Functionality

Intesis TM continuously polls (reads) all the signals of the DALI lighting ballasts in each line and maintains the updated
values to be served in KNX.
Each of the mentioned DALI point is associated to a KNX group address, with this, the DALI system is seen as one
more KNX device from the KNX system point of view, with the same configuration and operation characteristics
When a change in any DALI point occurs, a write telegram is sent to the KNX bus, of the associated KNX Group. See
details in section 4.
When a telegram is received from the KNX bus, of a KNX Group address associated to a DALI point, a message is
sent immediately to the corresponding DALI lighting ballast device to perform the corresponding action.
In the continuous polling process of the DALI channel, if there is no answer, it is indicated with a virtual signal of
communication error for this ballast in its line.
The KNX physical address address and all relative KNX group addresses must be set in the MAPS configuration tool.
From the configuration tool, it is also possible to scan each DALI channel for available ballasts, add them in
configuration, and configure its individual parameters (short address, preset levels, scenes, etc), according to their
device type (fluorescent light, emergency light, LED module).
