This manual provides you with detailed technical information relating to the group-orientated ABB i-bus
KNX DALI Gateway with Emergency Lighting Function DGN/S 1.16.1. The installation, programming and
commissioning and the device are described using examples. Furthermore, basic terminology used with
emergency lighting technology is explained.
The DGN/S is used for control of DALI equipment, e.g. ballasts, transformers or LED converters with DALI
interfaces compliant to EN 62386 via KNX. Furthermore, DALI self-contained emergency lighting (device
type 1) with individual batteries can be integrated to EN 62386-202.
Here the DGN/S 1.16.1 itself does not offer a functionality in terms of the emergency lighting regulations,
e.g. protocoling functions or other associated stipulated functions. It serves as an intelligent mediator be-
tween KNX and DALI.
The different mandatory tests for emergency lighting, e.g. functional tests or duration testing, can be trig-
gered via KNX, and the result can be provided again on the KNX via communication objects.
The DGN/S combines both the internationally standardized and open standards in the digital illumination
control DALI (EN 62386) and intelligent installation system KNX (ISO/IEC 14543-3 and EN 50090).
