Parameters for colour wheel sequence

DALI System... -> Configuration groups -> [x] Group name -> Colour -> Colour wheel sequence

DALI System... -> Configuration single devices -> [x] Device name -> Colour -> Colour wheel sequence

Start and stop by	Start/stop object (1-bit) Dimming object (4-bit)
A sequence is started and stopped by an object whose data format can be configured either to 1-bit or alternatively to 4-bit. Start/Stop object (1 bit): A sequence is started and stopped by the object "Automatic wheel sequence - Start/stop". The data format is set to 1-bit (DPT 1.010). A sequence is started by an ON telegram. A sequence is stopped by an OFF telegram. Dimming object (4 bits): A sequence is started and stopped by the object "Automatic colour wheel sequence - Start/stop". The data format is set to 4-bit (DPT 3.007). A sequence is started by a "Dimming step up or down" telegram. A sequence is stopped by a "Dimming stop" telegram.

When starting in switched-off state	Switch on no reaction
The adjustment of the hue always starts at the currently set colour if groups or single devices are switched on. When groups or single devices are switched off, the start-up behaviour is determined by this parameter. No reaction: When starting, the affected group or the single device is not switched on. The gateway executes the colour sequence only internally. Only when the brightness is subsequently switched on does the lamp change to the internally tracked colour, but only if the switch-on colour is also configured to "track". Switch-on: Starting a colour wheel sequence immediately switches on a group or single device. In this case, the colour wheel sequence starts at the start value configured by the parameter of the same name.

When starting in switched-off state

Switch on

no reaction

The adjustment of the hue always starts at the currently set colour if groups or single devices are switched on. When groups or single devices are switched off, the start-up behaviour is determined by this parameter.

No reaction: When starting, the affected group or the single device is not switched on. The gateway executes the colour sequence only internally. Only when the brightness is subsequently switched on does the lamp change to the internally tracked colour, but only if the switch-on colour is also configured to "track".

Switch-on: Starting a colour wheel sequence immediately switches on a group or single device. In this case, the colour wheel sequence starts at the start value configured by the parameter of the same name.

Start value	preset Value as before last stop
If a group or single device is to be switched on by starting a colour wheel sequence, the sequence starts at a configurable start value. Preset: A fixed start value is specified as the initial hue (optionally with static white value). Value as before last stop: The colour wheel sequence starts at the colour where a stop was performed last in the course of a previous colour wheel sequence. This parameter is available only if the parameter "When starting in switched-off state = switch-on" is configured.

Start value

preset

Value as before last stop

If a group or single device is to be switched on by starting a colour wheel sequence, the sequence starts at a configurable start value.

Preset: A fixed start value is specified as the initial hue (optionally with static white value).

Value as before last stop: The colour wheel sequence starts at the colour where a stop was performed last in the course of a previous colour wheel sequence.

This parameter is available only if the parameter "When starting in switched-off state = switch-on" is configured.

Colour hue	0°...360°
Setting the start hue value. This parameter is available only in the setting "Start value = preset".

Colour hue

0°...360°

Setting the start hue value.

This parameter is available only in the setting "Start value = preset".

White value (W)	0...255
Setting the white value of the start value. This parameter is available only in the setting "Start value = preset" in the "RGBW combined", "RGBW individually" and "HSVW" colour spaces.

White value (W)

0...255

Setting the white value of the start value.

This parameter is available only in the setting "Start value = preset" in the "RGBW combined", "RGBW individually" and "HSVW" colour spaces.

Sequence direction	in clockwise direction anti-clockwise Toggle
The sequence direction may be either clockwise, anti-clockwise or alternating (toggling). When switching over, the gateway automatically changes the direction of the colour wheel sequence after each start.

Sequence direction

anti-clockwise

Toggle

The sequence direction may be either clockwise, anti-clockwise or alternating (toggling). When switching over, the gateway automatically changes the direction of the colour wheel sequence after each start.

On reaching the range limit	Stop sequence Continue sequence Visualise and continue the sequence
The hue adjustment range is limited to 0° to 360° according to the HSV colour space. This parameter defines the behaviour when the range limit (360° or 0°) is reached. Stop sequence: After reaching the range limit 360° or 0° (red), the colour wheel sequence is stopped automatically. Continue sequence: After reaching the range limit 360° or 0° (red), the colour wheel sequence is automatically continued until it is stopped by the communication object. Visualise and continue the sequence: When the range limit 360° or 0° (red) is reached, a short visualisation is carried out by the lamp and the sequence is then continued in the same direction. Visual feedback is provided by briefly switching the assigned DALI operating devices off and on again. The time between OFF and ON is invariably 1 second. No status telegrams are generated by the short switching process.

The hue adjustment range is limited to 0° to 360° according to the HSV colour space. This parameter defines the behaviour when the range limit (360° or 0°) is reached.

Stop sequence: After reaching the range limit 360° or 0° (red), the colour wheel sequence is stopped automatically.

Total running time	0...23 h 0...59 min 10...30...59 s
After starting the colour wheel sequence, the step-by-step run through the HSV colour wheel begins. With each step, the current hue is either increased or decreased depending on the configured sequence direction, converted into an RGB value and transmitted on the DALI line. The number of steps and consequently the hue increment is derived from the total running time configured at this point. A colour sequence from 0° to 360° takes the specified time. The longer the total running time, the finer the hue adjustment during the sequence and thus the colour resolution is. The hue increment is calculated by "360°: total running time [s]". The total running time exclusively defines the duration and the hue increment of a full colour wheel sequence. It does not specify a start or stop time. A sequence can be stopped before the total running time has elapsed.
