Set the "Response at the beginning of the disable function" parameter in the "Groups - [x] group
name" parameter node to the required behaviour.
At the beginning of the disable, the parameterized behaviour will be executed and the bus control of
the group will be locked. If the "No change" setting is selected, the devices of the disabled group will
show no reaction and remain in the brightness state last set by the disable function.
If the "Blinking" setting is selected, the group will be switched on and off cyclically during the disable.
The “Blinking rate” is generally parameterized for all groups in the “General” parameter node (x =
group number 1...32). During the blinking, the logical switching state of the group will be reported as
“Switched on – 1“ and the brightness value as “Switch on brightness”. A Soft-ON/OFF function will
not be executed during the blinking.
If “Memory value” is selected, the brightness value will be set to the brightness value that was active
and internally stored prior to the switch-off (via the “Switching” or “Switching central function”). This
memory value is permanently stored so that the value is pre-defined to the maximum brightness after
bus or mains voltage return or after programming with the ETS.
Set the "Response at the end of the disable function" parameter in the "Groups - [x] group name"
parameter node to the required behaviour.
At the end of the disable, the parameterized behaviour will be executed and the bus mode re-
enabled. If the "No change" setting is selected, the devices of the disabled group will show no
reaction and remain in the state last set by the disable function.
If “Tracked brightness value” is selected, the state received or set prior to the executed disable
function will be resumed with the applicable brightness value. If applicable, active time functions will
also be considered.
When the "Blinking" setting is selected, the group is switched on and off cyclically after the disable.
Generally, the “Blinking rate” is parameterized for all groups in the “General” parameter node (x =
group number 1...32). During the blinking, the logical switching state of the group will be reported as
“Switched on – 1“ and the brightness value as “Switch on brightness”. A Soft-ON/OFF function will
not be executed during the blinking. The blinking state will remain active until another bus command
is received or until the manual control will provide a different brightness value.
When “Memory value” is selected, the brightness value will be set to the brightness value that was
active and internally stored prior to the switch-off (via the “Switching” or “Switching central function”).
This memory value is permanently stored so that the value is pre-defined to the maximum brightness
after bus or mains voltage return or after programming with the ETS.
The disable function will always be deactivated after a bus or mains voltage failure or after
programming the application with the ETS. In the inverted setting ("0 = enabled; 1 = disabled"), a "0"
telegram update must first be sent after the initialization before the disabled state is activated.
Updates of the disable object from "Activated" to "Activated" or from "Deactivated" to "Deactivated"
will have no reaction on the DALI devices. When updating from “Activated” to “Activated”, feedback
telegrams will be transmitted to the KNX/EIB according to the adjusted disable behaviour if feedback
is enabled and actively transmitting.
A group that has been disabled via the KNX/EIB can still be operated manually. At the end of a
manual control, the Gateway will re-execute the disable function for the affected groups if the disable
is still activated at this point.
When “Tracked brightness value” is selected”: The overridden functions of the DALI Gateway
(switching, dimming, brightness value, scenes) will internally still be processed during the disable.
Thus, newly received bus telegrams will be evaluated and time functions will be triggered. The
tracked states will be set at the end of the disable. A scene recall will not be tracked.
