Operation and indication parameters

Whether the manual operation is to be possible or deactivated during bus operation (bus voltage on) can be configured here.

Whether the manual operation is to be possible or deactivated in the event of a bus voltage failure (bus voltage switched off) can be configured here.

Manual operation can be disabled via the KNX, even if it is already active. For this purpose, the disabling object can be enabled here.

This parameter is only visible if manual control is enabled during bus operation.

This parameter sets the polarity of the disabling object.

This parameter is only visible if the disabling function is enabled.

The gateway can transmit a status message to the KNX by means of a separate object when the manual operation is activated or deactivated.

This parameter is only visible if manual control is enabled during bus operation.

This parameter defines the information contained in the status object. The object is always "OFF" when manual operation is deactivated.

0 = inactive / 1 = manual operation active: The object is "ON" when manual operation is active (temporary or permanent).

0 = inactive / 1 = permanent manual operation active: The object is only "ON" when permanent manual operation is active.

This parameter is only visible if the status function is enabled.

The behaviour of the gateway at the end of permanent manual control depends on this parameter. This parameter is only visible if manual control is enabled during bus operation.

No change: all telegrams received during an active permanent manual control mode for direct operation (switching, dimming, brightness value, scenes) will be rejected. After ending the permanent manual operation, the states of all DALI groups and single devices that were active last in manual operation remain unchanged. If, however, a forced position or disabling function was activated via the KNX before or during the manual operation, the gateway executes these functions of higher priority for the groups and single devices concerned.

Track outputs: during active permanent manual operation, all incoming telegrams and state changes are tracked internally. At the end of manual operation, the DALI groups and single devices are set to the last tracked brightness states. If a forced position or disabling function was activated via KNX before or during manual operation, the gateway executes these functions of higher priority again for the groups and single devices concerned.

This parameter defines whether a temporary or permanent manual operation is automatically terminated as soon as the bus voltage is switched on. It can be set only if the manual operation is active during bus operation.

Individual groups and single devices can be disabled locally during a permanent manual operation so that the disabled channels can no longer be controlled via the KNX. Disabling via manual operation is only permitted if this parameter is activated.

This parameter is only visible if manual control is enabled during bus operation.

If necessary, the separate control of the groups and single devices by manual operation can be supplemented by broadcast control. If this parameter is activated, all operating devices connected to a DALI system can be switched or dimmed simultaneously. In this case, the selection "bc" is to be selected on the 7-segment display.

If a DALI system is configured to "central control" for the "addressing type", the DALI devices are always controlled by a broadcast command. The parameter is permanently activated, provided all DALI systems available in the present device variant are set to central control.

This parameter is visible only if the manual control is enabled for bus operation or in the event of a bus voltage failure.

After starting the automatic device replacement, the gateway is able to check a DALI system for completeness integrated in the system by a manual operation on the device. The DALI gateway detects individual replaced electronic ballasts and can program these devices with the appropriate programming data. The automatic device replacement for the DALI system 1 can be initiated by the manual operation on site at the device only if this parameter is activated. If the parameter is deactivated, a manual operation for device replacement will produce no reaction.

If a DALI system is configured to "central control" with the "addressing type", it is generally not necessary to carry out automatic device replacement because no device addressing takes place in the DALI system. The parameter is then permanently deactivated.

This parameter is visible only if the manual control is enabled for bus operation or in the event of a bus voltage failure.

After starting the automatic device replacement, the gateway is able to check a DALI system for completeness integrated in the system by a manual operation on the device. The DALI gateway detects individual replaced electronic ballasts and can program these devices with the appropriate programming data. The automatic device replacement for the DALI system 2 can be initiated by the manual operation on site at the device only if this parameter is activated. If the parameter is deactivated, a manual operation for device replacement will produce no reaction.

If a DALI system is configured to "central control" with the "addressing type", it is generally not necessary to carry out automatic device replacement because no device addressing takes place in the DALI system. The parameter is then permanently deactivated.

This parameter is visible only if the manual control is enabled for bus operation or in the event of a bus voltage failure.

The gateway has a 7-segment display on the front of the device that shows the number of the selected group and the short address of the selected single device during active manual operation. In addition, further operating states of the device are signaled by the 7-segment display (broadcast mode, DALI initialisation, automatic device replacement, DALI system voltage error). The 7-segment display is switched off in normal operation of the gateway.

Parameter deactivated: Normal indication is active. In this case, the 7-segment display only shows the number of the selected DALI group and the short address of the selected single device if a manual operation is active. In addition, the special operating states mentioned in the introduction are signalled. In normal operation, the indication remains switched off.

Parameter activated: Temporary status indication is activated. In this case, the status indication "--" is activated by pressing the "Manual operation" button. The display length is set in the ETS. If manual operation is enabled in the ETS, pressing the "Manual operation" button also activates the temporary or permanent manual operation mode. The 7-segment display always remains active during manual operation. At the end of manual operation mode, the display length of the temporary status indication is restarted. The indication "--" goes out after the configured time has elapsed.

This parameter defines the display length if the temporary status indication is activated.

If the parameter "Control via object" is activated, the "Temporary status indication" communication object is available in the ETS. This object is bidirectional and can firstly signal the status of the temporary status indication, and secondly, activate the status display. If a temporary status indication has been activated by pressing the "Manual operation" button, the object transmits the value "ON". If the object receives a telegram with the value "OFF" or "ON", the status LEDs indicate the status of the outputs according to the display length. Manual operation is not activated in this case.
