DALI Device Grouping

DALI device grouping is performed to quickly configure and save DALI Group Membership for multiple DALI devices in the project or on the live DALI line with less effort and time.

Prerequisites: Make sure the network has already been created in a project and DALI-2 Gateway has been added to the Devices in Project (project database).

1. Select the Network.

2. Click DALI Devices.

3. In the Devices in Project  section, select the devices to be grouped.

4. Right-click and select DALI Group Membership.

   
   
   

   DALI Group Membership pop-up appears.

   
   NOTE: If the selected DALI device does not contain DALI Group Membership properties then the device appears disabled in the Selected Project Devices table.

5. Select the required DALI Group checkbox to configure DALI Group Membership for all the selected DALI devices and click OK.

   
   NOTE: Click to unselect all the selected DALI groups.

   DALI Group Membership configuration changes are saved to the selected project devices only.

6. In the Line Devices section, select the devices to be grouped. Follow the steps 4–5.

   

   Whenever you invoke DALI Group Membership for live devices, it will read the additional DALI information during the first scan, regardless of which DALI scan you completed.

   
   NOTE: Only if Read DALI Gateway scan is completed, C-Bus Mapping is displayed for each DALI Group in the DALI Group Membership table.
   
   

   For live DALI devices, when you click OK:

   • Configurations are saved only to selected live network devices if it is a unreconciled device.

   • Configurations are saved to the selected live network devices and project devices if it is a reconciled device.

   • DALI Group Membership changes are saved.

   The completed configuration activity can be seen in DEPLOYMENT QUEUE.

   

   An Error pop-up appears if you try to load the same device into the PROPERTY EDITOR while deployment is still in progress.
