Lighting control / query

Click on the device number (in this example, Device #00). A dialog mask appears with areas for direct lamp control, indirect lamp control and query.

Direct light control (control via direct DALI commands for lamp power)

Sets the lamp intensity to the specified value.

KS2000 - parameterization of the DALI/DSI devices - lighting control / queries

Indirect light control (control via the indirect DALI commands for lamp power)

Buttons that send an associated DALI command to the selected device are available for the main functions.

Switching off

Switches off the lamp connected to the DALI device without fading (sends DALI command 0_dec).

Down

Dims the DALI device over a period of 200 ms using the selected fade rate (sends DALI command 2_dec)

Up

Brightens the DALI device over a period of 200 ms using the selected fade rate (sends DALI command 1_dec)

Step Down

Lowers the current lamp power value by one graduation without fading (sends DALI command 4_dec), assuming the lamp has not already been set to its parameterized minimum (MIN) value. If the lamp has already been set to its MIN value, it is not changed, and remains switched on. The minimum value can be parameterized on the Variables tab.

Step Up

Sets the current lamp power value one graduation higher without fading (sends DALI command 3_dec), unless it is already switched on. If the lamp is switched off, it is not switched on.

Step Down and off

Sets the current lamp power value one step lower without fading (sends DALI command 7_dec). If the lamp is already set to its parameterized minimum (MIN) value, it is switched off. The MIN value can be parameterized on the Variables tab.

On and Step Up

Sets the current lamp power value one step higher without fading (DALI command 8_dec). If the lamp is switched off, it is switched on and is set to its parameterized minimum (MIN) value. The MIN value can be parameterized on the Variables tab.

Recall MIN LEVEL

Sets the lamp power value to the parameterized minimum (sends DALI command 6_dec). If the lamp was switched off, it is switched on.

Recall MAX LEVEL

Sets the lamp power value to the parameterized maximum (sends DALI command 5_dec). If the lamp was switched off, it is switched on.

Go to Scene

Select a scene.
Click the Go to scene button.

Sets the DALI device's lamp power value to the level parameterized for the selected scene (sends a DALI command between 16 and 31_dec). This value can be parameterized on the Scenes tab.

Queries

This dialog allows you to inquire about information regarding the status of the DALI device:

Select the desired query.
Click the Send query button.

Query ballast

Asks whether the DALI device is ready for data exchange (DALI command 145dec).

Query lamp failure

Asks whether the DALI device has a lamp problem (DALI command 146_dec).

Query lamp power supply switched on

Asks whether the power supply to the DALI device has been switched on (DALI command 147_dec).

Query limit value error

Asks whether a limit value error has occurred on the DALI device (DALI command 148_dec).

Query reset status

Asks whether the DALI device is in the reset state (DALI command 149_dec).

Query missing short address

Asks whether the DALI device is missing the short address (DALI command 150_dec).

Query DTR contents

Reads the content of the Data Transfer Register (DTR) from the DALI device (DALI command 152_dec).

Query device type

Reads the type of the DALI device (DALI command 153_dec). The following device types exist:
0: Standard device
1: Device for emergency lighting
2: Device for HID lamps
3: Device for dimming bulbs
5 to 255 are reserved for future device types. You may find further information in the DIN EN 60929 standard.

Query power supply fault

Asks whether a fault in the power supply has occurred at the DALI device (DALI command 155_dec).
