Overview

In addition to the KNX voltage the KNX DALI gateway requires a gateway supply voltage to generate the
DALI voltage for full function capability. For the gateway supply voltage range, please refer to Technical
data, p. 13. The KNX voltage is sufficient for KNX programming with ETS.
Thus in an office environment it is possible to pre-program the DG/S exclusively using the KNX voltage
without having to resort to a gateway supply voltage (a 230 V AC/DC supply). As the i-bus
responsible for the group compilation and directly accesses the DALI devices via the DG/S, the gateway
supply voltage is required for the task.
The properties of the groups and ballasts are mutually independent and can be programmed individually.
So it is possible, depending on the application, to freely define every group and to parametrize them
accordingly.
Up to 64 EN 62386-202-compliant DALI emergency lighting converters can be connected to the DG/S with
one DALI output. The emergency lighting converter forms a DALI device pair with a normal DALI device
(ballast) in a lamp with an emergency lighting function. In this case, two DALI devices must be considered.
Emergency lights with LEDs often only feature one emergency lighting converter that combines battery
monitoring and LED control in a single device. In this case, only one DALI device must be considered.
On the DG/S, it is possible to connect both normal DALI devices (ballasts) and DALI emergency lighting
converters (with/without integrated lighting equipment control). However, the total number of 64 DALI
devices may not be exceeded.
The 2-fold DALI gateway accommodates up to 2 x 64 single ballasts, 2 x 16 groups and 2 x 64 DALI
emergency lighting converters. Again, the total number of 2 x 64 DALI devices may not be exceeded. It is
possible to connect a mix of DALI devices.
The following table provides an overview of the functions of the DG/S 64.1.1 and DALI Basic xf/1
application program.
