Appendix
The DGS11 Software Tool can be exited via the "End" field in the "File"
menu.
When the DGS11 Software Tool is exited, the last selected device remains
switched on. This can be avoided if you change to another channel
beforehand or change to the "Options" parameter window. No device is
selected beforehand in both cases. All devices are switched off if the DGS11
Software Tool is terminated.
In order to better comprehend the function of the DGS11 Software Tool, the
addressing of the 1-fold DALI-Gateway is described in this section.
With the 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1, it is not necessary to perform DALI
commissioning (configuration). The DG/S 1.1 automatically detects the
connected DALI equipment and assigns an address in ascending order if no
DALI address is available.
As soon as the 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is connected to operating
voltage, the DG/S 1.1 independently checks the DALI devices on both
channels. This process is also started after a download or after EIB / KNX or
operating voltage recovery and may take about 60 seconds, depending on
the number of connected DALI stations. If equipment with DALI interfaces is
detected which has not been assigned with a DALI address (default delivery
state, DALI short address 255), the gateway will automatically assign a DALI
address. The detected DALI devices will be assigned the first free DALI
address (0 to 63) in the DALI-Gateway. If no DALI services are detected, it is
assigned with the first DALI address "0" and is made available on the
EIB / KNX as device 1. The second device is assigned DALI address "1" and
is made available on the EIB / KNX as device 2. The sequence in which the
DALI master – in our case DALI interface – finds a device for the DALI-
Gateway cannot be influenced. If the connected DALI device already has a
DALI address (e.g. replacement device from another system), it will not be
changed.
If the new DALI device already has a DALI address which is used in the
DALI-Gateway, one of the two devices with the same address will be
assigned an unused DALI address. In this case, the old DALI device which is
already connected to the gateway may receive a new address.
