The DALI gateway Plus forms the interface between a KNX installation and a digital DALI lighting system.
Control of max. 64 DALI operating devices as individual control, group control in max. 32 groups, or central control via a broadcast telegram (group 17 – 32 each with max. 2 operating devices).
Manual operation of the devices also independent of the bus (also building site operation with broadcast control).
Energy-saving function: Deactivation of the power supply to the DALI operating devices possible in a switched-off state (using additional switching actuator for KNX).
16 light scenes.
The groups can be integrated in the light scenes.
Effect control can be configured for max. 16 sequences in 1 to 500 run-throughs (or infinite).
Feedback about DALI error status or short circuit and notification of power supply failure.
Active or passive (object can be read out) cyclical feedback function.
Group feedback of all switching conditions possible.
Feedback can be delayed until after the recovery of bus voltage.
Group and device functions
Switching and brightness value: Active (send to the bus in case of change or cyclically) or passive (object can be read out) feedback functions.
Brightness range can be set.
Bulb-saving switch-on and switch-off
Dimming behaviour can be parameterised.
Time functions (switch-on or switch-off delay, advanced staircase function – pre-warning function in accordance with DIN 18015-2 or reduced continuous lighting).
Block function or alternatively forced setting function can be parameterised for each group. With block function, the flashing of light groups is possible.
Readout of the DALI device status using KNX.
Elapsed-hours meter as forward and backward counter with limit value evaluation.
Online or offline configuration of the DALI devices using ETS plug-in.
Replacement of an individual, defective DALI device is possible during operation without ETS.
Operation of emergency lighting
Suitable for operation in emergency lighting systems.
Control and monitoring of individual-battery and centrally-supplied DALI emergency lighting systems.
Support for DALI emergency light converters in accordance with EN 62386-202 (individual battery-operated emergency lights with DALI interface): Function test, continuous operation test, limited continuous operation test, query of the battery charge.
