Introduction Fig. 1: KL6811 The KL6811 enables the connection of up to 64 DALI slaves. The KS2000 configuration software facilitates parameterization via a PC. The PC is directly coupled with the Bus Coupler via an RS232 interface or via the fieldbus. The KL6811 features an integrated power supply unit (24 V ) with electrically isolated output voltage.

Bus Coupler. The KL6811 can also be operated as a DSI master. The Digital Serial interface (DSI) is an even simpler bus system for lighting control. The DSI master sends digital light intensity values serially to the DSI slaves. The brightness of the slaves can be set between 1% and 100%.
To mount the mounting rails with a height of 7.5 mm under the terminals and couplers, you should use flat mounting connections (e.g. countersunk screws or blind rivets). Version: 2.0.0 KL6811...

No mains voltage at the power contacts The terminal points for the power contacts (+24 V, 0 V) must not be connected to 230 V mains voltage un- der any circumstances, since this would destroy the KL6811. Contacts for the DALI control cable (DALI+, DALI-) and mains voltage If the contacts for the DALI control line (DALI+, DALI-) are accidentally connected to 230 V mains voltage, the KL6811 is not destroyed, but switches off.

For the KL6811, the branches Register, Settings and ProcData are displayed: • Register [} 25] enables direct access to the KL6811 registers. • Under Settings [} 25] you find dialog boxes for parameterizing the KL6811. • ProcData displays the KL6811 process data.
Configuration software KS2000 Register You can access the registers of the KL6811 directly under Register. The meaning of the register is explained in the register overview [} 46]. Fig. 14: Register view in KS2000 Settings Under Settings you will find the dialog masks for parameterization of the KL6811 and of the DALI/DSI devices connected to it.
You can specify a number of options for the KL6811 [} 39] on this tab. 4.4.1 Setting up the DALI/DSI devices Click the Scan devices button so that the KL6811 reads in the connected DALI/DSI devices. In this example, 6 DALI devices are shown. Sending DALI commands Click on Devices.
