Parameter for supplementary functions

Supplementary functions can be enabled for each group and single device. As a supplementary function, a disabling or alternatively a forced position function can be configured. In this respect, only one of these functions can be enabled for each group or single device.

Disabling function: During an active disabling function, the KNX operation of the groups or single devices is overridden and locked. Continuous light switching, for example, can also be overridden. The deactivation of the disabling function can optionally take place using an additional 1-bit acknowledgement object. This prevents the deactivation of the disabling function by the disabling object. The disabling function is enabled. The communication object "Disabling function - Activate/ Deactivate" and the parameters of the disabling function become visible.

Forced position: The forced position function can also be combined with other functions of a group or single device. With an active forced position, the upstream functions are overridden so that the affected group or device is locked. The forced position function possesses a separate 2-bit communication object. The forced position is enabled. The communication object "Forced position - Activate/Deactivate" and the parameter of the forced position function become visible.

At the beginning and end of a disabling function, assigned groups and single devices can flash (cyclical switching on and off). The flashing time is configured globally for all disabling functions of the DALI system at this point.

If disabling is active, the switching output can transmit the status via a 1-bit communication object.

Parameter activated: The status object is available. When the disabling function is activated, it sends a telegram with the value "1" (="enabled"). When the disabling function is deactivated, it sends a telegram with the value "0" (="not enabled").

Parameter deactivated: No additional status object is available.

The acknowledgment prevents the deactivation of the disabling function by the disabling object. The behaviour at the end of the disabling function is influenced by the acknowledgement object.

Checkbox activated: The acknowledgement object is available. The disabling function can only be deactivated using the acknowledgement object by an "ON telegram". Telegrams to the disabling object according to the "Deactivate disabling" polarity are ignored by the gateway.

Checkbox deactivated: No additional acknowledgement object is available. The disabling function is deactivated by the disabling object according to the set polarity.

This parameter configures the desired polarity for activating and deactivating the disabling function.

After a bus failure or mains voltage failure or programming the application or the parameters with the ETS, the disabling function is always deactivated (object value "0"). With the inverted setting ("1 = enabled / 0 = disabled"), a telegram update "0" must first be carried out after the initialisation until the disabling is activated.

The behaviour at the beginning of the disabling function can be specified separately for the brightness control and optionally - if the groups and single devices have this range of functions - also for the colour temperature control and colour control. This parameter defines the behaviour of the brightness at the beginning of the disabling function.

Switch-off: A group or single device switches off at the beginning of the disabling function.

Preset: The brightness specified by the "Brightness value" parameter is set at the beginning of the disabling function.

Memory value (brightness as before last switch-off): The brightness value is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After an ETS programming operation, the memory value is predefined to "100%". This value is optionally limited by the maximum brightness.

No reaction: The operating devices of the disabled group or the single device do not react. The devices remain in the most recently set brightness state.

Flashing: The affected devices are switched on and off cyclically during disabling. The "Time for flashing of the disabling functions" is generally configured on the parameter page "DALI System... -> General". During flashing, the logical switching state is fed back as "Switched on" and the brightness value as "Switch-on brightness". A soft ON/OFF function is not executed during flashing.

This parameter configures the brightness value to be retrieved at the beginning of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a brightness value is to be retrieved at the beginning of the disabling function.

The behaviour at the beginning of the disabling function can be specified separately for the brightness control and optionally - if the groups and single devices have this range of functions - also for the colour temperature control and colour control. This parameter defines the behaviour of the colour temperature at the beginning of the disabling function.

Preset: The colour temperature specified by the "Colour temperature" parameter is set at the beginning of the disabling function.

Memory value (colour temperature as before last switch-off): The colour temperature value is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After ETS programming, the memory value is predefined to "minimum colour temperature".

No reaction: The operating devices of the disabled group or the single device do not react. The devices remain in the colour temperature state last set.

This parameter is available only if the group and single device support this range of functions.

This parameter configures the colour temperature value to be recalled at the beginning of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a colour temperature value is to be recalled at the beginning of the disabling function.

The behaviour at the beginning of the disabling function can be specified separately for the brightness control and optionally - if the groups and single devices have this range of functions - also for the colour temperature control and colour control. This parameter defines the behaviour of the colour at the beginning of the disabling function.

Preset: The colour specified by the parameter "Colour (RGB)" and optionally "White value (W)" is set at the beginning of the disabling function.

Memory value (colour as before last switch-off): The colour is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After an ETS programming operation, the memory colour value is predefined at "#FFFFFF" and the optional white value at "#FF".

No reaction: The operating devices of the disabled group or the single device do not react. The devices remain in the colour state last set.

This parameter is available only if the group and single device support this range of functions.

This parameter configures the RGB colour value to be retrieved at the beginning of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a colour value is to be retrieved at the beginning of the disabling function.

This parameter configures the optional white level to be retrieved at the start of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a colour value is to be retrieved at the start of the disabling function and an RGBW colour space has been configured for the group or single device.

The behaviour at the end of the disabling function can also be specified separately for the brightness control and optionally also for the colour temperature control and colour control. The behaviour is influenced by the acknowledgement object. This parameter defines the behaviour of the brightness at the end of the disabling function.

Switch-off: A group or single device switches off at the end of the disabling function.

Track: The set state received during the disabling function or adjusted before the disabling function can be tracked at the end of the disabling with the appropriate brightness value. During disabling, the overridden functions of the gateway (switching, dimming, value specifications) continue to be processed internally in the device. Consequently, newly received KNX telegrams are evaluated and time functions are triggered as well. At the end of the disabling, the tracked states are set. A scene recall (low priority) is not tracked.

Preset: The brightness specified by the "Brightness value" parameter is set at the end of the disabling function.

Memory value (brightness as before last switch-off): The brightness value is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After an ETS programming operation, the memory value is predefined to "100%". This value is optionally limited by the maximum brightness.

No reaction: The operating devices of the disabled group or the single device do not react. The devices remain in the state most recently set by the disabling function.

Flashing: The affected devices are switched on and off cyclically after disabling. The flashing time is generally configured on the parameter page "DALI System... -> General". During flashing, the logical switching state is fed back as "Switched on" and the brightness value as "Switch-on brightness". A soft ON/OFF function is not executed during flashing. The flashing status remains active until another bus command is received or manual operation specifies another brightness value.

This parameter configures the brightness value to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a brightness value is to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function.

The behaviour at the end of the disabling function can also be specified separately for the brightness control and optionally also for the colour temperature control and colour control. The behaviour is influenced by the acknowledgement object. This parameter defines the behaviour of the colour temperature at the end of the disabling function.

Track: The set state received during the disabling function or adjusted before the disabling function can be tracked at the end of the disabling with the appropriate colour temperature value. During disabling, the overridden functions of the gateway (switching, dimming, value specifications) continue to be processed internally in the device. Consequently, newly received KNX telegrams are evaluated and time functions are triggered as well. At the end of the disabling, the tracked states are set. A scene recall (low priority) is not tracked.

Preset: The colour temperature specified by the "Colour temperature" parameter is set at the beginning of the disabling function.

Memory value (colour temperature as before last switch-off): The colour temperature value is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After ETS programming, the memory value is predefined to "minimum colour temperature".

No reaction: The operating devices of the disabled group or the single device do not react. The devices remain in the colour temperature state last set.

This parameter is available only if the group and single device support this range of functions.

This parameter configures the colour temperature value to be recalled at the end of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a colour temperature value is to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function.

The behaviour at the end of the disabling function can also be specified separately for the brightness control and optionally also for the colour temperature control and colour control. The behaviour is influenced by the acknowledgement object. This parameter defines the behaviour of the colour at the end of the disabling function.

Track: The set state received during the disabling function or adjusted before the disabling function can be tracked at the end of the disabling with the appropriate colour value. During disabling, the overridden functions of the gateway (switching, dimming, value specifications) continue to be processed internally in the device. Consequently, newly received KNX telegrams are evaluated and time functions are triggered as well. At the end of the disabling, the tracked states are set. A scene recall (low priority) is not tracked.

Preset: The colour specified by the parameter "Colour (RGB)" and optionally "White value (W)" is set at the beginning of the disabling function.

Memory value (colour as before last switch-off): The colour is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After an ETS programming operation, the memory colour value is predefined at "#FFFFFF" and the optional white value at "#FF".

No reaction: The operating devices of the disabled group or the single device do not react. The devices remain in the colour state last set.

This parameter is available only if the group and single device support this range of functions.

This parameter configures the RGB colour value to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a colour value is to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function.

This parameter configures the optional white level to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function.

This parameter is available only if a colour value is to be retrieved at the end of the disabling function and an RGBW colour space has been configured for the group or single device.

A forced position influences only the brightness control of a group or single device. The colour temperature or colour - provided that the groups and single devices have this range of functions - always remains unchanged in a forced position. This parameter defines the behaviour to be carried out when a forced position is activated via the communication object and the group or the single device is to be forcibly switched on.

Preset: The DALI operating devices set themselves to the brightness configured in the "Brightness value" parameter in the event of a restraint.

No reaction: The bus operation is locked but the operating devices show no response and remain in the most recently set brightness state.

Memory value (brightness before last switch-off): The brightness value is set that was active before the last switch-off and stored internally in the device. This memory value is stored in a non-volatile manner in the gateway so that the value is retained after the bus or mains voltage returns. After an ETS programming operation, the memory value is predefined to "100%". This value is optionally limited by the maximum brightness.

This parameter configures the brightness value to be recalled when a forced position is activated.

This parameter is available only if a brightness value is to be retrieved when the forced position is activated.

The behaviour that is executed when a forced position is activated via the communication object and the group or single device is to be forcibly switched off is permanently defined as "Switch-off". This parameter is therefore not adjustable.

At the end of the forced position, the configured behaviour is executed here. Bus operation is enabled again.

Track: The state received during the forced position function or the brightness value adjusted before the function can be tracked at the end of the forced position. Any time functions still in progress will also be taken into account if necessary. A scene recall (low priority) is not tracked.

No reaction: The operating devices show no response and remain in the brightness state last selected by the forced position.

The behaviour of the forced position after a bus or mains voltage return can be specified by this parameter. This initialises the forced position after a device reset.

After bus or mains voltage return, the configured state is transferred to the "Forced position - Activate/Deactivate" communication object. When a forced position is activated, the group or the single device is immediately activated and interlocked accordingly by forced control after bus/mains voltage return until a forced control takes place via the KNX. In this case, the parameter "After bus voltage return" is not evaluated.

State before bus/mains voltage failure: The last existing and internally stored state of the forced position before bus or mains voltage failure will be tracked. An ETS programming operation deletes the stored state (reaction in that case same as with "no forced position active"). If the tracked state corresponds to "No forced position active", the force-independent parameter "After bus voltage return" will be executed on return of bus voltage. If forced position is activated, the DALI operating devices are switched on to the brightness value predefined by the parameter "Forced position 'active, switch-on'".
