Mode Control Group

This field allows to add an enable group (0–254)

Mode

This field configures the Error reporting mode of the DALI-2 Gateway into one of three modes:

• Triggered only: Errors are reported only when triggered by the assigned Trigger Group

• Always ON, most recent only: The most recent errors are reported automatically at a regular time interval (time set by the “Regular Report Interval” field)

• Always ON, most recent and most severe: The most recent and most severe (or latched) errors are reported automatically at a regular time interval (time set by the “Regular Report Interval” field)

Restore on Power Failure

If selected, this field restores the data on power failure

Regular Report Interval

This field is used to select the time interval period between the completion of a regular report and beginning of the next report in Always ON modes

Trigger Group

This field contains a Trigger Group to trigger an error reporting event for any of the three error modes. When a Trigger group is created, resend and acknowledge action selector are displayed

The Resend Action Selector is set to send all errors and Acknowledge Action selector is set to acknowledge all errors

Destination Network

This field contains the destination C-Bus network to which the DALI-2 gateway routes the error messages. This allows the error messages to be sent to a remote C-Bus network for central monitoring if it’s not the local network

Measurement

The DALI-2 Gateway monitors a range of properties such as DALI device lamp running time, line voltage and line current for each DALI line. This information can then be shared on C-Bus using the measurement application.

Device ID

This field displays the unit address of the device

Send Trigger Group

This field contains a trigger group to request the DALI-2 gateway to send its stored measurement data

Clear Trigger Group

This field contains a trigger group to clear the stored measurement data in the DALI- 2 gateway

Destination Network

This field contains the destination C-Bus network to which the DALI-2 gateway routes the measurement application messages

Each Device ID assigned has Send Trigger group associated with an Action selector as described in below table.
