ETS project design and commissioning
For creating a project and for the commissioning of this device it is recommended to use the ETS3.0d
version. Advantages with regards to downloading (significantly shorter loading times) can be expected
only if this ETS patch version or later versions are used. The advantages result from the use of the new
mask version 7.5 and the ETS3 support.
The product database required for the ETS3.0d is offered in the *.VD4 format. The corresponding
application program has the version number “1.1”. For older versions of the ETS3 a separate product
database is available in the *.VD2 format. The application program for these ETS versions is version
"0.1".
As far as the scope of functions described in this documentation is concerned, there is no difference
between the two application programs.
When older ETS versions are updated to the level of version ETS3.0d or to that of later versions, an
additional tool in the form of an ETS add-in is available. This tool is capable of converting older product
databases of application version "0.1", for instance from existing ETS2 projects, into the new
application format (version "1.1"). This feature permits making use of the advantages of the ETS3.0d
application in an easy way and without creating any changes to the project design. The ETS3 add-in
can be obtained separately from the manufacturer and is free of charge.
Safe-state mode
If the device - for instance as a result of errors in the project design or during commissioning - does not
work properly, the execution of the loaded application program can be paused by activating the safe-
state mode. In the safe-state mode, the outputs cannot be controlled via the bus. A manual control for
broadcast is the only feature that can be activated. The Gateway remains passive in safe-state mode
since the application program is not being executed (state-of-execution: terminated). Only the system
software is still functional so that the ETS diagnosis functions and also the programming of the device
continue to be possible.
Activating safe-state mode
Disconnect the mains voltage supply.
Press the programming key and keep it pressed.
Switch on the mains voltage supply. Release the programming key only after the programming LED
starts blinking slowly.
The safe-state mode is now activated. With another brief press on the programming key, the
programming mode can be switched on and off as usual also in the safe-state mode. The
programming LED will nonetheless continue to blink independent of the programming mode as long
as the safe-state mode remains active.
•
The safe-state mode can be terminated by switching off the mains voltage supply or by programming
with the ETS.
•
For the activation of the safe-state mode, the bus voltage does not have to be switched on.
Unloading the application program
The application program can be unloaded via the ETS. In this case, only manual control is possible for
the broadcast of connected DALI devices.
