ABB i-bus® 1-fold EIB / DALI-Gateway including installation and para- meterisation and explains the use of the gateway using examples. With the ABB i-bus® ® DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1, it is possible to integrate devices with DALI (DALI = Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) interfaces into EIB / KNX intelligent installation systems and to fully utilise the functions of the DALI standard across large areas.
EIB / KNX. The DALI addresses are allocated individually and automatically by the DG/S 1.1. A change of the DALI addresses is possible if required with the separate DGS11 Software Tool, even without ETS. The 64 DALI devices connected to the main channel A can be directly switched, dimmed or controlled with a brightness value using just one EIB / KNX communication object.

ABB i-bus EIB / KNX The 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 can of course be used for every other project. This can be necessary for example where the highest level of flexibility or individual status information for every individual device is required.
The detailed function of the 8-fold DALI-Gateway will not be dealt with in this manual. Refer to the product manual “DALI- Gateway DG/S 8.1” which can be downloaded from the homepage of ABB Stotz Kontakt (www.abb.de/eib). The following diagram illustrates the channel-based function of the 8-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 8.1.
The 1-fold EIB/DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is a modular installation device in proM design for installation in the distribution board on 35 mm mounting rails. The connection to the ABB i-bus® EIB / KNX is implemented via bus connecting terminals. The DALI-Gateway can integrate devices with a DALI interface into an EIB / KNX building installation using the application program "Dim Lightscenes Dynamic 1f/x".
EIB / KNX Assembly and installation The DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is suitable for installation in distribution boards or small enclosures for rapid installation on 35 mm mounting rails to DIN EN 60 715. The mounting position can be selected as required.
EIB / KNX address The assignment of the physical EIB / KNX address of the DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is carried out via the ETS and the programming button on the device. The DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 has a programming button for assigning the EIB / KNX physical address which is located on the collar of the device.
The user program Dim Lightscenes Dynamic 1f/1 is pre-installed. 2.10 Maintenance and cleaning The DG/S 1.1 DALI-Gateway is maintenance free. No repairs should be carried out by unauthorised personnel if damage occurs (e.g. during transport or storage). The warranty expires if the device is opened.
DALI knowledge via the EIB / KNX or by using the DGS11 Software Tool specially developed for the DG/S 1.1. As soon as the 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 is connected to the operating voltage, the DG/S 1.1 independently checks the DALI devices on both channels.
DALI assignment with separate DGS11 Software Tool The use of a specially developed DGS11 Software Tool for the DG/S 1.1 is the most comfortable and convenient way to test and individually readdress the DALI devices connected to the gateway. The DGS11 Software Tool operates exclusively with the 1-fold DALI- Gateway DG/S 1.1 and does not require ETS.
Overview The user program Dim Lightscenes Dynamic 1f/1 must be used for the 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1. Programming is implemented with ETS2 V 1.3 or higher. If ETS3 is used, a “.VD3” type file must be imported.
“General” parameter window In the “General” parameter window the basic settings of the 1-fold DALI- Gateway DG/S 1.1 can be made which affect the gateway with both outputs/channels and all connected DALI devices. Reaction on DALI or EIB bus voltage failure...
Page 24
With this parameter, you determine how the connected DALI devices react when the EIB / KNX power supply or DALI control voltage (DG/S 1.1 operating voltage) recovers. In addition to the “no change” and “Off” states, the “max. brightness value” and “min. brightness value” are available.

“Selected Device On/Off” (the device must be selected beforehand), but rather calls up the corresponding scene values, i.e. if the DG/S 1.1 receives a telegram with the value “1”, the parameterised start scene and subsequently the parameterised end scene in the “Dynamic”...
Channel x “On/Off” (x = 1, 2) only have to control the function of the dynamic operation, i.e. if the DG/S 1.1 receives a telegram with the value “1”, the parameterised start scene and subsequently the parameterised end scene in the “Dynamic”...
DALI devices connected to it. It is a central function (broadcast mode) which relates to all devices of the channel. This function is comparable with the method of function of the ABB i-bus® EIB / KNX 8-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 8.1.
You will find some tips and application examples in this section for practical use of the DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1 Manual operation / test function The DALI-Gateway is equipped with a test button. When the device is connected to the mains voltage, every DALI output can be switched on and off manually in sequence.
The following two solutions have been implemented in the 1-fold DALI- Gateway DG/S 1.1 to control and monitor the 128 DALI devices due to the limited number of 255 communication objects in the bus coupler. 1. Broadcast control of the main and auxiliary channel All devices of a channel can be controlled or read in broadcast mode, i.e.
DALI equipment in use reports a lamp fault. With the DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1, it is possible to detect lamp faults per channel. Detection of the individual defective device is possible by reading the addressing object (Select Device) and the actual status object.
(default state) can be replaced without commissioning. The new DALI device automatically receives the free DALI address of the ballast from the DG/S 1.1 and can assume the functions of the old device with the same technical characteristics. If multiple DALI devices on a channel fail, or there are gaps in the address assignment, it is not possible to guarantee a unique assignment of the replacement device by the DG/S 1.1.
DALI device on a DALI line via the EIB / KNX, it is possible to mix every colour of the three primary colours with the 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1. Specific colour transitions can be generated by retrieving a scene or using dynamic mode. Additional EIB / KNX logic devices and a timer can be used to generate repetitive lighting effects.
Lamp and ballast faults can be detected per channel as well as per device with the DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1. If each lamp should be monitored individually, the device must be selected with the addressing object. The fault is read later .
EIB / KNX 4.10 Assignment of the switch sensor The DALI-Gateway from ABB opens up a variety of possibilities to the user for operating and adjusting the lighting in a convenient, individual and targeted way. The main channel of the 1-fold DALI-Gateway allows individual addressing and control of 64 DALI devices.
Appendix DGS11 Software Tool The DGS11 Software Tool is a useful program for the ABB i-bus® EIB / KNX 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1. Using this tool, it is possible to test and readdress all DALI devices connected to the DG/S 1.1. It is also possible to display a visualisation of the fault status of the ballasts and lamps at a glance.
No installation is necessary to start the DGS11 Software Tool. The .exe file simply needs to be run, e.g. with a double click. ETS is no longer required once the physical device address of the DG/S 1.1 has been assigned.
After the DGS11 Software Tool is started, the user is requested to enter the physical address of the DG/S 1.1 to which the connection is to be established. In order to establish the connection to the EIB / KNX, the PC or laptop must be connected to an RS232 or USB interface on the EIB / KNX.
This visualisation displays an 8 x 8 matrix of the 64 devices with DALI interface which are connected to channel A of the DG/S 1.1. Each device is indicated by a lamp symbol. A green check mark indicates that the device is...
Configuration mode The DGS11 Software Tool features a configuration mode, in which the DALI devices connected to the DG/S 1.1 are tested and the DALI address can be changed to suit the project. The change to configuration mode is implemented by the “Extra” button in the “Configuration mode”.
Page 97
Lamp faults or missing ballasts are displayed in the visualisation mode with symbols. The DALI devices on the DG/S 1.1 are monitored continuously. If the fault status changes it is displayed directly in the software tool. A status change can take up to 90 seconds depending on the number of connected DALI devices.
In order to better comprehend the function of the DGS11 Software Tool, the addressing of the 1-fold DALI-Gateway is described in this section. With the 1-fold DALI-Gateway DG/S 1.1, it is not necessary to perform DALI commissioning (configuration). The DG/S 1.1 automatically detects the connected DALI equipment and assigns an address in ascending order if no DALI address is available.
The DGS11 Software Tool may also be used if more than 2 ballasts have failed in one of the two DALI channels on the DG/S 1.1. If only one ballast has failed and the DALI addresses are assigned without any gaps (normally the case with DG/S 1.1), a ballast without a DALI address (default state) can...
