Overview
Using DALI lighting without complicated DALI commissioning
The lighting control system uses ECGs with DALI interfaces, for
example, in order to be able to signal lamp failures.
Using the N 525E switch/dimming actuators, it is now possible
to use DALI devices in GAMMA
instabus
without any prior
knowledge of the DALI system and DALI commissioning.
The N 525E switch/dimming actuators switches and dims eight
mutually independent groups of fluorescent lamps with
dimmable ECG with DALI interface. Up to eight DALI ECGs
can be connected to each of the eight channels.
The solution:
The benefits:
• Real 0 to 100% luminosity control
• High operating safety due to selective disconnection in the
event of a fault
• Fault indications for light groups
• For individual room light control
Proceed as follows:
• Connect the N 525E switch/dimming actuator to the KNX
• Connect each group of DALI ECGs that are to be jointly
controlled, to an output of the
N 525E switch/dimming actuator
• Configure each channel as a conventional actuator in the ETS
and program the device
You require the following:
• N 525E switch/dimming actuators (5WG1 525-1EB01)
• Dimmable ECGs with DALI interface
• ETS3 (current version see http://www.knx.org)
Note:
DALI stands for Digital Adressable Lighting Interface. DALI is a digital
interface that is integrated in the controlgear of lamps and enables flexible
wiring and commissioning. As well as switching and dimming functions, they
are also able to detect and signal lighting failures.
