DALI PLC Simulation Tool

The DALI PLC Simulation Tool can be used to simulate DALI lines with up to 64 virtual DALI control gears (see Tc3_DALI_PLC_Simulation_Tool_V1.1.0.0.zip).

The TwinCAT project is available for download as *.zip file. This must first be unpacked locally so that the archive (*.tnzip file) is available for import into the TwinCAT project.

Each virtual DALI control gear is represented by a lamp symbol. The number below the symbol is the DALI short address, while the number in the middle contains the current output value. If the output value is greater than 0, the color of the lamp symbol changes from gray to yellow.

If you click the Parameters button, an overview page with all parameters of the selected virtual DALI control gear opens.

Operation of the parameter interface

The current parameters from the virtual DALI control gear are displayed here. It is also possible to modify them and thus change the behavior of the virtual DALI control gear.

For more information on the parameters used, see chapter Variables.
