1 Introduction

Today’s customer demands more flexibility and customization possibilities than “physical configurations” can offer. With new Philips configurable devices with built-in

controls or separate controllers you can configure the luminaire’s behavior. You can control output levels, or even pre-configure dynamic dimming on the client’s request; either directly in the factory or during installation on location. All you need is ONE intuitive tool that when plugged into a device can calibrate ALL the different functions required by any lighting solution.

Creating the perfect lighting solution has been made very easy with Philips MultiOne.

With MultiOne, you can configure all features that are supported by a Philips device. A feature typically belongs to one or two product groups (LED Indoor/Outdoor, HID or FLUO), but this does not mean that every device from a product group does support all features.

Philips MultiOne is supported by Windows XP + SP3, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1 operating systems. It works only in combination with the Philips LCN8600 MultiOne interface USB2DALI, with Philips LCN8650 MultiOne interface USB2ZigBee or with Philips LCN9600 MultiOne interface SimpleSet.

USB2DALI

Before using MultiOne with the USB2DALI interface make sure that all devices that need to be commissioned are connected to the mains and the DALI network. Finally the DALI network must be connected to one of the DALI connectors of the USB2DALI interface.

9.1 The main application window

If in the Application Mode Selector screen All is selected as application mode, the program will start as follows:

A more thorough explanation on how to communicate with devices can be found in chapters 12.2, 12.11, 12.13, 12.12 and 12.3 of this manual.

9.2 Managing the DALI network

The Network panel is used to manage the connected DALI network. A number of tasks can be performed in the Network, each of which is detailed below.

9.2.1 Identifying devices

Page 16

User Manual Philips MultiOne

When starting MultiOne, the DALI devices connected to the USB2DALI interface are not automatically identified. There are two methods for identifying the devices with corresponding buttons in the Network on the left-hand side of the application window: Scan network and

Commission.

Scan network

In order to communicate with a device, the device needs to have a short address. The Scan network button scans all devices for their short addresses. This procedure does not change any short address or other property of the connected devices, provided they already have a short address. Devices without a short address are being assigned a unique one. When two or more devices have the same short address, a warning is displayed.

Commissioning All devices are given a new unique short address, starting at 0. Be aware that existing short addresses are erased and new short addresses are re-assigned to all connected devices. This procedure ensures that all devices have a short address and that there are no duplicate short addresses.

After commissioning or scanning the network, the list of identified devices is shown in the Network.

9.2.2 Selecting devices for communication

After having commissioned or scanned the network, the Network shows all devices present in the DALI network. By clicking a device you will make that particular device the active one, meaning that all commands will be sent to this device only, and will be ignored by all other devices. Besides selecting a single device for communication, it is also possible to communicate with groups of devices. The options are:

 All devices in the network. Select All devices. All

commands will now be sent as broadcast commands. Note that unidentified but connected DALI devices will also respond to commands.

 All user-defined groups. Select User-defined

groups. All commands will now be sent to devices

that belong to a user-defined group. User defined groups are explained in the section 9.2.3.

Page 17

User Manual Philips MultiOne

 A specific user-defined group. Expand User-defined groups and select the

desired user-defined group. All commands will now be sent to devices that belong to this specific user-defined group.

9.2.3 Managing user-defined groups

Using the Network, devices can temporarily be grouped into user-defined groups. The purpose of user-defined groups is that they facilitate easy clustering so that a number of devices can be addressed simultaneously. The user-defined groups are lost when MultiOne is closed.

A new user-defined group can be created by right-clicking User-defined groups and selecting Add new group. Alternatively choose Actions  Add user-defined group. A new group is created with a default name, but it can be renamed by clicking it once. To add a device to a user-defined group, right-click the device, select Add to custom group and select one of the available user-defined groups. Alternatively, the device can be dragged onto the desired user-defined group to add it to that group.

To immediately add a device to a new user-defined group, rightclick a device and select Add to

user-defined group and select Add new group. The user-

defined group will be created and the selected device will be added to the newly created user-defined group.

To remove a device from a user-defined group, right-click the device in the group and select Remove.

To remove an entire user-defined group (including its devices), right-click the group and select Remove.

The number of devices in a user-defined group is limited to

64.

Page 18

User Manual Philips MultiOne

9.2.4 Managing groups

Once all the devices in the DALI network are commissioned, i.e. have a unique short address, it is possible to work with DALI groups.

Select the Groups tab and press Scan groups. After having scanned the network for groups, the Groups tab shows all the DALI groups and the found devices for every group.

DALI groups are much more comprehensive than userdefined groups. The important difference is that with DALI grouping information is stored in the devices themselves. Therefore, DALI grouping is more permanent than userdefined grouping.

By clicking on a device you will make that particular device the active one, meaning that all actions will be performed on this device only, and will be ignored by all other devices.

The options are:

 With a right-click on an un-grouped device you can:

o Identify the device o Add to, add the device to one group o Configure…, add device to multiple groups

 With a right-click on a device in a group you can:

Page 19

User Manual Philips MultiOne



o Identify the device o Add to, add the device to one other group o Configure…, add/remove device to/from multiple groups o Remove, remove device from current group

Besides selecting a single device for communication, it is also possible to communicate with a group of devices.

The options are:

 With a right-click on a group you can:

o Identify the devices in the group o Configure…, add/remove multiple devices to/from the group o Clear group, remove the devices from the group

The number of devices in a DALI group is limited to 64.

12.15 Setting preferences

MultiOne has a preferences window that allows you to customize the way MultiOne works. To access the preferences window select Tools  Preferences.

The Preferences window that pops up allows you to set MultiOne preferences.

The following list summarizes the available preferences and gives an explanation for each.

 Show application mode selector on startup. When MultiOne is started you

are presented with a screen that allows you choose an application mode, based on the tasks you would like to perform. You can disable this screen by clearing the Show application mode selector on startup checkbox. Changing this settings only takes effect one MultiOne is restarted.

 Scan network automatically on startup. By checking this checkbox MultiOne

will automatically initiate a network scan on startup. Changing this settings only takes effect one MultiOne is restarted.

 Write & verify. By default, MultiOne will write parameters to the connected

device(s) without checking the state of the device afterwards. By enabling Write & verify you force MultiOne to perform an additional verification step by reading back the written parameters immediately after writing. If the

Page 68

User Manual Philips MultiOne

received values differ from the parameters that were written, MultiOne will alert you that there is a deviation between MultiOne and the device. The Write & verify uses different status icons then Write. When a Write & verify action is successful the icon will be totally green . When the verify action has failed the entire icon will become red. A pending action will be displayed is a grey icon. It is also possible that a part of the Write & verify fails. To help indicate where the action failed, two extra icons exist. If the first half of the icon is red and the second part is grey, then the write action failed. When the first part is green and the second part is red, then the read action has failed.

 MultiOne updates. Changing this setting allows the user to control the

update method of MultiOne. The following options are possible: Automatic – Check, download, install: MultiOne will automatically check for updates and if available download and install them automatically. Automatic – Check, download only: MultiOne will automatically check for updates and if available download them. The user then has to agree to let MultiOne update itself. Automatic - Check only: MultiOne will automatically check for updates and notify the user if a new version is available. The user can then allow MultiOne to download and install the update. Manual: MultiOne will do nothing and the user has to force MultiOne to check, download and install any update.

 Re-enable all warnings. MultiOne produces a number of warnings that you

can disable by checking their Don’t show this message again checkbox. If you would like to reset all suppressed warnings click the Re-enable all

warnings button.

12.16 Manually selecting the USB2DALI interface

MultiOne will automatically detect the USB2DALI interface that is connected to the PC. However when multiple interfaces are connected it will use the interface on the port that is found first. It is possible to manually change the port that is used by selecting Tools  Connection settings.

Page 69

User Manual Philips MultiOne

In the pop-up window it is then possible to select the desired port.

Page 70

User Manual Philips MultiOne

12.17 Enabling/Disabling the power supply of the USB2DALI interface

The USB2DALI interface will automatically detect if the DALI bus is powered by another device (for example a DALI power supply). If the DALI network is not powered, it will use its internal power supply.

If, during operation, the DALI network is changed in a way that it requires the USB2DALI interface to switch on or off its internal power supply, you can do so using the option Tools  Power supply.

12.21 Troubleshooting

Problem: After starting MultiOne, no devices are displayed. Solution: Click the Scan network button on the Network panel to start discovering

the devices in the network. If the devices connected have already a DALI short address this will not be changed. Devices without a short address will be programmed with a short address. When the Commission button is clicked, the short addresses of all connected devices will be renewed, whether they already had a short address or not.

Problem: I would like to assign a specific short address to a device. Solution: First scan the network for devices. Right-click the device you would like to

give a short address and select Set short address. A dialog window will appear in which you can enter the desired short address. Click OK to program the short address into the device.

Problem: I would like to remove the short address of a device. Solution: First scan the network for devices. Right-click the device whose short

address you would like to remove and select Reset short address. You will be informed that the short address was reset.

Problem: I would like to configure the special features of the connected device. Solution: After scanning the network for devices, a device has to be selected by clicking it in the Network. Select the Device features tab. The related features will appear. To

update the view to the actual status of the features, click Read on the toolbar. If you now change any of the features, and want this to be stored into the device, click Write on the toolbar.

Problem: I would like to know more technical details of a device. Solution: Please refer to the Philips website for more detailed information
