“Devices Channel A"
parameter window
Fig. 7:
Parameter window "Device – normal operating mode"
In this parameter window the properties of every DALI device on channel
A are parameterised. For the devices of channel B an identical parameter
window “Devices Channel B” is available with the exception of the status
feedbacks and the brightness values.
First of all the devices to be parameterised are selected by the number of
the device A01…A64 or B01…B64.
The parameterisation relates exclusively to the selected DALI devices.
It is important to note that the status messages of the switching states
and the brightness values are received via the same communication
objects with which the switching operation (object Device
Axy “Switch/Status”) is received or the brightness value (object Device
Axy “Brightness value/Status”) is set.
The status feedback function should only be used after
careful consideration as the load on the bus will increase
dramatically with 64 devices. In order to influence this, a
telegram limitation (time between two telegrams) can be
considered in the "General" parameter page. This limitation
refers to the individual status messages of the switching
state and the brightness values. The parameterised time
applies for all DALI devices.
