DALI device replacement
After the start of the automatic device replacement, the DALI Gateway can check the DALI system for
the integrity of the DALI devices previously put into operation. If, for instance, the installer has replaced
a defect DALI electronic ballast device with a new one, the DALI Gateway is able to program the new
electronic ballast device with the project data of the failed electronic ballast device. Thus it is possible
to replace a failed DALI device by a simple operation on the device without any complex ETS
parameterization.
Chapter 2.4 “Commissioning” describes in detail the automatic device replacement and the required
steps to carry out the replacement.
The following describes the ETS parameterization of this function.
Enabling the DALI device replacement
The ETS allows to set parameters that determine whether an automatic device replacement can be
carried out locally at the DALI Gateway.
Set the "Enable DALI device replacement manually?” parameter on the "General" parameter page to
"Yes".
This permits to start and carry out an automatic DALI device replacement locally at the DALI
Gateway.
Set the "Enable DALI device replacement manually?” parameter on the "General" parameter page to
"No".
An automatic DALI device replacement will now not be possible. Locally, the control function is
disabled.
All other functions of the DALI Gateway are paused during the automatic device replacement. The
Gateway tracks all bus states received during the device replacement and regularly analysizes the
values tracked before (switching, dimming, brightness value, scenes, central function, forced-control
position, disable function) at the end of the automatic device replacement. The device replacement
will interrupt any active forced-control position or disable function which will be activated again at the
end of the replacement, if, in the meantime, the functions have not been deactivated via the bus. The
behaviour as at the beginning of these functions will not be carried out again.
An automatic device replacement can also be carried out if the manual control has been disabled.
