Commissioning

3 Commissioning
The parameterization of the DLR/S is performed with the application Control Dim Groups 8f DALI/1 and
the Engineering Tool Software ETS. The application provides the DLR/S with a comprehensive and
flexible range of functions. The standard settings allow simple commissioning. The functions can be
extended if required.
The application is available under ABB/Illumination/Light Controller/.
For parameterization purposes, a PC or laptop with ETS3 or higher and a connection to the KNX, e.g. via
RS232, USB or IP interface, is required.
Note
Commissioning with ETS2 is not possible!
The following work must be carried out:

Assignment of the physical KNX device address (ETS)

Parameterization of the DLR/S (ETS3 or higher)

Grouping of the connected DALI devices with the Software Tool

Commissioning is necessary for constant lighting control. Commissioning is performed using artificial
light and daylight calibration. The selected brightness value for the room is selected with this
calibration. Commissioning can be performed using the Software Tool.
For more information see: online help, Software Tool
The DALI Light Controller assigns every connected DALI device, which does not yet have a valid DALI
short address, the first free address. This automatic addressing can be prevented using a parameter
setting in the ETS application, see
device and the assignment to any lighting group is also possible with the Software Tool, even without ETS.
Note
The DLR/S can only control the lamps which have a DALI short address and that are assigned to a
lighting group. The only exception is in manual mode. In manual mode, all DALI devices can be
controlled in broadcast, irrespective of whether they have a DALI address or assigned to a lighting
group.
If required, you can parameterize the DLR/S so that it should automatically assign all DALI devices not
assigned to a lighting group to lighting group 16, see
Parameter window General, page 43. A re-addressing of the DALI
Parameter window Gx Group, page 67.
