2 General Product information
2.1 DALI Bus system properties
The cross-functional DALI-Bus (DALI = Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a system used to control
electronic ballasts (ECGs) in lighting technology. The specifications of the DALI communications interface
are set in the international norm EN62386.
The DALI Bus enables the receipt of switch and dim commands. In addition, the DALI can be used for sta-
tus information about light values or the notification of a fault such as a light or ECG failure.
Via the connected control device / gateway (Master), up to 64 individual DALI ECGs (Slaves) can be con-
nected in a DALI segment. When the DALI is commissioned, the ECGs receive an automatically generated
3 Byte long address. Based on the long address a short address between 0 and 63 is assigned during the
further commissioning process. As the address assignment is automatic, the device order is random. The
individual ECGs/lights therefore need to be identified during the further commissioning process (see be-
low).

DALI-Gateway Basic product overview
5 / 94
Public
The addressing of individual ECGs in the system is either based upon the short address (individual ad-
dressing) or upon a DALI group address (group addressing). For this purpose, any number of ECGs within
a segment can be assigned to up to 16 groups. The group addressing in the DALI system guarantees that
switch and dim processes of different lights within a system are performed simultaneously without time de-
lays.
In addition to short and group addresses, the light values of individual DALI ECGs can also be merged into
scenes and addressed via scene addresses.
For a detailed description of the DALI system, please see the DALI handbook at https://www.digitalillumina-
tioninterface.org

2 Channels DALI-Gateway Basic REG-K/2/16/64 MTN6725-0004
The application of the second DALI channel is an identical copy of the first channel.
All functions, objects and parameters are available twice.
Both DALI segments are commissioned separately.
Therefore, both DALI segments are configured independently of each other.
The following documentation describes the configuration and commissioning of one DALI channel as an
example.
2.3 DALI-Gateway product features
The DALI Gateway Basic REG-K (hereinafter referred to as DALI Gateway), is a device used to control
ECGs with a DALI interface via the KNX installation bus. The device transforms switch and dim commands
from the connected KNX system into DALI telegrams and status information from the DALI bus into KNX
telegrams.
The DALI-Gateway is a Single Master Application Controller (in accordance with EN 62386-103). This
means the device must only be used in DALI segments with connected ECGs and not with other DALI con-
trol devices within the segment (no multi-master function). Power supply for the up to 64, resp. 128 con-
nected ECGs comes directly from the DALI-Gateway. An additional DALI power supply is not required and
not permitted. . Supported are ECGs according to EN 62386-102 ed1 (DALI1) as well as devices according
to EN 62386-102 ed2 (DALI2). The device is DALI-2 certified and listed in the corresponding database of
DiiA.
The device comes in a 4 units wide DIN Rail casing so it can be directly integrated into the mains distribu-
tion box.

3.3 Parameter Configuration
The parameters and the corresponding group addresses can then be configured as with any other KNX
product. With the help of the parameters, various operating modes can also be configured, which are de-
scribed in more detail in the chapter: 5 Manual mode.
The DALI specific configuration is performed in the DCA tab. First, the assigment of the ECGs to the de-
sired groups should be carried out.
This work can be carried out offline without connection to the KNX, or without connection to the DALI-
Gateway. The actual DALI commissioning is only possible online, that means a connection to the device is
necessary. In this step, all connected ECGs are searched and found and can then be assigned to the pre-
configured configuration.
After this assignment has been carried out, this special DALI configuration must be loaded into the device.
The "Download" key is available in the DCA tab, see Chapter: 11 DALI commissioning.
In the last step, the parameters and the links to the group addresses should be loaded into the device using
normal ETS download. The device is now ready for operation.
4 Devices for colour control (DT-8)
The DALI-Gateway also supports ECGs for colour control (device type 8 according to EN 62386-209).
Such devices allow for multi-channel colour control (RGB) and thereby enable the mixing of a light colour or
the setting of a colour temperature via DALI.
4.1 DALI device type 8 features
ECGs for colour control (DT-8) are offered by a range of manufacturers. Usually these devices allow for the
direct control of LED modules with multi-colour LEDs. The most common ones are modules with LEDs in
the three colours red, green, blue (RGB), as well as modules with two different white tones (Tunable
White). Occasionally LED modules with a further integrated white channel (RGBW) are offered on the mar-
ket. Whilst it is, of course, possible to control the different colour channels individually, each via a separate
DALI control device for LEDs (Device Type-6), this solution has the disadvantage, that each of these de-
vices is assigned a separate DALI short address. This means that two (tunable white), three (RGB) or even
four short addresses are required to control a module. With a maximum number of 64 available short ad-
dresses per DALI segment, the number of lights that can be used is greatly reduced. With a DT-8 device,
however, only one short address is required for all colour channels and the maximum possible range of 64
lights can be controlled. The DALI standard EN 62386-209 defines different colour control methods for DT-
8 devices. Normally, a certain device supports only one of these possible methods. Therefore please pay
attention to the specifications of the respective manufacturer.
4.2 Colour display via XY coordinates
The display of a colour via two nominated coordinates in a so-called colour space is a common method. By
means of the XY coordinates any point in this space is accessible and as a result any colour can be de-
fined. The diagram used in the DALI standard is the colour space chromaticity diagram according to the
1931 CIE standard. (Cambridge University Press) which is shown in the following graphic.

Colour display via XY coordinates

Public
Figure 1: Colour space chromaticity diagram according to CIE 1931 (Source: Wikipedia)
In devices that support the XY coordinates method, the colour is set via two values between 0.0 and 1.0.
However, because of the physical properties of an LED, even in an RGB LED module not every colour is
practically possible. In practice, it is common to set the value which is closest. Please pay attention to the
instructions of the ECG or light manufacturer. Usually the XY values, which are supported by the lamp, are
specified here. Values outside of the specified range can generate non-reproducible colours.

Colour display via colour temperature

Public
4.3 Colour display via colour temperature
A subset of all possible colours in the colour space are the different white tones. The white tones are found
on one line across the whole colour space.
Figure 2: White tone on Black-Body-Line (Source: Wikipedia)
The points on this so-called black-body-line (BBL) are usually defined via a colour temperature in Kelvin.
This makes it possible to exactly determine the white tone of a light between warm and cool with just one
value. The colour temperature principle is therefore perfect for the control of white light fixtures (tunable
white). DT-8 operating devices set the required colour temperature on an LED module by mixing cool and
warm white LEDs. Of course, as before this is only possible within certain physical limits. With today’s LED
modules colour temperatures between 2000 and 8000 Kelvin are common.
4.4 Colour display via 3 or 4 colour channels (RGBWAF)
Principally, a colour is created by mixing different individual colours (different white tones, RGB or RGBW).
A colour can therefore also be displayed based on the mixing ratio of different single colours, e.g. 50% red,
0% green, 60% blue. The colour definition in this case is not exact but depends greatly on the specific,
physical attributes of the LEDs used to create the colour (wave length, intensity). Nonetheless, the indica-
tion of the primary colour percentages within a system is useful for the relative description of a colour. In
some DT-8 ballasts, the colour is set by stating 3 (RGB) or 4 values (RGBW) between 0 and 100%. Accor-
ing to DALI standard EN 62386-209, up to six colours (RGBWAF) can theoretically be drawn upon. The
DALI-Gateway, however, only supports a maximum of 4 colours, in line with the ECGs that are currently
available on the market.

5.1 1 Channel Device (DALI-Gateway Basic REG-K/1/16/64)
The DALI-Gateway 1/16/64 has 9 operating buttons and LEDs on the front side, which offer numerous pos-
sibilities for manual control and broadcast and analysis functions.
The buttons and LEDs are accessible without having to remove the cover. During KNX bus operation and
in the absence of any errors, all 9 LEDs are switched off. If the gateway detects an error (e.g. a faulty lamp
or KNX failure), only the LED on the Man. button lights up in red and flashes quickly. During programming
(e.g. during installation) all LEDs light up in red and flash slowly.
Activate the manual mode with a long keypress on the button in the bottom right-hand corner.
The manual mode ends automatically 60 seconds after the last time the button has been activated.

If manual mode is active, shortly press the same button again to toggle between the different manual mode
levels. The RGB LED on the Man. button shows which level you are currently on. The individual levels
have the following meaning:
Manual mode level 1
LED on Man. button lights up permanently in green
Use buttons 1/9 to 8/16 to switch DALI groups 1 to 8. The light value of the group changes from 100% (On)
to 0% (Off) each time the button is pressed. The switch status of each group is shown via the LEDs on the
buttons 1/9 to 8/16.
Manual mode level 2
LED on Man. button flashes green
Use buttons 1/9 to 8/16 to switch DALI groups 9 to 16. The light value of the group changes from 100%
(On) to 0% (Off) each time the button is pressed. The switch status of each group is shown via the LEDs on
the buttons 1/9 to 8/16.
Manual mode level 3
LED on Man. button lights up permanently in red
Briefly press button 1/9 to trigger a broadcast command. Whether the command that is sent first is an on or
off command depends on the status of group 1. Each further keypress toggles all lights via broadcast. The
LED on button 1/9 shows the switch status. All lights react to a broadcast command even if group assign-
ment has not yet taken place.
A long keypress on button 5/13 triggers a quick exchange command. This function makes it possible to re-
place a faulty ECG even without the ETS (see chapter ECG quick exchange).
A long keypress on button 6/14 activates the converter inhibit mode. If the power supply for the connected
emergency lights is turned off within 15 minutes after activating the converter inhibit mode, the lights are
turned off instead of changing into emergency mode. This operating mode may be necessary during the
commissioning and installation process to prevent constant emergency lighting and battery discharge.
If the gateway detects a fault, the LEDs on buttons 2/10 to 4/12 and 7/15 to 8/16 show the exact type of
fault. The LED is constantly lit up in red. The faults are as follows:
LED Button 2/10 Converter fault
LED Button 3/11 ECG fault
LED Button 4/12 Lamp fault
LED Button 7/15 DALI short-circuit
LED Button 8/16 KNX fault

If manual mode is active, shortly press the same button again to toggle between the different manual mode
levels. The RGB LED on the Man. button shows which level you are currently on. The individual levels
have the following meaning:
Manual mode level 1 (channel 1)
LED on Man. button lights up permanently in green
Use buttons 1/9 to 8/16 to switch DALI groups 1 to 8. The light value of the group changes from 100% (On)
to 0% (Off) each time the button is pressed. The switch status of each group is shown via the LEDs on the
buttons 1/9 to 8/16.
Manual mode level 2 (channel 1)

Use buttons 1/9 to 8/16 to switch DALI groups 9 to 16. The light value of the group changes from 100%
(On) to 0% (Off) each time the button is pressed. The switch status of each group is shown via the LEDs on
the buttons 1/9 to 8/16.
Manual mode level 3 (channel 1)
LED on Man. button flashes red/green
Briefly press button 1/9 to trigger a broadcast command. Whether the command that is sent first is an on or
off command depends on the status of group 1. Each further keypress toggles all lights via broadcast. The
LED on button 1/9 shows the switch status. All lights react to a broadcast command even if group assign-
ment has not yet taken place.
A long keypress on button 5/13 triggers a quick exchange command. This function makes it possible to re-
place a faulty ECG even without the ETS (see chapter ECG quick exchange).
A long keypress on button 6/14 activates the converter inhibit mode. If the power supply for the connected
emergency lights is turned off within 15 minutes after activating the converter inhibit mode, the lights are
turned off instead of changing into emergency mode. This operating mode may be necessary during the
commissioning and installation process to prevent constant emergency lighting and battery discharge.
If the gateway detects a fault, the LEDs on buttons 2/10 to 4/12 and 7/15 to 8/16 show the exact type of
fault. The LED is constantly lit up in red. The faults are as follows:

Normal mode
18 / 94
Public
6 Operating modes
6.1 Normal mode
In normal mode, groups and individual ECGs can be dimmed and switched without restrictions. The control
of each group and individual ECG is based on three communication objects (switching, dimming, value set-
ting).
ECGs can only be assigned to one DALI group. The DALI-Gateway does not support multi-group assign-
ments on DALI level. If such assignment is required, please use KNX communication objects for this pur-
pose. An additional enable/disable object is available to disable the control via the three communication
objects.
Separate status objects inform about the switch and value status both at group and individual ECG level.
6.2 Permanent mode
If you would like to run an individual ECG or a whole group permanently with a certain light value, (e.g. a
permanently lit corridor or workshop) you can choose the permanent mode option. The ECG or group are
automatically set to the required value after you program or switch on the gateway. Switch and dim objects
remain hidden. Light status, error and service functions, however, are also available in permanent mode.
Should a device in this mode not be running at the pre-set light level because of a special operation (e.g.
identification process on the device display) or fault (e.g. ECG was without power when the gateway was
started) the light level is automatically corrected after 60 seconds.
6.3 Staircase mode
The staircase mode is only available for groups. In this mode, the value set via a switch, dim or value tele-
gram is automatically changed to the switch off value after a programmable time. The lights can be
switched off immediately or in 2 steps (within a minute) or through dim-down (within a minute).
In staircase mode, each additionally received telegram re-starts the internal timer. The lights switch off
when the timer runs out after the most recently received telegram.
The staircase mode can be disabled or enabled via an additional object. If the staircase mode is disabled,
the group behaves as in normal mode and does not automatically switch off. If the mode is disabled whilst
the switch-off timer is already running, the timer stops and the group remains at the currently set value. If
the mode is enabled again, the timer starts again from the beginning.

Night mode
19 / 94
Public
6.4 Night mode
Night-time mode is available both at group and ECG level. The night-time mode corresponds largely to the
staircase mode. The only difference is that the automatic switch-off is dependent on the central night object
of the gateway. If the night object is not set (day), the group behaves as in normal mode. If the object is set
(night), the ECG or group either switches off after a programmable time or it changes into permanent
mode.
6.5 Panic mode (exceptional case)
The panic or emergency mode can be activated via a central object for the whole gateway. All ECGs/
groups that have been enabled for panic mode, permanently switch to a programmable panic light value on
receipt of the object. They can no longer be controlled individually. When the panic mode is switched off,
the devices return to the previous light value or the switch on / switch off value and can again be controlled
individually.
Note: If panic mode is active, scenes and time scheduling are deactivated.
6.6 Operating mode hierarchy
Some of the individual operating modes described above have higher functions and roles for the operation
of the system as a whole. A prioritisation or hierarchy of operating modes is therefore required. The panic
mode has the highest priority. The permanent, normal and night modes and the staircase function have the
same priority and are on the same hierarchy level.
Emergency / Panic Mode (Value fix = 1 … 100 %)
Permanent Mode
(Value fix = 1 … 100 %)
Normal Mode
(Value variable)
Night Mode
(Value variable with ΔT
or fix = 1 … 100 %)
Manual operation is activated by default. It can be deactivated rep. disabled by an ETS parameter.

Recording operating hours
20 / 94
Public
7 Analysis and service functions
7.1 Recording operating hours
The DALI-Gateway allows for the operating hours (burning time) of each group to be individually recorded.
Internal recording is accurate to the second. The value is available externally in an hourly unit with the in-
ternal value in seconds always being rounded. (e.g. 7199 seconds 1 h, 7201 seconds 2h) The record-
ing of operating hours is independent of the dim value. This means any light value > 0% contributes to an
increase in the operating hours of a group. The counter can be re-set (when a lamp is changed). To reset
the counter, the value 1 is written on the communication object “reset operating hours”.
A maximum value can be individually configured for each group (life span), which activates an alarm object
on the KNX bus. This information can be used for maintenance purposes.
7.2 Individual fault recognition at ECG level
A major advantage of DALI technology is the individual recognition of faulty lights or ECGs. The DALI-
Gateway supports this function.
For the analysis, the DaliGateway scans all connected ECGs periodically for ECG and light errors. The
scanning cycles can be configured. If the cycle is 1 second (standard setting), and 64 ECGs are connected,
the complete process of scanning for ECG and light errors takes 128 seconds (1 second per ECG and type
of error). It can therefore take up to about 2 minutes before a fault that has occurred is recognised. For
each ECG a communication object is available to send the information to the KNX bus (1Bit or 1 Byte ob-
ject). The error information is also available on the DCA in the ETS.
The fault status of all individual ECGs and lights can also be queried via a special error status object (ob-
ject number 300, see communication object description below).
7.3 fault analysis at group level
If ECGs are merged into groups, numerous group-specific error data is available in addition to the still avail-
able individual ECG data. For this purpose three different communication objects are available for each
group. In addition to general information such as whether there is an error within a group and of what type,
the complete number of faulty devices within the group and the error rate can be listed via a communication
object. An alarm object is sent when a certain error rate is exceeded. A complex object with a summary of
the data further adds to the analysis options.
For details of group-specific communication objects, please see the communication objects description be-
low.

7.4 fault analysis at device level
Error analysis objects similar to those at group level are also available at device level (i.e. for all ECGs con-
nected to the gateway). The error rate or number of faulty ECG in the whole DALI segment can be made
available via communication objects. In contrast to the group level, at gateway level the percentage and
number of errors can be broken down further according to error type. The alarm threshold for the error rate
can be individually set for ECG, light and converter errors. For further details regarding the communication
objects, please see the communication objects description below.

The colour is set as an HSV value which consists of hue, saturation and value.
The value (V) is set via the value object 41. Further objects are displayed for the hue (H) and saturation
(S).
The hue is set as a value between 0° and 360° and hence rotates around the colour circle. This means that
this value is required to reach all colours in the colour circle.
Figure 5: HSV-colour value (Source: Wikipedia)
The values for saturation and intensity range from 0 to 100%.
Complete saturation and full intensity are reached by selecting 100%.

10 DALI Channel Selection
DALI commissioning is carried out individually for each channel. When calling the DCA, channel 1 is prese-
lected. The selection buttons can be used to select between channel 1 and channel 2 (only in case of using
a 2-channel device).
The following description refers to the commissioning of one channel.
11 DALI commissioning
Following the physical installation and wiring of the DALI ECGs and lights and the electronic commission-
ing, the connected ECGs need to be learnt-in.
To do so, please open the commissioning site in the DCA:
The group configuration is displayed in a tree structure on the left-hand side. The middle part shows a table
for the ECG configuration and names. A list on the right-hand side shows the actual devices found in the
system that have not yet been identified. During the planning phase the list is empty as the ETS is not yet
connected to the system.

To start with you should plan and name the ECGs. Use the description field to enter a name (light number,
room number, etc).
Double-click to display an editing window which will allow you to enter a maximum of 30 characters
opened.
Now assign the individual ECGs to their corresponding groups. Use drag and drop to pull the ECGs onto
the required group in the tree structure on the left-hand side.
Once an ECG has been assigned to a group via drag and drop, the group number is automatically dis-
played in the ‘group number‘ field of the ECG configuration table. If a group assignment has to be solved
again, the command is in the context menu of the ECG configuration table.
You can enter a user-friendly name for the group in the adjacent ‘group description‘ field. ECG and group
names are automatically shown in the group configuration tree (displayed in brackets) as well as in the de-
scription of the ETS communications objects. Alternatively you can also name groups via the parameter
pages:

Having user-friendly names makes it much easier for the system integrator to link group addresses with
communication objects.
Once the planning, parameter setting and linking of group addresses have all been completed the DALI
segment can be commissioned. To do so, please connect the commissioning PC with the ETS to the KNX
system via an interface (RS-232, USB or IP). Once the connection is active, you need to program the phys-
ical address of the gateway. The communication between the plug-in and the gateway is based on the
physical address. Use the ‘commissioning‘ page and the ‘new installation‘ button to start the teach-in pro-
cess of the connected DALI segment.
During the teach-in process all ECGs are automatically recognised and each ECG is assigned a short ad-
dress from 0 - 63. Depending on the size of the connected DALI segment the process can take up to 3
minutes. A bar in the bottom right hand corner indicates how far this process has progressed. At the same
time a display also informs about the current process and the number of ECGs that have so far been found.
The teach-in process of the connected DALI segment can then be started via the 'Commissioning' page
and the "New installation" button.
Once the teach-in process is complete, all ECGs that have been found are displayed in the list of non-iden-
tified devices on the right-hand side.

To identify the devices switch the corresponding lamp on and off. If you select an ECG and press the right
mouse button, a context menu appears from which you can select the required function.
Alternatively, you can also tick ‘on’ in the box ‘Flash automatically‘.
In this case, the flash mode of an ECG starts by itself when a device is selected.
The context menu is also available at group level. During the identification process it might be useful to
switch certain groups or all connected lamps on or off. You can also send broadcast commands via the
context menu, in order to, for example, switch all lights on or off.
Once an ECG has been identified, you can drag and drop it onto the previously planned element in the
ECG configuration table.
Once an ECG has been dragged into the ECG configuration table, it disappears from the list of non-identi-
fied ECGs. At the same time the ‘PLAN‘ flag in the configuration table shows that the ECG has been as-
signed to the planned element. The last colum in the table shows the real ECG short address. Please make
sure that the short address is between 0 and 63.
If an ECG has been wrongly assigned, it can be moved back to the list of non-identified devices using the
same drag& drop mechanism.

The element in the configuration table is now available again (Flag: ‘PLAN (E)‘ Empty) and the ECG re-
appears in the list of non-identified devices from where it can now be moved to a different element if re-
quired.
Please remember that at this point all operations that have been performed are only displayed in the work
space. They are not immediately loaded onto the DALI gateway.
To start the process of downloading the settings onto the gateway and the ECGs, you must press the
‘Download‘ button.
The download can take up to 1 minute. The progress bar informs about the current status.
Once the download is complete, all previously planned ECGs are programmed in the system with the DALI
configuration. The respective devices are marked with an ‘OK‘ flag in the ECG configuration table.
Hint: If no group has been assigned yet, the flag remains at "-" because this ECG can not be switched via
the group control and therefore has no "OK" status.
Attention: Please remember that the download on the ‘commissioning page‘ only programmes the DALI
configuration data onto the gateway and ECGs. The actual ETS application with parameter settings and
group addresses still has to be downloaded onto the device. This is done, as usual, via the normal down-
load process in the ETS.

ECG info and errors
71 / 94
Public
During the commissioning lamps/ECGs are identified visually (ON, OFF, flashing). It is therefore crucial that
all lamps and ECGS operate correctly. If the gateway identifies a lamp or ECG fault during the installation
process, the ECG concerned is highlighted in red.
Faults are displayed both for non-identified devices (right tree) and for ECGs that have already been as-
signed (middle table).
Errors are marked with a red dot. Detailled information is available via double-click (see next chapter).
As the view is not automatically updated and as it may take a few minutes for the DALI gateway to recog-
nise a fault, we recommend that you press the ‘State Sync‘ button a short while after the installation.
This ensures that the displayed status is updated with the actual status and any faults that may have been
detected in the meantime are displayed correctly.
Attention: If an ECG fault already exists during the search process of the initial installation, the device is
usually not detected. This means that the number of ECGs found does not correspond to the number that
was expected. ECG faults are only displayed in the manner described above if the ECG concerned has
been previously programmed and is known to the gateway.

11.3 Operating DALI devices
The DALI devices can be controlled in four different ways.
Broadcast
In this case telegrams that all participating devices react to are sent to the DALI bus.
The commands are executed by all ECGs even if they have not yet been commissioned. Therefore these
commands work independently of the status of the DALI system.
Group control
In this case group telegrams are sent so that a particular group can be controlled. For this process to work
correctly, the ECGs have to have been assigned to groups and the configuration has to be downloaded
onto the gateway.
ECG control
In this case, ECGs can be individually controlled.
Emergency (Converter)
The emergency converter can be set into inhibit mode.
If the power supply for the connected emergency lights is turned off within 15 minutes after activating the
converter inhibit mode, the lights are turned off instead of changing into emergency mode. This operating
mode may be necessary during the commissioning and installation process to prevent constant emergency
lighting and battery discharge.
Initialize ECG
This function is only available in the right tree. This can be used to completely delete an ECG. After this ac-
tion, it is no longer present and can only be found by a post installation. Therefore, this action must be con-
firmed by the operator:
The DCA offers different options to activate these commands. The gateway must be commissioned and a
connection to the gateway must be available for all of the options.

11.4 Post Installation
If you would like to enlarge an already commissioned DALI segment with new ECGs or would like to re-
place several faulty ones in the segment, please use the „post installation“ function.
When you start the post installation in the ETS, the gateway first checks if all previously configured ECGs
are still available in the segment. ECGs that no longer exist or cannot be found are deleted from the gate-
way’s internal memory.
If you are starting the post installation via DCA, you can prevent any deletion by ticking the corresponding
box in the pop-up window (Keep already assigned ECGs).
Sometimes it might be possible to get ECGs with an external programmed short address, even if their long
address is not defined and still 0xFFFFFF. In order to delete those short address, the checkbox can be
ticked (Delete externally programmed Short Address).
Important instruction: Please ensure that all ECGs are powered at the time of post installation to avoid that
those ECGs are deleted from the gateway memory.
In case of the special parameter setting ‘Control ECG Power Line via Object’ the object to power on the
ECGs is sent automatically.
Then the segment is searched for new ECGs. Newly found devices are inserted into any existing gaps or
added on at the end.
(Attention: Please remember that the maximum number of ECGs within a segment is 64!)
As the position (short address) of a newly found device is allocated randomly, you need to identify the lights
and if required assign them to groups.
Afterwards the ECGs can be assigned to a group.

ECG Easy Replacement

Public
11.5 ECG Easy Replacement
When a DALI segment is commissioned, the short address, group assignment (if applicable) and other con-
figuration data are programmed onto the ECG’s internal memory. If you need to replace an ECG because
of a fault, you need to program this data onto the new device.
The DALI-Gateway offers a function that makes it possible to quickly and easily replace individual ECGs.
The “ECG quick exchange“ can be started in the ETS.
The gateway first checks if any of the configured ECGs that are known to it have been reported as faulty.
Then the segment is searched for new, unknown devices. If a new device is found, all configuration details
of the old ECG are automatically programmed onto the new one and the installation is immediately ready
again for operation.
However, the ECG quick exchange only works if just one ECG within a segment is faulty and replaced by a
new one. If several devices are faulty, the ECGs have to be identified and you must use the post installa-
tion function. Please also remember that the quick exchange is only possible for devices of the same type.
You cannot, for example, replace an ECG for self-contained battery emergency lamps with a device for
LEDs.
If a quick exchange is not possible because of any of the conditions above, the gateway terminates the pro-
cess with an error code. The different error codes have the following meaning:
Error type 7: No ECG fault
Error type 8: More than one ECG faulty
Error type 9: No new ECG can be found
Error type 10: ECG has wrong device type
Error type 11: More than one new ECG
11.6 Data Restore of DALI configuration
This command is used to completely restore a DALI-Gateway, for example, by replacing it with a com-
pletely unprogrammed device.
In this case all Dali relevant data from the ETS are written onto the device. Once this process is complete,
the device is restarted automatically. This function only applies to the DALI configuration. It is therefore es-
sential to carry out a normal ETS download for the ETS parameters and communication objects.
We recommend you do an ETS back-up after you have completed the configuration.

12 Scenes
Scenes can be programmed in the DCA.
12.1 Configuration
You can enter a user-friendly name for each scene in the description field. The name can be up to 20 char-
acters long. If you do not want a scene to start immediately but would prefer dimming it up to its final value,
you can set the dimming time individually for each scene.
Please remember that the dimming time always refers to the complete value range. A time of 30s therefore
means a value change of 100% within 30s. If the value within a scene only changes by 50%, the change
will only take 15s. To assign a flexible KNX scene to a DALI scene, the parameter KNX Scene is used.
Hereby a flexible assignment can be defined to activate this scene with another KNX scene (via KNX com-
munication object). The KNX scene numbers 1 to 64 are available.
Select the required scene from the drop down on the left-hand side.
A “tick“ means that the scene has already been defined.
Use drag and drop to pull the groups that are part of the scene into the scene window in the middle.

Value
A brightness level between 0 and 100% can be selected via a drop down field.
Colour
Shows the colour according to type of colour control for this group. Use the context menu or simply double-
click to open a window to select the colour.
Keep value
In this case the current value remains unchanged when the scene is invoked. The entry field for the value
is disabled. Any entry in the value field is ignored.
Keep colour
In this case the current colour remains unchanged when the scene is invoked. The entry field for the colour
is disabled. Any entry in the colour field is ignored.
To delete an entry, select a group and use drag and drop to move it back to the tree on the right-hand side.

Once all scene values have been set, you need to download the scene onto the DALI ECGs. For this pur-
pose, please press the download button in the top right-hand corner.
A connection to the DALI-Gateway is required.
In principle, you can also plan individual scenes in the ETS ‘offline‘, independently of the DALI system. The
DCA only has to be connected to the gateway for the duration of the programming.
12.4 Testing a scene event
One way to test the settings for an event is via the conext menu (right click with the mouse).
A connection to the DALI-Gateway is required.
The command setting the value and colour of the group is executed. This means you can check the correct
properties before programming the whole scene. If „Keep Value“ or „Keep colour“ have been selected, the
current values are kept and the new values are not activated.

12.6 Export/Import/Delete
In order to be able to reuse a scene that has already been created, it is possible to export it. The created
XML file can be saved separately to be used again in another project or in another template. The com-
mands for export or import can be found in the context menu.

13 Time Control
In order to use the colour setting options of DT-8 devices, DALI-Gateway offers an integrated colour control
module. With this module, users can automatically set a defined light colour for a certain time or date. This
function is particularly interesting for white light control. Changes in colour temperature over the course of a
day have a positive effect on well-being and efficiency in the work place. Educational institutions, hospitals
and many other settings use daytime dependent white light control. However, the colour control module
can also be used for general time-based colour changes. For example, a building could be lit up in red for
the first half of the night and in blue for the second half.
13.1 Configuration
To create a sequence of different colour settings, up to 16 different templates can be created. A template
combines different actions which perform a value or colour control event at a configurable time. Select the
required template via the drop down template list.
Use the drop down on the left hand side to select a template.
A “tick“ means that the template has already been defined.
Use the description field to enter a user friendly name for the template. The name can be up to 20 charac-
ters long and is displayed in brackets in the dropdown list for information purposes.

You can also define the behaviour of the template:
The template can be defined but disabled. By default all templates are enabled.
It is also possible to enable or disable the template via a communication object. If you choose the option
“control template via object“ the corresponding objects are displayed. See chapter: 8.2 Objects for the time
control module.
For more information, see chapter: 13.3 Disabling/Enabling.
Use the tree on the right hand side to tick the DALI groups that you want to include in the template.
The middle part of the page is used to create an action list. All groups that have been selected, automati-
cally perform an action at the configured time. Altogether a maximum of 300 actions can be stored on a
DALI gateway if all templates are used. A context menu is available to control and create action lists.
To open the context menu, move the mouse pointer onto an action and press the right mouse button.
The following functions are available to create and edit an action list:

Test action of the group
Immediately executes the chosen action (without regard for any potentially configured transition time) for a
certain group within a template. You can also select the group via the context menu. A connection to the

13.2 Action types
Once you have created an action, the corresponding function can be set via the selection box. For each
function, you can select a value, the time of the action and (if you would like the value to slowly cross-fade)
a transition time. If you do not want the action to be performed every day, please enter the days of the
week when you want to schedule the action. Please remember that only certain value ranges make sense
for each function. In principle any value can be entered in the value field. However, if this value exceeds
the possible value range, it is automatically limited to the maximum value. (For example, if you enter 200
for the function “Set value”, the maximum value 100% is automatically entered.) The following functions are
possible for an action:

Action types
86 / 94
Public
Set value
This function sets the brightness level of a group. The permitted value range is between 0 and 100%.
Min Value
This function sets the minimum dim value of the selected group for relative (4 Bit) and absolute (8 Bit) dim-
ming. When using this action, any minimum dim value set in the ETS parameters is automatically overwrit-
ten. The permitted value range is between 0 and 100%.
MaxValue
This function sets the maximum dim value of the selected group for relative (4 Bit) and absolute (8 Bit) dim-
ming. When using this action, any maximum dim value set in the ETS parameters is automatically overwrit-
ten. The permitted value range is between 0 and 100%.
Colour temperature
This function sets the colour temperature of DT-8 devices that support the colour temperature setting (TC).
On the ECG the colour is also changed if the light is turned off at the time of the action.
You can enter the colour temperature range. The value range permitted is between 1000 and 10000 K but
please remember the physical limits of the connected ECGs and lights.
Colour XY
This function sets the colour temperature of DT-8 devices that support the XY colour space display (XY).
On the ECG the colour is also changed if the light is turned off at the time of the action. The X and Y coor-
dinates of the colour can be entered separately. The permitted value range for X and Y is from 0.0 to 1.0.
Please remember the physical limits of the connected ECGs/lights. Not every colour from the colour spec-
trum can be set.

Colour RGBW
This function sets the colour values of DT-8 devices that support the primary colours RGB or RGBW.
On the ECG the colour is also changed if the light is turned off at the time of the action.
The values for each primary colour can be entered separately. The permitted value range for R,G,B and W
is between 0 and 100%. The final colour is a mixture of the different primary colours according to their per-
centage.
Colour RGB
This function sets the colour values of DT-8 devices that support the primary colours RGB.
On the ECG the colour is also changed if the light is turned off at the time of the action. The values for each
primary colour can be entered separately. The permitted value range for R,G and B is between 0 and
100%. The final colour is a mixture of the different primary colours according to their percentage.
Colour HSV
This function sets the colour values of DT-8 devices that support the primary colours RGB.
In this case, however, the value is entered by means of saturation, hue and brightness levels.
On the ECG the colour is also changed if the light is turned off at the time of the action.
The permitted value range for the hue is between 0 and 360°, the value range for saturation and brightness
is between 0 and 100%.
Max OnValue
This function sets the maximum switch-on value of the selected groups or ECGs. When this action is used,
any maximum switch-on value set in the ETS parameters is overwritten. The permissible value range is 0 -
100 %. This value is reset to the ETS setting after an ETS download.
In principle, every group or individual ECG can be added to a template independently of the device types
used in the group/ECG. Whilst the functions “Set Value“, “MinValue“ and “MaxValue“ work for all device
types, (including, for example, fluorescent lights DT-0 and LED modules DT-6), the colour control functions
„“Colour Temperature“, “Colour XY“, “Colour RGBW“, “Colour RGB“ and “Colour HSV“ can, of course, only
be executed by the connected DT-8 devices. Other device types will ignore these actions. This also applies
to the selected method. A DT-8 device with XY control, for example, will ignore an RGBW action and vice
versa.
If the DT-8 devices within a group or template use different methods but you want them all to perform a

colour change at the same time, you need to set up two actions with different functions for the same point
in time:
Once an action table within a template is complete, you need to save the template onto the DALI gateway.
Please press the download button to do so.
Please remember that time-dependent actions can only be performed if they have previously been saved
on the gateway. You can, however, test individual actions via the test button without saving them on the
gateway. This does not change the data on the device.
13.3 Disabling/Enabling
A template can be enabled or disabled in the header of the editor.
This makes it possible to fully prepare a template whilst disabling its execution. This way you can, for ex-
ample, create two templates: one for a building in normal mode and one for the holiday period. You can
now simply enable the required template without having to modify any of the actions. It is even easier to
control time-dependencies externally via external objects. If you select this setting for a template, you can
control it via the external objects 23ff.
The value on receipt of the object determines whether a template is disabled or enabled.
13.4 Manual Override
By default, actions are triggered immediately when the action time is reached regardless of any previously
executed commands (automatic mode).
However, if the "Manual override" flag is set in a time program, the automatic mode can be stopped by a
manual intervention for individual groups / ECGs of the template. Automatic mode is thus manually overrid-
den.
This function is particularly interesting for HCL control applications. If the brightness or color of an element
SpaceLogic KNX DALI Gateway Basic

Timer
89 / 94
Public
(group / individual ECG) is changed, automatic operation for this element stops. No automatic color adjust-
ment will then be performed at the next action time. The change made by the user will remain until the au-
tomatic mode is activated again.
The activation of the automatic mode according to the template takes place at the reception of the next 1
bit Off or On telegram belonging to the element, or at the switching off of the element by another command
(e.g. scene value = 0 or broadcast = 0). When an on telegram is received, the last color value regularly de-
sired by an action is set. When an off telegram is received, the group /individual ECG is switched off and
the automatic system continues to run in the background. Furthermore, a manual override is always re-
solved at midnight and automatic mode is automatically reactivated.
13.5 Timer
To ensure the safe operation of the colour control mode the exact time and date are required on the device.
This has to be provided by the KNX in form of 3 Byte communication objects. The precision of the DALI
gateway’s internal time calculation is limited. It is therefore essential to update the time at least once a day.
When the application is started the device automatically sends a read request for time and date to the KNX
bus. The colour control module remains completely disabled until an updated time has been received. Ac-
tions are only performed after receipt of a valid time. Please remember that the 3 Byte time object also
transmits information about the current weekday (Monday – Sunday). (For some KNX timers this is configu-
rable). If a 3 Byte object is received without this information, the weekday is not checked. This means that
an action which has, in fact, only been enabled for Saturday and Sunday would also be performed on a
Monday.

As the date is not calculated internally, the DALI gateway automatically sends a read request to the date
object at 00:01 and at 00:04. At the same time, the time object is also automatically queried. A further read
request is sent at 3:01. This avoids any potential errors when clocks change from summer to winter time
and vice versa.

To reuse a previously created template it is possible to export the template. The resulting xml file can be
