Part 209 (color/color temperature control)

The function blocks and variables for lamps for color/color temperature control with DALI interface are described below. All below function blocks described below call 'application-related expansion commands'. According to the DALI standard (IEC 62386) these commands are within the range 224 to 255. Because of the existence of a variety of application-related expansion commands, it is necessary to use the FB_DALIV2EnableDeviceType() function block to specify which type of control gears (emergency lighting, discharge lamps, ...) should react to the extension commands. A precise description of the individual DALI commands and the variables for lamps for color/color temperature control with DALI interface can be found in IEC 62386 part 209.

Part 209 (color/color temperature control) 1:

Function blocks

Name	Description
FB_DALIV2Activate	Starts a new cross-fade. A running cross-fade will be ended beforehand.
FB_DALIV2AssignColourToLinkedChannel	Linked output channels are assigned to the defined color.
FB_DALIV2ColourTemperatureTcStepCooler	The value COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc is decremented by 1 Mirek.
FB_DALIV2ColourTemperatureTcStepWarmer	The value COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc is incremented by 1 Mirek.
FB_DALIV2CopyReportToTemporary	The color settings report is copied to the temporary color settings.
FB_DALIV2QueryAssignedColour	Reads the assigned color of the specified output channel.
FB_DALIV2QueryColourStatus	The COLOR STATUS variable is read from the control gear.
FB_DALIV2QueryColourTypeFeatures	The color representations supported by the control gear are read out.
FB_DALIV2QueryColourValue	The specified color value is read from the control gear.
FB_DALIV2QueryGearFeaturesStatus	The GEAR FEATURES/STATUS variable is read from the control gear.
FB_DALIV2QueryRGBWAFControl	The RGBWAF CONTROL variable is read from the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryColourTemperatureTc	Saves the value in the TEMPORARY COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryPrimaryNDimlevel	Saves the value in the TEMPORARY PRIMARY N DIMLEVEL variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryRGBDimlevel	Saves the values in the TEMPORARY RED DIMLEVEL, TEMPORARY GREEN DIMLEVEL and TEMPORARY BLUE DIMLEVEL variables of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryRGBWAFControl	Saves the value in the TEMPORARY RGBWAF CONTROL variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryWAFDimlevel	Saves the values in the TEMPORARY WHITE DIMLEVEL, TEMPORARY AMBER DIMLEVEL and TEMPORARY FREECOLOR DIMLEVEL variables of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryXCoordinate	Saves the value in the TEMPORARY x-COORDINATE variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2SetTemporaryYCoordinate	Saves the value in the TEMPORARY y-COORDINATE variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2StartAutoCalibration	The calibration procedure is started in order to measure the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate and the TY value of all supported primary colors.
FB_DALIV2StoreColourTemperatureTcLimit	Saves the value in the COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc COOLEST, COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc WARMEST, COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc PHYSICAL COOLEST or COLOR TEMPERATURE Tc PHYSICAL WARMEST variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2StoreGearFeaturesStatus	Saves the value in the GEAR FEATURES/STATUS variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2StoreTYPrimaryN	Saves the value in the TY PRIMARY N variable of the control gear.
FB_DALIV2StoreXyCoordinatePrimaryN	Copies the value from the TEMPORARY x-COORDINATE and TEMPORARY y-COORDINATE variables to the x-COORDINATE PRIMARY N and y-COORDINATE PRIMARY N variables.
FB_DALIV2XCoordinateStepDown	The x-COORDINATE variable is reduced by 256 steps (256 / 65536) without cross-fading.
FB_DALIV2XCoordinateStepUp	The x-COORDINATE variable is increased by 256 steps (256 / 65536) without cross-fading.
FB_DALIV2YCoordinateStepDown	The y-COORDINATE variable is reduced by 256 steps (256 / 65536) without cross-fading.
FB_DALIV2YCoordinateStepUp	The y-COORDINATE variable is increased by 256 steps (256 / 65536) without cross-fading.

These commands belongs to the application-related expansion commands for lamps for the color/color temperature control with DALI interface. They function only if they are preceded by the Enable Device Type 8 command, which can be sent with the FB_DALIV2EnableDeviceType() function block. The Enable Device Type 8 command is internally placed automatically before all application-related expansion commands for lamps for the color/color temperature control with DALI interface.
