Global switching status

When using the global switching status, a visualisation can be linked to the corresponding status object (1 bit) of the gateway, for example in order to indicate the collected switching state of a DALI system at a central point of a building.

If all DALI operating devices of the DALI system concerned have been switched off during the running time, the object value of the global switching status immediately switches to "OFF". The state of the switching status changes to "ON" as soon as the gateway has switched on at least one operating device by a DALI command. In contrast to the standby switch-off, no ON or OFF delays can be configured for the global switching status.

The status object of the global switching status always works with active transmission as soon as the status changes. The state is transmitted to the KNX after the bus/mains voltage returns or after an ETS programming operation if a device is switched on or off after resetting it. Optionally, the global switching status can be transmitted cyclically in addition to transmission when the object value changes. The "Cyclical transmission" parameter defines whether cyclical transmission is enabled or not. If enabled, the "Cycle time" parameter on the same parameter page defines the time for cyclical transmission.

The transmission of the status telegram can optionally be delayed after the bus/mains voltage returns, whereby the delay time is set globally for all status functions of the gateway together. If the delay after the bus/mains voltage returns is required, the parameter with the same name must be activated. Otherwise, the global switching status is transmitted without delay after a device reset.
