Commissioning
Note
If there is DALI addressing without gaps, the exchange of a defective DALI device is possible without
additional addressing or commissioning. A new DALI device without a DALI address must only be
installed for this purpose. The DALI Light Controller addresses the new devices with the free address of
the device, which has failed, and transfers the properties that were present in the DALI device removed
beforehand. If the DALI device does not yet have a group address (is new directly from the factory), it
will also receive the group assignment. If another group assignment exists in the DALI device, a conflict
will be indicated in the Software Tool. This can be remedied with the Software Tool by adopting the
DRL/A or ballast information.
If the DALI Light Controller detects several DALI devices with the same DALI address, these DALI
addresses are deleted, and the devices automatically receive the first free DALI addresses in the
address range from the DLR/A.
For further information see:

no: The DLR/A does not automatically assign DALI addresses, neither in normal mode nor at light
controller voltage recovery. If a DALI device with an invalid DALI short address is installed, the DLR/A
can only control it via a broadcast telegram (manual operation or DALI output communication object).
A DALI address is unnecessary for this purpose. If a DALI device with an existing address has been
installed, the DLR/A will not change it. The communication object Trigger DALI addressing is enabled,

Send object "In operation"
Options:
The In operation communication object indicates the presence of the DLR/A on the KNX. The DLR/A
sends a parameterized value to the communication object In operation.
This cyclic telegram can, e.g., be monitored by an external device.

no: The communication object In operation is not enabled.

yes: The communication object In operation is enabled. The DLR/A cyclically sends a telegram with
the value 1 or 0 via this communication object. The following parameters appear:

Options: 1/0
Using this parameter, you determine whether the DLR/A cyclically sends a telegram with the value
1 or 0 on the KNX.
