DFDALI

The value of the current brightness level is in the range 0 to 
100; if no ballast has been addressed as 1, then the repor-
ted value will be 255. A lamp failure condition will be in-
stead reported by the value 128; if the answer from the bal-
last will not be understood the value 129 will be reported.
If the brightness level of each ballast on the DALI line is re-
quired by the application, a script for DFCP is available for 
this purpose; contact 

DUEMMEGI

 for more information.

Case 2 (checked option):

In this case, each point 1¸8  reports the status of the auto-
matic   brightness   regulation   of   the   relevant   zone.   For  in-
stance, point 1, when activated, reports that the automatic 
brightness regulation is currently activated for zone 1.

Output section

The related data field (16-bit) for the execution of the com-
mands on the ballasts, has the following meaning:

The

 can assume different values depending on 

the typology of the addressed target, identified by the value 
of the high byte of the channel, as in the following table:

When the destination is broadcast or single ballast or single 
group, the function executed by the module depends on the 
value written on the low byte of the output data field, as de-
scribed in the next table.
If instead the destination is in the range 0x91 to 0x98, then 
the value specified by the low byte (Function) assumes the 
meaning   of   “setpoint   value”  

divided   by   10

  used   for   the 

automatic brightness regulation; for instance, to send 300 
as setpoint value on group 3, the value 0x931E has to be 
sebt (0x93 means the setpoint setting for group 3 and 0x1E 
= 30 is the wanted setpoint value: 30 x 10 = 300).

function in hexadecimal format (HEX)

where  YY  is the  destination  in decimal format  (DEC) 
and ZZ is the code of  the function in decimal format 
(DEC)

Notes:

DFDALI module, normally, polls all the ballasts connected to 
the line; this polling can be disabled sending the code 112 (of 
course losing all information about the diagnostic and the cur-
rent level). The code 113 will enable again the polling; the cur-
rent status of the polling is reported by the point 11 of the input 
section (if enabled). At the module power up or after a reset 
the polling is always enabled by default.
