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 seehttp://www.knx.org)
Note:
DALI stands for Digital Addressable 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.
