General information for programming

The following general information is useful for programming a DALI application:
About function block (FB)
● All the FBs in CM 1xDALI library are asynchronous instructions. It is recommended to use
the FBs in the same cyclic organization block (OB).
● Most of the FBs in the CM 1xDALI library are triggered by a rising edge, except for
DALI_CTRL (Page 26)and DALI_ECG_SWITCH_DIM (Page 42).
● If you call several FBs at the same time, they are queued. You can check the output
parameters in each FB.
About DALI_CTRL
● DALI_CTRL (Page 26) is the basic FB of CM 1xDALI. DALI_CTRL must be called in a
cyclic OB, and be executed in every cycle. Do not use it in an interrupt OB.
● Each CM 1xDALI works with only one instance of DALI_CTRL FB.
● Specify the hardware ID of connected CM 1xDALI at the DALI_CTRL FB, and then
connect the DALI_CTRL DB with the other FBs through the InOut parameter of CM_DALI.

devices
✓ ✓ The basic status and extended status of control gears, and device status
of sensors.
✓ The address status of DALI device on the bus. CM 1xDALI cyclic queries
all the address status of DALI devices on the bus through the back-
ground detection, and detects the following results:
•
•
•
✓ The basic parameters, extended parameters, group and scene parame-
ters of control gears and device parameters, instance parameters of
sensors. The CM 1xDALI does not store the read-only parameters of the
DALI devices.
The CM 1xDALI stores the operating hour of configured control gears.
5.2 General information for programming
