The KNX ABB i-bus DALI Gateway with
Emergency Lighting Function DGN/S
1.16.1 is a KNX- modular installation
device (MDRC) in Pro M-design for
installation in the distribution board on
35 mm mounting rails.
The DGN/S integrates operating devices
with DALI interfaces to EN 62386 into a
KNX building installation. The connection
®
to the ABB i-bus is implemented via a
KNX connection terminal on the device
shoulders.
The DALI output of the DGN/S can be
used to connect up to 64 DALI devices. It
can also exclusively contain 64 DALI
devices for self-contained emergency
lighting compliant to EN 6286-202. Both
"normal" lamps as well as battery oper-
ated emergency lighting can be con-
nected in a mixed configuration to the
DGN/S 1.16.1.
Control of the lamps via KNX is under-
taken by 16 lighting groups, which can be
comprised of any 64 DALI devices.
An individual project-related DALI device
group assignment is possible using the
DALI-Software-Tool.
The fault status (lamps, ballasts or
emergency light converter) of every
individual DALI device or of the lighting
group is sent via different KNX commu-
nication objects on the KNX.
In addition to the standard functions, e.g.
switching, dimming and brightness value
setting with the corresponding feed-
backs, the DGN/S has the functions
Staircase lighting, Scene, Sequence and
Slave. The lighting groups can be
integrated in this way into a constant
lighting control.
Function, duration and partial duration
tests and battery tests for the emergency
lighting systems with individual batteries
to EN 62386-202 can be triggered and
stopped via KNX. The test results are
made available on the KNX.
All DALI devices can be controlled
together in KNX mode as well as manual
mode.
The DGN/S is a DALI control device
(master) and requires an AC or DC
auxiliary power supply. A separate DALI
power supply is not required. The DALI
power source for the 64 DALI devices is
integrated into the DGN/S.
