The field information to configure DALI ECG devices is as explained below:

Channel Info

Name

This field allows to modify the DALI Channel name.

Description

This field allows to give description on channel device.

Location

This field displays the physical location of the device.

Applications

This section displays the lighting applications supported by the DALI-2 Gateway. Up to four lighting applications can be defined and then used throughout the configuration of the DALI-2 Gateway.

Control Mapping

Device Used

This field lets you know whether the device is physically available or not.

By default, the check box is checked.

Address Mapping

Address Mapping allows a C-Bus group address to directly control a DALI device.

It is a one to one mapping of a C-Bus group address to a DALI device.

NOTE: Only controllable DALI devices support Address Mapping.

This section allows to assign maximum of 16 DALI group membership.

NOTE: If the check box is selected, then the group is used for the device.

Brightness Group

C-Bus group address is mapped to control the Address Mapping.

IMPORTANT: The groups assigned in Line A, Line B, and DALI devices on each line has to be unique.

CCT/Hue Group

C-Bus group address is used to control the CCT/Hue of a DALI DT8 device.

  • If a Saturation Group is not set, this CCT/Hue Group controls the CCT (correlated colour temperature).

    Used in conjunction with the Brightness Group for on, off, and dimming control plus setting the white colour temperature (tuneable white).

  • If a Saturation Group is set, this CCT/Hue Group controls the Hue of a DALI DT8 device.

NOTE:
  • The CCT/Hue Group uses the Application Index defined in the Brightness Group.

  • The CCT/Hue Group is applicable to all controllable DALI devices (excluding Emergency Types C and D), yet functional for DALI DT8 only.

Saturation Group

C-Bus Group Address is used to control the Saturation of a DALI DT8 device.

  • If a CCT/Hue Group is set, this CCT/Hue Group controls the Hue (colour) of a DALI DT8 device.

    The Saturation Group controls the Saturation (intensity) of a DALI DT8 device.

  • Used with both the Brightness Group and the CCT/Hue Group for on, off, and dimming control plus setting the RGB colour and its intensity.

NOTE:
  • The Saturation Group uses the Application Index defined in the Brightness Group.

  • The CCT/Hue Group is applicable to all controllable DALI devices (excluding Emergency Types C and D), yet functional for DALI DT8 only.

Disable DALI to C-Bus Mapping

Check the checkbox to disable the DALI to C-Bus mapping

Application Index

This field is a combo box to select the application to be used for the group.

The index is visible only when the application is been assigned in the application section.

Warn Before Off Time

This field displays the amount of time after the group address is turned off (1–15 minutes).

Advanced

Min Max Logic

This field gives the ability to pair 2 C-Bus group address to the same logical output and perform minimum and maximum logic.

Logic group Assignment

This field allows you to pair additional groups to the output.

Virtual Groups

This section refers to a category for virtual groups, which is an extension of DALI groups and allows to create a maximum of 16 Virtual groups.

Emergency Minimum Level

This field displays the minimum level the DALI emergency and exit ECGs will reach. This field is for DALI emergency and exit ECGs only.

Scenes

NOTE: The user must have configured the scene configuration in the DALI Gateway lines.

This is the category section for scenes, where a user is allowed to assign maximum 16 DALI scenes to each controllable devices.

By assigning the scene, the user can set the level they want the scene to go to based on min and max level of the device.

Minimum Level – minimum level the device has been set to.

Maximum Level – maximum level the device has been set to.
