Introduction
®
The ABB i-bus DALI-Gateway DG/S 8.1 is the link between DALI equipment
and the KNX. 8 DALI outputs (channels) can be connected to the DALI-
Gateway DG/S 8.1 with a maximum of 16 per channel. Up to 128 devices
with a DALI interface can be connected to the DALI Gateway. No further
DALI system devices are required such as a DALI power source, controller,
function module or switch. In addition, no addressing or commissioning
of the DALI devices needs to be carried out.
The functions of switching, dimming, setting brightness values, lamp and
ballast error signals are available for each output. A lamp burn-in time and
16 lightscenes can be set. A slave operation – in order to integrate the
individual channels in a constant light control – rounds off the functions.
The manual gives detailed information about the installation, programming
and parameterisation of the device and explains the use of the DG/S 8.1
by way of examples.
When reading the manual, you obtain the necessary knowledge to integrate
the DALI-Gateway DG/S 8.1 into an KNX building system. An attempt has
also been made to make the manual as understandable and complete for
those who have not previously had much experience with DALI.
To be familiar with the Engineering Tool Software ETS is a prerequisite.
