Advantages, disadvantages
DALI config Advantage Disadvantage
Web-server • With WiFi – move around with laptop, smart • Ethernet connection (or cross-link
(DALI-config prior to ETS phone or tablet cable) required, optionally a WiFi-
config) • Synchronisation of the real DALI installation with router
the ETS plug-in -> easier ETS configuration (not
needed parameters and objects are hidden)
ETS • All configuration can be done ”offline” prior to the • No synchronisation with the ETS
(ETS-config prior to commissioning of the installation (exception: plug-in -> parameters and objects
DALI-config) configuration of colour control (DALI DT-8) in for all ECGs are visible
scenes)
• No need for Ethernet connection
Device Display • No PC required • Only for group control, not individual
(Installer option) • The installer can directly after installation address control of ECGs
all ECGs (and thereby check that all ECGs are
online) and also put them into correct groups.
• This option can also be used just to verify the
installation. The programmer can later redo the
DALI-config.

DALI
DALI and KNX
> DALI is a master / slave system Max. ECG 64
> The KNX DALI-gateway is master and controls alone the communication ECG 3
on the DALI-side
ECG 2
> ECGs are slaves
> The KNX DALI-gateway is a Category I controller ECG 1
(according to standard IEC 62386-103)
-> single master, i.e. do not connect additional masters to the system DALI line
> Data transmission
> 1200 bit/s, bi-phase coding for error detection
> Master -> Slave communication (forward frame)
> 1 start bit, 16 data bits, 2 stop bits, (approx 25 ms)
> Bit transmission by interrupting the power supply
> Slave –> Master communication (backward frame)
> 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits (approx 18 ms)
> Bit transmission by short-circuiting the DALI line

DALI Master
Scene: __
> Next step in the commissioning is to manually find out which Long address
ECG has which address (done by switching the lamps). 32 BC 7F -> 1
> Two different commissioning processes exists

> New Installation – to be used by first commissioning
> Post installation – to be used when an already commissioned DALI Long address

The plug-in can work in two different modes
> Normal mode (default after installation)
> This mode is to be used when DALI-configuration
is done via web-server (or device display)

Import-/Export of parameter settings
> Create templates of complex parameter
settings by exporting
> All parameters or only parts (ECG, Group)
can be exported and then imported into a new device or Right-click on
other ECGs or Groups DALI, a group or
a ECG
ETS application – normal and extended mode

Backup-/Restore of DALI configuration in the gateway
> It is possible to make a backup of the DALI-configuration,
scenes, effects and colour templates which are stored in
the gateway, to the PC in XML-format
Advantage – if the gateway has to be replaced the
configuration doesn’t have to be redone, but can be
restored from the backup file.
> During backup all configurations in the web server will be
reloaded in the plug-in.
> Configurations done in the plug-in which has not been
downloaded will therefore be overwritten
> If the user has made changes to scenes, effects or colour
templates in the web server, this is also the way to update the
plug-in (in extended mode) with actual data
NOTE1: It is not a backup of the DALI installation.

If a “New installation” or change of grouping is done by mistake,
restoring the backup will not restore information which are stored
in the ECGs (e.g. short addresses, group or scene belongings).

Step 1: Write description of the ECGs (optional)
The description texts will

automatically be inserted
in the “Description”
column of the concerned
group objects
The Type and

corresponding icon is
defined by the parameter
“ECG Type” (see slide
Step 2: Assigning ECGs to groups
To move several ECG’s,

keep “Ctrl” pressed while
selecting and also
during the drag&drop
Un-assign ECGs by
drag&drop them on “Not
assigned” in the tree
Group no. = 0 means not
assigned to any group,
i.e. individually controlled

Step 3: Give the groups user-friendly names
Name the group either by

entering the name in the
group description column
for one ECG in the group
(it’ll be copied to the
others automatically)
or
double click on the group
in the tree.
The description texts will

automatically be inserted
in the “Description”
column of the concerned
group objects

Step 4: Adjusting parameters and linking of GA
Group address assignments are done in the normal ETS environment (not in the plug-in)

Step 5: KNX-commisioning on site

Step 6: DALI-commissioning on-site

Step 7: Identifying the ECGs
Right-click to bring up the

context menus.
Recommendation:
- Broadcast Off
- Enable automatic blinking
- Click the first ECG in the “Not
identified ECGs” list, the lamp starts
blinking
- Visually identify the lamp
- Drag the ECG to the right position
in the table (see next slide)
- The lamp stops blinking and the
next one starts
Step 8: Linking real ECGs to planned ECGs
To unlink a wrongly
linked ECG, first drag it
back to the not identified
list and then drag it to the
right place.
The original row in the
configuration table is now
empty and indicated by
the flag PLAN(E), E for
empty, and the correct
ECG can now be linked.

Step 9: Download the DALI-config into the gateway
After DALI download ->

Flag = OK

Additional info: Indication of ECG and lamp faults
By pressing the “sync”-button,

the plug in is updated with
actual ECG and lamp status
RED = ECG failure
ORANGE = lamp failure
Always do a sync before post
installation to check that all
configured ECGs are online.
Addresses for ECGs which are
not online by post installation
will be set free and given to
new ECGs.

Additional info: Using dummy ECGs (only special cases)
Use dummies if not yet

existing ECGs shall
generate error messages,
e.g. in a visualisation.
“Download DALI” has to be
performed.

Additional info: Hide non-existing ECGs in the parameter tree
With option “Hide ECGs

without description” only
ECGs which have been
given a description is visible
in the parameter tree

Additional info: Using IP for plug-in communication
When the checkbox is ticked,

the plug-in uses IP instead
of the KNX bus for communication
with the gateway, which is faster.
Current IP address can be read
through the KNX bus by pressing
the “Read IP address” button.

still has its name previously given.
Only use this function directly after new/post

installation to avoid mismatch with ETS.
ETS application – normal mode

Plug-in synchronisation
> Synchronisation = adaptation to the available ECGs and group
assignments in the project
> ECGs that are not present in the gateway
will be hidden in the plug-in
> ECGs which are assigned to a group will get their individual control
objects hidden
> Synchronisation via KNX or IP network
> The IP address can be read via the ETS bus connection by
clicking “Read IP address”.

Plug-in synchronisation / ECG type
> The ECG type is detected by the
gateway when the DALI devices are commissioned. These
device types are defined in the standard:
> Type 0 Fluorescent Lamp [only cosmetic/informative]
> Type 1 Self Contained Battery Lamp [additional parameters]
> Type 2 Discharge Lamp [only cosmetic/informative]
> Type 3 Low Voltage Halogen Lamp [only cosmetic/informative]
> Type 4 Incandescent Lamp [only cosmetic/informative]
> Type 5 0..10V Converter [only cosmetic/informative]
> Type 6 LED Module [linear dimming curve]
> Type 7 Relay Module [only cosmetic/informative]
> Type 8 ECG with colour control (DT8) [only cosmetic/informative]
> If another ECG type is selected in the
plug-in than is read from the device, a question will come
asking if the ECG type parameter should be changed.
> Only Type 1 and 6 has a functional difference compared to
the other types

Plug-in synchronisation / load description
> The descriptions (names) for the ECGs and the groups which
have been entered in the Web server can be loaded into ETS
via the menu Tools -> Load description
> A synchronization will also be done by load description and
non-existing ECG’s will be hidden in the plug-in
> The descriptions will also automatically be inserted in the
“Description” column of the group objects for easier group
address assignment

> If an individual ECG or a complete group
should always be (permanent) switched ON
> All three control objects (switching, dimming
and set value) will be hidden.
> As soon as the gateway is programmed or started up the ECG
or group is set to a parameterized value
> Note: If the devices in this mode should not be running at the
preset value (because of configuration operations or the ECG
was without power when the gateway was started up), the light
level will be automatically corrected after 60s.
> Advantages
> Light level is selectable in ETS
> Permanent mode devices can also be part in higher priority
functions, e.g. panic mode and burn-in function

ETS application
Fault recognition in general
> The DALI technology includes the individual recognition of lamp
failure or ECG failure (ECG failure overrides lamp failure)
> How does it work?
> The gateway inquire all connected ECGs periodically for ECG, lamp and
converter (in case of self-contained battery lamps) failures.
> The time between each inquire can be configured in ETS, default is 1 s
> As each ECG is inquired twice the complete inquire process takes 128 s
by 64 connected devices and the default time setting of 1 s.
> How are failures reported?
> Via a number of group objects
> Via the device display
> The status of all ECGs and failure statistics are also available in the web
server of the device

module not all colours in the xy colour space can be set
> See documentation from the manufacturer on limitations
> If coordinates outside of the supported range is used, it can lead to unexpected colours (doesn’t fit the colour
space diagram) and the same coordinates can give different results if repeated (depending on previous colour)

> Note feature 2: if a colour command is sent to an ECG which doesn’t support the colour type or even is not a DT-8
ECG, the ECG will just ignore the command. Therefore non DT-8 ECG’s can be part of a template with colour and
brightness commands, but will only react to the brightness commands.
Types of actions – brightness setting
> Set value
> Sets the assigned groups/ECGs to the defined brightness level
(0 – 100%)
> Fade time 0 – 200 s (in steps of 10 s)
> Min value
> Sets the minimum brightness that can be archived with relative
> If the current brightness < new min value, the brightness is
adjusted to the new min, ALSO if the light is 0% / off
> Max value Note: These commands works for all device types,
> Sets the maximum brightness that can be archived with relative i.e. not only DT-8
> If the current brightness > new max value, the brightness is
adjusted to the new max
> Switch-ON 1 bit is not limited

Enable/Disable templates
> Disable template
> The actions will not be executed
> Enable template
> The actions will be executed according to specified
times and weekdays
> Template controlled by effect object
> The template is enabled/disabled via the effect object
(object 7, 1 byte value).
> When enabled the actions will be executed according to
specified times and weekdays. When disabled the
actions will not be executed.
> Values to the Effect object for enable and disable
> ..... ..... ..... > Typical use for control via effect object
> When a template is controlled by the effect object the > One template for each season (spring, summer autumn
corresponding effect is disabled, e.g. if template 1 is and winter)
controlled by the effect object, then Effect 1 is disabled, > Templates are enabled/disabled by year time switch
even if configured
Time (weekday, hour, minute) must be received from the bus
> Prerequisite to use the templates is that time is
available on the bus Click this button to check
the current time and date
> The internal clock has no backup and limited accuracy
of the device.
> Correct time must therefore be received at least once a day
(date is not used by the color control, only for logging emergency light test result)
The internal clock starts at
2012-01-01 00:00:00.
Time/Date can not be
checked from the plug-in.
> When the device starts up it automatically sends read requests for time and date
(also at 00:01, 00:04 and 03:01)
> As long as no time has been received the whole color control module is disabled
> The 3 byte time telegram (DPT 10.001) normally contains day of the week.
However if the time sender doesn’t include the current weekday, the gateway will
not check weekdays of the templates, but then execute actions every day.
> Devices which can provide time and date
> Year time switch (MTN6606-0008)
> KNX time sender (MTN677290)
> U.motion servers
> homeLYnk/spaceLYnk

Set colour in Scenes from plug-in
> On the Scenes tab scenes can be configured
> Groups or individual ECG’s can be assigned/
unassigned to a scene by drag&drop from the right-
hand side list
> The brightness level is selected from the dropdown
list
> The colour is set with the right-click context menu
“Set value and Colour”. This command only works if
right-clicking on a DT-8 ECG or a group:
> Select the colour type and enter the value in the
pop-up
> Note1: The function needs an online connection
to the DALI-gateway
> Note2: The value is stored in the ECGs only, i.e.
the colour value is not displayed when the
“change colour” pop-up is opened the next time.
> When the scene is recalled the colour will be set
immediately without fading time

DALI-gateway
Colour control is a tool which require knowhow in lighting
> The DALI-gateway with colour control is a tool to set and
adjust colours, but which colours or colour curves?
> This specific knowhow is the task for the lighting architects
> A big benefit with the web-server and easy user interface is
that lighting architects can make their settings without
technical knowhow (like ETS)
> With the user access level it is possible for the lighting
architect or end-user to setup color control templates and
scenes without the risk of changing the DALI addressing and
grouping (only possible with the admin access level)
> Check out the application note “AN037 Tuneable white” on
Schneider home page for more information about tuneable

Emergency lighting
General
> Emergency lighting is intended to save life and is considered as safety equipment
> Two types of emergency lighting concepts exist
> Centralised: centralised power supply, normal lamps
> Decentralised: self-contained battery emergency lamps
> The legal regulations and norms vary in different countries.
Requirements concerns for example
> Performance and installation
> Equipment
> Tests and reports
> Make sure that all country specific requirements are fulfilled

> Selectable light value in test mode
> Selectable duration of test mode
> The test mode is activated via a

Emergency lighting
Advantages of central battery test conditions
> Test is not influencing “normal ballasts”
> Test can be triggered automatically
> Exactly defined test conditions
> ECGs are marked as emergency ballast
in the General Failure Object
Alternative setup KNX + DALI also battery powered

> Binary input activates Emergency / Panic Mode
> Test procedure identically without influencing “normal ballasts”
Emergency lighting
with self contained battery ballast
Alternative Emergency Concept Self Contained Battery Ballast
> Decentralised system increases security
> Distributed batteries locally in the lamps
> Self-contained Battery Emergency Light “Device Type 1” in IEC 62386-202
Two types available:
> Non-switchable device (converter), a second normal ECG is also required
> Switchable device, converter and ECG as one device
> Currently available: Tridonic converter only

Emergency lighting
Non-switchable converter
> Most common type
> The emergency lamp requires two DALI devices
> Converter
> Charge and monitor status of battery
> Perform self tests
> Powers the lamp in case of emergency
> Normal ECG
> Switching and dimming
> By testing the normal ECG is disconnected
by the converter
Luminary with non-switchable converter

Emergency lighting
> Problem: Permanently powered devices No testing in normal operation possible
> Solution: “Switch-off normal ballast”

Emergency lighting
> Device type 1 automatically detected
> “Switchable / non-switchable device” automatically detected and
indicated in the web server by different icons (also in ETS)
> ECG for self-contained battery emergency lamp, none switchable
> ECG for self-contained battery emergency lamp, switchable
> Non-switchable device
> Identification of “non-switchable device“ via LED only
> No switching function No switching objects or parameters
> No switching function No group assignment possible
> Separated objects for converter failure
> Detailed failure analysis and alarming possible
Emergency lighting
Non-switchable
> Link between Emergency and
“Normal ballast“ required Pairing of ballast
> Pairing has to be done manually
> Pairing needed for correct statistic and
failure data and prevents
> Double counting of lamp failure
> That ECG failure is reported during testing
