ECG and group detail info
The DALI devices can be controlled in four different ways.
Broadcast
In this case telegrams that all participating devices react to are sent to the DALI bus.
The commands are executed by all ECGs even if they have not yet been commissioned.
Therefore, these commands work independently of the status of the DALI system.
Group control
In this case group telegrams are sent so that a particular group can be controlled. For this
process to work correctly, the ECGs have to have been assigned to groups and the configuration
has to be downloaded onto the gateway.
ECG control
In this case, ECGs can be individually controlled.
Emergency (Converter)
The emergency converter can be set into inhibit mode.
If the power supply for the connected emergency lights is turned off within 15 minutes after
activating the converter inhibit mode, the lights are turned off instead of changing into
emergency mode. This operating mode may be necessary during the commissioning and
installation process to prevent constant emergency lighting and battery discharge.
Initialize ECG
This function is only available in the right tree. This can be used to completely delete an ECG.
After this action, it is no longer present and can only be found by a post installation. Therefore,
this action must be confirmed by the operator:
The DCA offers different options to activate these commands. The gateway must be
commissioned and a connection to the gateway must be available for all of the options.
