KNX/DALI Gateway/Twin N 141/14, N141/32 The KNX/DALI Gateways are used for lighting control in buildings. ● Up to 128 fully-fledged DALI channels for individual control of max. 128 DALI lights with automatic group creation ● For color temperature (Tunable White) and color control RGB(W) of DALI Device Type 8 lights according to Part 209 for the realization of e.g.

DALI on the lighting side and via KNX on the building automation side. The KNX/DALI Gateways have one (N 141/14) or two (N 141/32) DALI outputs. A maximum of 64 fully fledged DALI channels and an additional 8 DALI-2 brightness and 8 DALI-2 presence sensors can be integrated for each DALI output.

This makes it possible to control each device individually, and status and error messages can be assigned to a specific electronic control device and therefore to a specific lamp. The KNX/DALI Gateway N 141/14 or N 141/32, for example, can be used for the individual control of DALI devices.

Normal mode In normal mode, ECGs in channels can be switched and dimmed individually without restriction. Control is carried out for each channel by three communication objects (switching, dimming, value setting). A channel assignment of an ECG can only be made to a maximum of one DALI channel.

Control.” The ECG is defined as device type 8. Device type 8 refers to color controllable lights. The unit for color temperature is Kelvin (K). The KNX/DALI gateways N 141/14 and N 141/32 can control the color temperature and brightness of type 8 ECG devices. The devices can be used in human-centric lighting applications, as it can control the color temperature of a DALI LED from warm white to cold white ("Tunable White").

2-point control is the most basic form of lighting control. If the brightness controller is activated (automatic operation), the lighting is switched on as soon as the brightness falls below the configured lower brightness limit. The lighting is switched off once the configured upper brightness limit is exceeded.

Smart channels - new channel concept Fig. 1: new channel concept The new generation of DALI-2 certified KNX/DALI gateways N 141/14 and N 141/32 is equipped with up to two separate DALI outputs (A and B), depending on the version. The line (A or B) forms the top-level DALI instance, which can be connected to up to 64 ECGs and additional sensors.

NOTICE Measures after replacing a device in the KNX/IP network. When a KNX device is stolen from a network or replaced due to a defect, the BCU key must be reassigned (changed) for all other devices in the network. This change is necessary because it cannot be ruled out that the BCU key, which is located in a protected area, can be read For more information on KNX security, including, for example, a security check, refer to the...
