the DALI standard across large areas.
Up to 64 DALI devices can be connected to a main channel. Every one of
the 64 individual devices can be directly switched, dimmed or controlled with
a brightness value using just one EIB / KNX communication object. A further
64 DALI devices on a second auxiliary channel can be individually controlled
using broadcast mode or coded address-based control with two
communication objects (address & function), e.g. with external logic or
visualisation.
In the single master environment of the DALI, the gateway is a master with
an integrated DALI power supply.
The DALI address assignment of 128 devices is implemented automatically
by the DALI-Gateway. The DALI devices are addressed and allocated to
EIB / KNX communication objects in an ascending and non-arranged
sequence and are immediately available for control.
The DALI address and consequently the allocation to the EIB can be
modified individually with the DGS11 Software Tool even without reference
to an ETS project.
The connection to the ABB i-bus® EIB / KNX is implemented via bus
connecting terminals.
The setting of the parameters is undertaken with the Engineering Tool
Software ETS2 (from version V1.3) or ETS3.
