Parameters

This chapter describes the parameters of the KNX DALI Gateways DG/S x.64.1.1 using the parameter
windows. The parameter windows feature a dynamic structure which means that further parameters or
entire parameter windows are enabled depending on the parametrization and function of the groups.
In the descriptions below, Group x stands for a group, which can consist of up to 64 ballasts. The term
"ballast" refers to a DALI device which can be individually controlled via the gateway. The term
"emergency lighting converter" or "converter" for short stands for a type 1 DALI emergency light with an
individual battery.
The default values of the parameters are underlined, e.g.:
Options:
Indented parameter descriptions indicate that this parameter is only visible when the main (parent)
parameter is parametrized accordingly.
Note
Where the group objects Switch or Brightness value are mentioned in the rest of this document,
the same information applies to the group objects Switch/Status or Brightness value/Status.
Note
If a DALI device is controlled individually, it cannot also be assigned to a DALI group. A DALI device can
be controlled either individually via ballast commands or in a group via group commands. Overlapping
DALI groups are not supported.
Initially the DALI gateway assumes that group control is in use. If a ballast is to be individually
controlled, it must be specifically parametrized in ETS. The ballast concerned must be enabled in the
X ballasts parameter window, which is enabled by selecting individual control in the X DALI
configuration parameter window.
If a ballast is assigned to a group but is set to individual control in ETS, or is not set to individual control
but is not assigned to a group, this is referred to as a ballast-group conflict.
A ballast-group conflict is indicated as an incorrect state by a yellow caution field in the i-bus
Depending on which type of control is required (group G or individual S), the device must be assigned to
a DALI group or removed from its existing group.
To control individual DALI devices and groups together, a joint KNX group assignment is required.
