Integrated constant lighting control with DALI sensors 1 / 3 DALI-sensor mounted in a pendant luminaire ➜ only DALI-cable (no additional KNX bus cable required in the luminaire). 3 1 2 30% KNX offers complete integration of the DALI lighting system into a building automation system via a DALI or KNX interface. Using brightness sensors with an integrated DALI interface is particularly efficient for pendant luminaires, as the sensor in the luminaire only needs to be connected to DALI.
Installation checklist for KNX/DALI Gateways • Connect all ECGs and luminaires • Supply all lights with mains voltage (230V).
Device operation Menu control on the device via keys and display: A1 A2 • The menu can be accessed via the A6 key. • Use the A7 key for menu control on the first level and A8 for menu control on the second level. • To confirm the selection, press key A6, then press key A3 to return to the menu. Pressing button A3 twice takes you from the menu to the status display. After five minutes the display automatically switches back to the status display.

Topology DALI line length per channel Total line length The DALI cable length per channel for copper at 25° C depends on the conductor average: • 2.5 mm² max. 300 m • 1.5 mm² max. 300 m • 1.0 mm² max. 224 m • 0.75 mm² max. 168 m • 0.5 mm² max. 112 m The line loop resistance for each connected ECG may not exceed ten ohms. A Practical tip: Planning with a max. 48 ECG per DALI line (¾) (¼ reserve for future).

Standby switch-off Button DALI Office combo-sensor Sensor head DALI Button input 4x AC 230 V Channel A max. 64 ECG at 2 mA per c hannel Usually lights with ECG require quiescent current, even when the lighting is switched off or in standby mode. Although this adds up, savings is possible with the KNX/DALI Gateway Twin plus: by automatically switching off the power supply for the ECGs.
Energy savings by standby switch-off In large functional buildings such as hotels, schools and offices with unused rooms, e. g. on weekends or at night, the standby function of the KNX/DALI Gateway can boost the operational efficiency and service life of devices. As soon as all ECGs are not required for lighting in a defined area, the ECGs can be disconnected from the power supply via a switch-off command from a switching actuator.
Individual light adjustment with Tunable White KNX/DALI Gateways support Tunable White, a constantly variable color temperature control ranging from warm to cool white light. While cool white light encourages concentration, warm white light has a calming effect. In this way, room light can be coordinated to suit individual needs and situations. Dynamic color temperatures not only help maintain a good atmosphere in the room but also contribute to human wellbeing.
“Human Centric Lighting” application DALI KNX/DALI Gateway plus also includes a built-in constant lighting control system which you can use to control a main lighting group and up to four secondary lighting groups for demand-driven and energy-efficient lighting in rooms in parallel with color temperature control. KNX/DALI Gateways from Siemens combine KNX installations with DALI lighting control systems, forming the basis for new design options.
Simple DALI lighting in normal mode Changeover unit 2 KNX line coupler 3 KNX power supply 4 KNX/DALI Gateway 5 Emergency luminaire KNX/DALI Gateways support both lights that are used in normal operation and those used as emergency lighting or as emergency luminaires with single-battery supply. In normal operation, the error messages can be suppressed in case of separation of the ECG during the emergency light test.

Commissioning constant lighting control Proceed as follows for calibration: 1. Switch off the brightness control and the lights. 2. Measure the current brightness under the DALI brightness sensor at desktop level. 3. Obscure the room to about half of the brightness set point or more by closing the blinds. 4. Switch on the lights (not the controller!) and dim to the brightness set point. 5. Set the current brightness value (lux) in the plug-in via “commissioning” ➜ “channel, sensors” ➜ “calibrate”.

Practical tips Set up collective status objects A total of four status objects are available, which send the status coded for each ECG via a communication object. The evaluation takes place in the visualization.
Transfer parameters In the tabular group display of ECGs and sensors, parameters can be transferred or copied to other lines. Proceed as follows: • Select the relevant lines (left-click in combination with CTRL single or first and last with SHIFT). • Hold down CTRL and right-click on the line with parameters that you wish to transfer. • Select “Transfer parameters” from the menu by left-clicking on it.
Calibration of sensors Challenge Solution Calibration of sensors. The calibration allows the brightness sensor to be adapted to the installation situation and the reflective value of the environment. The real “Measured value” in lux from a luxmeter is entered into the field. The correction factor is automatically calculated and displayed in the “Correction factor” field. The measured raw value is displayed for information.
Add ECGs to two different DALI groups Challenge Solution You want to assign an ECG to two different groups. An ECG can only be assigned to one DALI group, so that the unique status of a DALI group is defined. All ECGs of a single DALI group are thus identical. The group formation is not carried out by the DALI group for individual control, but by assigning the same KNX group addresses. This allows the ECGs to be assigned to several KNX group addresses and thus several groups.
