1 Product definition
1.1 Product catalogue
Product name: DALI Gateway
Use: Gateway
Design: REG (rail-mounted device)
Order no.: 6 4540 020
1.2 Function
The DALI Gateway represents the interface between a KNX/EIB installation and a digital DALI
(Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) lighting system. The DALI Gateway allows the switching and
dimming of a maximum of 64 lamps including DALI device (e.g. electronic ballast). Each DALI lamp can
be assigned up to 32 different lighting groups that are controlled via the KNX/EIB. This permits the
integration of a room-specific light control of, for example, open-plan offices, multi-purpose rooms,
assembly shops and training classrooms and lecture rooms into the higher-level KNX/EIB building
management. In addition, the lighting groups can be integrated into up to 16 scenes that makes it
possible to recall pre-programmed light moods or to save new light scenarios.
The DALI Gateway permits the separate feedback of individual switching and brightness states of the
DALI groups to the KNX/EIB. In addition, the general DALI operating status can be reported to the
KNX/EIB (error status, short-circuit, status of supply voltage).
The controls (4 pushbuttons) on the front panel of the device permit to manually dim or switch the DALI
light groups on and off in parallel with the KNX / EIB even without bus voltage or in a unprogrammed
state (broadcast of all connected DALI lamps). This feature permits to quickly test the operability of
connected consumers.
The DALI Gateway is able to check the devices integrated into the DALI system for integrity. The
replacement of a defect electronic ballast device by a new one, for example, can be detected if the
“Automatic device replacement” has been activated. The decoding of the parameterized data into the
new electronic ballast device is carried out fully automatic by the Gateway without any special
commissioning. That makes the corrective maintenance of a DALI system much easier.
The configuration and commissioning of the DALI Gateway takes place via a plug-in that is integrated
into the ETS 3. For project design and commissioning of this device it is recommended to use the
ETS3.0d. The advantages with regard to downloading (shorter loading times) are available only if this
new ETS patch version or later versions are used. Other tools besides hardware and software are not
required for the commissioning of the device.

Fitting, electrical connection and operation
The functionalities that can be preset with the ETS independently for each lighting group include, for
instance, separately parameterizable brightness ranges, extended feedback functions, disable function
or, alternatively, a forced-control position function, separately adjustable dimming response, time delay
and Staircase timer function with pre-warning and soft dimming functions.
Moreover, each lighting group can be integrated into up to 16 scenes with different brightness values.
Centralized switching of all groups is also possible. In addition, the brightness values of the groups can
be set separately in case of bus voltage failure or bus voltage return and after programming with the
ETS.
The Power for the DALI Gateway is entirely supplied by the separate mains connection. The mains
voltage has to be switched on for controlling the DALI interface or programming with the ETS. The
device is designed for fitting on mounting rails in closed compact boxes or in power distributions in
fixed installations in dry rooms.
2 Fitting, electrical connection and operation
2.1 Safety instructions
Electrical equipment must be installed and fitted only by qualified electricians. Observe the
current accident prevention regulations.
Failure to observe any of the installation instructions may cause damage to the device and
result in fire and other hazards.
Before working on the device or before replacing the connected DALI devices, disconnect the
supply voltage (by cutting out the circuit breaker) to avoid the risk of an electric shock.
The DALI Gateway is not suited for safe disconnection of the mains supply.
DALI is a functional extra-low voltage (FELV) device. Safe separation between KNX/EIB and
DALI and mains voltage in installations must be ensured. A minimum spacing of 4 mm must be
ensured between bus wires and DALI/mains conductors.
Do not open the device and do not operate it outside the scope of the technical specifications.

• The DALI system voltage is a functional extra-low voltage (FELV). Thus, the DALI interface has to be
treated like a live line in compliance with the applicable installation prescriptions. The DALI Gateway
supplies the system voltage. The installation has to ensure that all
mains voltages of the connected
DALI devices as well as the mains voltage supply of the DALI Gateway will be switched off when
activating a DALI section.
• For a better overview in the installation it is recommended to pay attention to the polarity of the DALI
line. Basically, the compliance with the DALI polarity depends on the DALI devices that are used.
• DALI devices (max. of 64) can be connected to different phase conductors (L1, L2, L3).

2.5 Operation
The DALI Gateway permits all lighting groups to be operated manually. The keypad features 4 function
keys and 3 status LEDs on the front panel of the device that can be used to set the following modes of
operation...
– Bus mode: operation via touch sensors or other bus devices
– Temporary manual control: local manual control via keypad, automatic return to bus mode,
– Permanent manual control: local manual control via keypad
• The control modes can be enabled or disabled via parameter settings in the ETS.
• In manual control mode the groups cannot be controlled via the bus.
• Manual control is possible only while the actuator is supplied with power from the mains. The manual
control mode will be terminated in case of a bus voltage return or mains voltage failure. While in
broadcast mode (unprogrammed DALI Gateway), a bus voltage return cannot abort the manual
control.
• In bus mode, the manual control can be disabled via a telegram. An activated disable function will
terminate the manual control.
• Further details concerning the manual control, especially with respect to the available parameter
settings and the interaction with other functions of the Gateway, can be found in chapter 4. "Software
description" of this documentation.

DALI device replacement
After the start of the automatic device replacement, the DALI Gateway can check the DALI system for
the integrity of the DALI devices that have been previously put into operation. If, for instance, the
installer has replaced a defect DALI electronic ballast device with a new one, the DALI Gateway is able
to program the new electronic ballast device with the project data of the failed electronic ballast device.
Thus, it is possible to replace a failed DALI device by a simple operation on the device without having
to set parameters with the ETS.
The DALI Gateway has been programmed at least once via the ETS.
The automatic device replacement must be activated in the ETS.
Bus and mains voltage (on all DALI devices) must be switched on.
The DALI system must have already been put into operation via the ETS plug-in.
Only one
The device must be in bus mode (no active manual control)
Press the and ALL OFF keys simultaneously for at least 10 s.
The automatic device replacement will be activated. The time required for this operation depends on
the number of DALI devices available in the system. The 7-segment display indicates "
during the device replacement. If the replacement has been successful, the display will extinguish.
• All other functions of the DALI Gateway are paused during the device replacement. The Gateway
tracks all bus states received during the device replacement and regularly analysizes the values
tracked last (switching, dimming, brightness value, scenes, central function, forced-control position,
disable function) at the end of the automatic device replacement. The device replacement will
interrupt any active forced-control position or disable function which will be activated again at the end
of the replacement, if, in the meantime, the functions have not been deactivated via the bus. The
behaviour as at the beginning of these functions will not be executed again.
• Make sure that only one DALI device is being replaced in the way described. In case several
electronic ballast devices have failed (possibly not connected to mains voltage) and been replaced,
the electronic ballast devices cannot be positively identified and automatically be configured. In this
case, a new DALI commissioning via the ETS plug-in is required.
• If an error has occurred during the device replacement, the 7-segment display will indicate " "
(Error) for 3 s. The procedure has to be carried out again by following the requirements and details
as mentioned above.
This signalling will take place even if the automatic device replacement has been activated without a
prior DALI device replacement.
DALI device may have failed and may be replaced.

Scope of functions
4.2 "DALI Gateway C00Cx2" software
4.2.1 Scope of functions
General:
• Control of a maximum of 64 DALI devices in a max. of 32 groups.
• Manual control of the groups independent of the bus (site operation with broadcast control).
• Feedback of DALI error status or short-circuit and supply voltage failure message.
• Central switching function.
• Incorporation of the groups into up to 16 light-scenes possible.
Channel-oriented:
• Each group features the full scope of functions without any restrictions. All channel-oriented
functions can be parameterized separately for each group. This feature permits independent and
multi-functional control of the DALI devices. However, the Staircase timer function can only be
parameterized for groups 1 ... 16.
• Switching feedback and brightness value: active (after changes or cyclical transmission to the bus)
or passive (object read-out function) feedback function.
• Adjusting the limit values for brightness is possible.
• Dimming response can be parameterized.

4.2.2 Software information
ETS project design and commissioning
For creating a project and for the commissioning of this device it is recommended to use the ETS3.0d
version. Advantages with regards to downloading (significantly shorter loading times) can be expected
only if this ETS patch version or later versions are used. The advantages result from the use of the new
mask version 7.5 and the ETS3 support.
The product database required for the ETS3.0d is offered in the *.VD4 format. The corresponding
application program has the version number “1.1”. For older versions of the ETS3 a separate product
database is available in the *.VD2 format. The application program for these ETS versions is version
"0.1".
As far as the scope of functions described in this documentation is concerned, there is no difference
between the two application programs.
When older ETS versions are updated to the level of version ETS3.0d or to that of later versions, an
additional tool in the form of an ETS add-in is available. This tool is capable of converting older product
databases of application version "0.1", for instance from existing ETS2 projects, into the new
application format (version "1.1"). This feature permits making use of the advantages of the ETS3.0d
application in an easy way and without creating any changes to the project design. The ETS3 add-in
can be obtained separately from the manufacturer and is free of charge.
Safe-state mode
If the device - for instance as a result of errors in the project design or during commissioning - does not
work properly, the execution of the loaded application program can be paused by activating the safestate mode. In the safe-state mode, the outputs cannot be controlled via the bus. A manual control for
broadcast is the only feature that can be activated. The Gateway remains passive in safe-state mode
since the application program is not being executed (state-of-execution: terminated). Only the system
software is still functional so that the ETS diagnosis functions and also the programming of the device
continue to be possible.
Activating safe-state mode
Disconnect the mains voltage supply.
Press the programming key and keep it pressed.
Switch on the mains voltage supply. Release the programming key only after the programming LED
starts blinking slowly.
The safe-state mode is now activated. With another brief press on the programming key, the
programming mode can be switched on and off as usual also in the safe-state mode. The
programming LED will nonetheless continue to blink independent of the programming mode as long
as the safe-state mode remains active.
• The safe-state mode can be terminated by switching off the mains voltage supply or by programming
with the ETS.
• For the activation of the safe-state mode, the bus voltage does not have to be switched on.
Unloading the application program
The application program can be unloaded via the ETS. In this case, only manual control is possible for
the broadcast of connected DALI devices.

4.2.4.1 Application basics
DALI
The DALI Gateway represents the interface between a KNX/EIB building installation and a digital DALI
(Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) lighting system. Normally, all DALI systems are room-oriented
and deal with the high demands on functional light management in, for example, offices, training and
conference rooms. Often, these applications make it necessary to incorporate the room-oriented DALI
system also into the KNX/EIB facility management across buildings. That makes it possible not only to
control the DALI lighting system via the sensor components of the KNX/EIB but also to incorporate the
shutter, heating and air conditioning systems already existent in the buildings into the light
management.
A DALI system can address a maximum of 64 devices. The Gateway itself does not count as a device.
The DALI Gateway offers 32 KNX/EIB controllable groups that are parameterized in the ETS 3 similar
to a dimming actuator channel. There are several communication objects available at the bus that
permit, among other things, the switching, the dimming, the setting of brightness values or the time or
scene control of a group. During the DALI commissioning, the DALI devices (max. of 64) will be
optionally assigned one or several groups of the Gateway (cf. figure 5 on the following page). It is the
group assignment that makes it possible to control the DALI devices individually (individual assignment
– only one device in the group) or collectively (multiple assignment – several devices in a group) via the
KNX/EIB.
A multiple assignment of DALI devices is possible for the groups 1...16 of the DALI Gateway. In this
case the addressing takes place at the DALI via group addresses that the DALI Gateway configures
“hidden” to the user. The DALI Gateway handles them independently. During the DALI commissioning,
all affected devices will be automatically programmed.
The groups 17...32 accept only individual assignments. Each group can be assigned only one DALI
device. In this case, the DALI addressing takes place via an internally specified individual address.
Only one device can be uniquely addressed via this individual address. This individual address will also
be automatically assigned by the DALI Gateway during the DALI commissioning.
The DALI commissioning takes place entirely via the plug-in embedded in the ETS 3 via the KNX/EIB
bus line. No additional tool and no special programming link is required.
The commissioning of the DALI devices as well as the DALI configuration or the DALI addressing takes
place fully automatic via the plug-in and the DALI Gateway. Only the assignment between the DALI
device and the group must be carried out ‘manually’ in the commissioning environment of the plug-in.
Different test or detection functions (separate switching on, switching off or blink function) available in
the plug-in make it also considerably easier to commission the different DALI devices.

Figure 5: Example of a grouping in the DALI system
In the example of a grouping (cf. Figure 5) each one of the drawn-in lamps features a DALI device
which is assigned one or several groups. In the example, lamp 1 is part of an individual group. This
lamp can be controlled separately from the other lamps. The other lamps belong to group 2. Hence,
they are collectively controlled. In addition, the lamps 2, 3, 6 and 7 can be controlled via group 3. Thus,
groups 2 and 3 assigned to these lamps overlap.
• DALI devices that are assigned several groups will always adjust to the state that has been adjusted
last via one of the assigned groups. In this case, the feedback of the switching status or the
brightness value of a group is not always unique.
Example 1(cf. Figure 5): Group 2 is set to 10% brightness. Group 3 is then dimmed to a brightness
value of 20%. The lamps of group 3 will accept the brightness value of 20% which was invoked last.
The feedback of group 2 remains on 10% although some of the devices belonging to the group have
been set to 20% brightness.
Example 2: group 2 is switched on and assumes the brightness value of 100%. Internally, the state
of group 3 remains set at 0% brightness (OFF). The brightness of group 3 is now increased. The
lamps of group 3 will adapt to the dimming (increasing brightness starting at minimum brightness)
even though these lamps have already been switched on via group 2.
Basically, the assignment of DALI devices to groups is arbitrary. For the reasons mentioned above it
is recommended not to assign the devices to several groups at the DALI. Preferably, the devices
should be allocated to separate instead of overlapping groups. A KNX/EIB link via the group
addressing in the ETS is also preferred.

Functional description
The DALI Gateway acts as the central control component (master-controller) in the system that also
ensures the power supply of the DALI interface. The DALI devices, e.g. DALI electronic ballast,
function as slaves that transmit back the states or status reports to the master only upon request. It is
the function of the DALI Gateway only to transmit control commands received by the KNX/EIB to the
DALI line as well as to control the devices. Further DALI control components in multi-master mode, e.g.
an additional DALI center, a DALI potentiometer or power switching pushbuttons, are unnecessary and
can lead in some individual cases to malfunction in the DALI system. Therefore, it is necessary to
remove other control components from the system – especially when refitting existing DALI systems.
The DALI system is then entirely controlled by components of the KNX/EIB (cf. figure 6).

Functional description
The communication via the DALI Gateway between the KNX/EIB and the DALI interface is bidirectional. On the one hand, the Gateway receives telegrams from the KNX/EIB that either directly
influence the brightness status of a DALI group (e.g. by switching, dimming, setting the brightness
value or scene recall) or indirectly adjust it (e.g. via time, disable or forced-control position functions).
Thus, the DALI Gateway internally always detects the current brightness states of the groups and
forwards brightness commands to the DALI devices which will then adjust to the corresponding
brightness.
On the other hand, the internally tracked switching or brightness states of the groups can be reported
back to the KNX/EIB. The transmission of status information of the DALI devices (lamp error, electronic
ballast error) or the Gateway (mains voltage failure, DALI short-circuit) to the bus is possible.
In addition, all groups controllable by up to 32 KNX/EIBs can be integrated in 16 independent scenes.
In a scene, brightness values can be separately parameterized for each DALI group in the ETS. They
can also be adjusted any time later during the on-going operation.
• If the DALI devices have been assigned several groups (overlapping groups) and if these groups
have been assigned a common scene, the devices will adjust to the brightness value of the group
with the highest number.
Example: An electronic ballast device has been assigned groups 1 and 2. Both groups have been
assigned scene 1. When recalling a scene, group 1 is to adjust to a brightness of 10 % and group 2
to 20 %. If scene 1 is recalled the electronic ballast device is adjusted to 20 % brightness since
group 2 has the higher group number.
