General General ® This manual provides detailed technical information concerning the ABB i-bus KNX DALI Gateway Basic. These are DALI gateways which have identical functions but a different number of DALI outputs. They can be used to control a variety of DALI lamps individually or in groups on a DALI output via KNX. Lots of small groups in individual offices as well as large lights for area lighting can be combined in a gateway as required.

Page 10: Emergency Lighting Tests
® ABB i-bus General 1.2.1 Emergency lighting tests The DG/S x.64.1.1 acts as a gateway between self-contained emergency lighting systems and a KNX building automation system. This allows DALI-based emergency lighting to IEC 62386-202 to be controlled and monitored with a KNX control panel.
Page 11 ® ABB i-bus General Inhibit/rest mode Rest mode is a state in which the emergency light is switched off during its emergency lighting operation. Inhibit mode is a timed emergency lighting converter state in which the emergency light does not switch to emergency operation in the event of a mains voltage failure.

Page 19: Mounting And Installation
® ABB i-bus Device technology Mounting and installation The gateways are modular installation devices for installation in the distribution board on 35 mm mounting rails to EN 60715. They can be installed in any mounting position. Electrical connection is via screw terminals. Connection to the KNX is via the supplied KNX connection terminal.
Page 20 ® ABB i-bus Device technology Manual operation The gateways have a manual operation option to switch DALI lamps on and off at the outputs. However this excludes DALI single battery lamps, which cannot be manually operated. Supplied state The device is supplied with the physical address 15.15.255. The application program is preloaded.
Page 21: Description Of Inputs And Outputs
The initialization phase will terminate if more than 64 DALI devices are connected and the information ® will be displayed by group objects on the KNX or in the ABB i-bus Tool. The initialization phase starts automatically after download, gateway supply voltage recovery and KNX bus voltage recovery.
Page 22: Manual Operation
® ABB i-bus Device technology Manual operation The device has one/two push buttons for manual switching of the DALI outputs. For manual operation to work properly, the KNX and the gateway must be supplied with power. Manual operation is mainly used to check that the wiring of the DALI line is correct and to detect faulty DALI devices which are not responding to broadcast commands.

Page 108 ® ABB i-bus Commissioning When Forced operation ends, the brightness value updated in the background is set. The ballast or group returns to the state it was in before forced operation. If an additional function was active, e.g. Staircase lighting or Slave, it will also be active after Forced operation. If the Staircase lighting function was activated before Forced operation, it goes into standby when Forced operation/Block is removed.

The operating state of the slave after a download or KNX bus voltage recovery can be parametrized.
Page 115 ® ABB i-bus Commissioning Note If the gateway receives a central switch, relative dimming or Brightness value telegram via a group object for the DALI output while Slave mode is running, the telegram is executed. The slave goes to standby. To respond to the master again the group has to receive an ON telegram via the Switch group object or be reactivated by the Activate fct Slave group object.

Page 154 ® ABB i-bus Commissioning Danger In both cases, the emergency light no longer fulfils its safety function and remains off. For this reason, use this function with great care. It can be helpful to use Inhibit/rest mode during the construction phase when the power supply is often switched off, to prevent the emergency lighting battery from constantly charging/discharging and thus conserve the emergency light.

Page 161 ® ABB i-bus Commissioning Emergency lighting converter reacts on object "Inhibit/rest mode" Options: • Yes: The Activate emergency lighting Inhibit/rest mode group object is evaluated so that the emergency lighting converter receives the rest/inhibit command via the gateway. This means it is possible to deactivate the emergency lighting function so as to conserve the battery charge e.g.
Page 162 ® ABB i-bus Commissioning Automatic emergency lighting test Note The automatic emergency lighting test (test sequence) is an optional function of the DALI standard for emergency lighting converters to EN 62386-202.

Page 172 ® ABB i-bus Commissioning Note Even if the scene values are not overwritten after a download, the scene members have to be selected in order to tell the gateway which ballasts or groups are members of the scene. Note When a download occurs, the parametrized scene values are usually transferred to the gateway. Note that if no change has been made in the ETS application, ETS does not transfer these values again when a partial ETS download occurs.

Page 216: Lamp And Ballast Monitoring
® ABB i-bus Planning and application Lamp and ballast monitoring The gateway can broadcast the fault state of the output's DALI lighting on the KNX. A control panel or control center can evaluate and display this information. Required repair measures or corresponding maintenance cycles can be initiated.
Page 217: Exchange Of Dali Devices
® ABB i-bus Planning and application Exchange of DALI devices If a DALI device fails in an existing DALI installation where DALI addresses are assigned without any gaps, a DALI device in the as-delivered state with factory settings (without DALI addressing) can be used as a replacement, avoiding the need for re-commissioning.

® ABB i-bus Planning and application Function circuit diagrams and priorities The function tables show the effect of various KNX commands when a function is parametrized. The following should be noted here. Note Priorities in the gateway from highest to lowest: 1.

Page 221: Dali Dimming Curve
® ABB i-bus Planning and application DALI dimming curve 4.5.1 DALI (logarithmic) curve The DALI dimming curve does not apply for emergency lighting converters, so the curve transformation function is not used on them. The DALI dimming curve is adjusted to the sensitivity of the human eye. This results in a logarithmic characteristic curve for the luminous flux which is perceived by the human eye as a linear brightness sequence.
Page 222 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application This produces the following DALI characteristic: KNX value 85 126 144 170 195 210 220 229 235 241 246 250 255 A´ KNX value [%] 98 100 DALI value (lamp power) 85 126 144 170 195 210 220 229 235 241 246 250 254...
Page 223: Knx (Linear) Curve
® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.5.2 KNX (linear) curve Selecting the KNX (linear) curve in the gateway maps the brightness value received by the KNX directly to the lamp power (Y value). There is no linear transformation. The KNX brightness value received by the gateway is mapped directly to the lamp power. The logarithmic dimming curve calculates the DALI value, so that for the KNX there is linear mapping between the KNX value and the lamp power.

Page 225: Time Sequences In The Gateway
® ABB i-bus Planning and application Time sequences in the gateway 4.6.1 DALI fade times The fade time has 16 settings (0 to 15). Fade time is specified as the time required to change the lamp power from the current brightness value to the required target brightness. If a lamp is switched off, the preheat and ignition time are excluded from the fade time.
Page 226: Timed Progression Of The Staircase Lighting Function
® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.6.2 Timed progression of the staircase lighting function The DALI gateways feature the additional function Staircase lighting. This can be independently parametrized for each ballast and group. As the function is identical for groups and ballasts, only the group function is described below.
Page 227 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application Reaction to Switch telegram when staircase lighting is running If the dimming time is yet to start and the gateway receives an OFF telegram for the group, dimming down starts immediately. If the group is currently dimming down, dimming down continues if an OFF telegram is received.
