FB_DALIV2SendDALICommand
 
The function block FB_DALIV2SendDALICommand is used for the general sending of a DALI command, defined by command number and, if necessary, transfer parameters. Moreover, it is possible to set whether the command is sent twice in succession and whether to wait for a response. The latter can be used, for example, to realize a fast sequence of step-up commands.
 Inputs
VAR_INPUT
  bStart                       : BOOL;
  nAddr                        : BYTE;
  eAddrType                    : E_DALIV2AddrType := eDALIV2AddrTypeShort;
  eCommandPriority             : E_DALIV2CommandPriority := eDALIV2CommandPriorityMiddle;
  nCommand                     : INT := 0;
  nParameter                   : BYTE := 0;
  bWaitingForDALISlaveResponse : BOOL := FALSE;
  bRepeatCommand               : BOOL := FALSE;
  bSuppressResponseBuffer      : BOOL := FALSE;
  nDeviceType                  : BYTE := 0;
END_VARName  | Type  | Description  | 
|---|---|---|
bStart  | BOOL  | The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input.  | 
nAddr  | BYTE  | The address of a device or of a group  | 
eAddrType  | Short address, group address or broadcast  | |
eCommandPriority  | Priority (high, medium or low) with which the command is processed by the library.  | |
nCommand  | INT  | Number of the DALI command to be sent  | 
nParameter  | BYTE  | Parameter for the value transfer  | 
bWaitingForDALISlaveResponse  | BOOL  | If FALSE there is no waiting for the response of the DALI control gear. Its application makes no sense in connection with any kind of query command.  | 
bRepeatCommand  | BOOL  | Decides whether the command is to be sent twice in succession.  | 
bSuppressResponseBuffer  | BOOL  | If TRUE, the internal software buffer is not filled with the response from function block FB_DALIV2Communication.  | 
nDeviceType  | BYTE  | Identifier for the device type  | 
Value  | Description  | 
|---|---|
0  | Standard device  | 
1  | Device for emergency lighting.  | 
2  | Device for discharge lamps.  | 
3  | Device for low-voltage halogen lamps.  | 
4  | Device for dimming incandescent lamps.  | 
5  | Device for converting digital signals into DC signals.  | 
6  | Device for light emitting diodes (LEDs).  | 
 Inputs/outputs
VAR_IN_OUT
  stCommandBuffer : ST_DALIV2CommandBuffer;
END_VARName  | Type  | Description  | 
|---|---|---|
stCommandBuffer  | ST_DALIV2CommandBuffer  | Reference to the internal structure for communication with FB_KL6811Communication (KL6811) or FB_KL6821Communication (KL6821).  | 
 Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
  bBusy         : BOOL;
  bError        : BOOL;
  nErrorId      : UDINT;
  nResponseData : BYTE;
END_VARName  | Type  | Description  | 
|---|---|---|
bBusy  | BOOL  | When the function block is activated the output is set, and it remains active until execution of the command has been completed.  | 
bError  | BOOL  | This output is switched to TRUE as soon as an error occurs during the execution of a command. The command-specific error code is contained in nErrorId. Is reset to FALSE by the execution of a command at the inputs.  | 
nErrorId  | UDINT  | Contains the command-specific error code of the most recently executed command. Is reset to 0 by the execution of a command at the inputs (see error codes).  | 
nResponseData  | BYTE  | The value received from the DALI control gear, if a query command has been called.  | 
Requirements
Development Environment  | PLC library to include  | 
|---|---|
TwinCAT from v3.1.4020.14  | Tc2_DALI from v3.4.3.0  |
