DG/S 1.1, DALI-Gateway
®
The ABB i-bus EIB / KNX DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is a modular installation
device with a module width of 4 units in proM design for installation in the
distribution board. The connection to the ABB i-bus
bus connecting terminal at the front of the device. The assignment of the
physical addresses as well as the parameterisation is carried out with the
Engineering Tool Software ETS.
The 1-fold DALI-Gateway (DALI = Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is
used for controlling DALI equipment (ballasts, transformers, LED converters,
actuators, etc.) via EIB / KNX.
The DALI addresses are allocated individually and automatically by the
DG/S 1.1. A change of the DALI addresses is possible if required with the
separate DGS11 Software Tool, even without ETS.
The 64 DALI devices connected to the main channel A can be directly
switched, dimmed or controlled with a brightness value using just one
EIB / KNX communication object. The scanning of the individual lamp or
ballast fault, as well as the activation of a burn-in time or slave operation for
every device is implemented using coded address-based control with two
communication objects. All 64 DALI devices connected to a second auxiliary
channel B can be individually controlled using broadcast mode or address-
based control. Primarily, auxiliary channel B is a broadcast channel which is
used to control all devices from a common source.
Furthermore, the setting of 15 lightscenes via the ETS or via the EIB / KNX
communication object is possible via a push button. The lightscene can be
combined from any of the 128 DALI devices connected to the gateway.
Both channels can be controlled or scanned independently of each other via
broadcast commands.
The lamp burn-in time can be activated individually via coded control or
commonly for all 128 devices.
Group assignment of the DALI devices is implemented with the EIB / KNX
group functions.
The DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 requires an AC or DC auxiliary voltage. The
DALI voltage required for DALI devices is generated by the gateway. 64
DALI devices per channel can be supplied with power.
To enable the DALI-Gateway to function correctly, it must be
ensured that the connected DALI equipment is in compliance with
DIN EN 60929 and thus conforms to the DALI standard. In the
future this standard will be adopted into the IEC 62386 standard.
Communication with other DALI masters such as control or
operating devices is not foreseen or intended.
The special behaviour of the DALI devices must be considered,
e.g. do the DALI devices switch to the "Power ON Level"
stipulated by the manufacturer after voltage recovery. Normally
this is the maximum brightness level (100%).
