DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Self-contained emergency lighting

DALI emergency converters*) and normal DALI devices can be combined as required

Emergency test (e.g. function test, duration test, and battery capacity information) can be triggered via KNX

Test results will be sent back from the emergency converter to DALI and over the DGN/S to KNX

Emergency tests can be triggered and stopped via KNX

Building management system triggers emergency tests and documents the test results*) self-contained emergency devices

STO/G – Slide 7

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Basic Characteristics

Map 16 DALI groups with 64 DALI devices on KNX Thereby lighting groups with a great number of DALI devices can be

controlled simultaneously

A DALI device could be a member only in one DALI lighting group (No overlapping DALI lighting groups, use KNX group allocations)

DALI devices can be controlled via KNX only with 16 lighting groups Programming work is minimized

Great possibilities to visualize DALI failures via KNX Per group a lamp-, ballast- or lamp / ballast failure can assigned

With coded status object you have the possibility to assign the failure status of each of the 64 DALI devices

By means of separate objects the full range of DALI failures and the group or device number of the faulty DALI device will be sent to KNX

The failure telegrams can be blocked via 1 bit communication object.

STO/G – Slide 8

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Basic Characteristics

Set Power On level of the DALI device via KNX This brightness value (Power On level) is stored in the ballast and is thus set

immediately after the ballast operating voltage recovery.

Set DALI fading time via KNX Special lighting time settings, e.g. for coloured lighting, can be controlled flexibly

and individually via a central visualization for the project

14 Light scenes Recall scene via 1byte KNX scene object or 1bit telegram

Store individual brightness of scenes via KNX

Via parameter automatic DALI address assignment can be inhibited DGN/S 1.16.1 does not change the DALI address of DALI devices automatically

DALI light characteristic adjustment DALI light characteristic can be linearised. Such it is possible to increase the

resolution of the KNX control signal

STO/G – Slide 9

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Basic Characteristics

Slave function Inclusion of a DALI gateway in energy efficient lighting control systems

Reaction on switch, dim, scene and brightness commands can be parameterised

Sequence function Up to 10 scenes can be linked together

Repetition of the sequence between 1 and 254 times or endless

Light effects and running lights can be realized without additional time or logic devices

Staircase lighting function Warning before light turned off

Basic brightness

Burn In function is available During the phase of commissioning of electrical discharge lamps it is possible

to allow the switching of the lamps only with 0% or 100% brightness

STO/G – Slide 10

Per lighting group an individual time curve can be adjusted

Staircase brightness and basic brightness are adjustable (0...255)

Time for dimming up, staircase time, time for dimming down and runtime basic brightness are individually adjustable (0...65563s)

Reaction on dim, scene and brightness commands can be parameterised

STO/G – Slide 11

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Emergency lighting tests

The different mandatory tests are controlled by KNX communication objects

The test sequence is subsequently monitored by KNX communication objects, and the results are transferred by further communication objects on KNX

A other possibility is the use of an automated test interval which is controlled by the DALI emergency lighting converter itself

The interval duration can be determined by the KNX parameter

KNX communication objects (2byte- 4byte) transmit the results

STO/G – Slide 12

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Emergency lighting tests

Function test The function test is undertaken by the emergency lighting converter itself The function test is requested at a parameterizable interval in the

emergency lighting converter or by a KNX communication object The operational reliability of the emergency lighting converter electronics

and correct function of a lamp and a switch-over device for an individual battery are tested

Duration test The duration test is used to determine whether the individual battery of

the system is within the limits of the rated operating duration in case of emergency lighting operation.

Partial duration test The partial duration test is controlled (start and stop) by the Gateway The partial duration test is not stipulated or described by the standards It simply offers an additional and enhanced possibility for faster

availability of emergency lighting in a simple and time efficient way without completely discharging the battery

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Slave emergency lighting

Independent of normal emergency situation (230V fault) the DGN/S can switch on the normal lighting with a special slave-emergency brightness

Slave emergency situation triggered by DGN/S itself

Criteria for slave emergency situation could be Number of ballast or lamp fault

Number of emergency converter fault

Fault of Gateway supply voltage

Transfer slave emergency situation to other KNX participants

Condition KNX available

DGN/S is ready for operation

(230V gateway supply voltage is available)

Assignment of DALI devices to DALI groups

If the emergency controller supports the variation of emergency brightness, it can be changed with the tool

DALI Gateway Emergency Lighting DGN/S 1.16.1 Short Description

Application Control of normal DALI illumination with 16

lighting groups via KNX, same as ABB i-bus KNX DALI Gateway DG/S 1.16.1

Additional gateway function between KNX and emergency devices acc. IEC 62386-202

Activate self-contained emergency test cycles and send back test results to KNX

Controlling must be triggered and test results must be stored by superior emergency controller unit
