FB_DALI103Addressing

This function block addresses the DALI control devices at random. The user has no influence on which control device is assigned which short address. Short addresses are allocated in ascending order.
Applying a positive edge to the bStart input starts the function block, and the bBusy output goes TRUE. The terminal now addresses all DALI control devices independently. Once all DALI control devices have been addressed, the bBusy output goes back to FALSE. The output variable nAddressedDevices provides information on how many DALI control devices were assigned a short address. Depending on how many DALI control devices are connected, processing of this function block can take several minutes.
![]() | The function block cannot be used when using the KL6811. |
Inputs
VAR_INPUT
bStart : BOOL;
nStartWithShortAddress : BYTE := 0;
nOptions : DWORD := Tc3_DALI.GVL.cOpticalFeedback;
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bStart | BOOL | Execution of the DALI commands is triggered via a positive edge at this input. |
nStartWithShortAddress | BYTE | Short address assigned to the first DALI control device (0…63). |
nOptions | DWORD | Options for addressing the DALI control devices (see table below). The individual constants must be linked with OR operators. |
Constant | Description |
---|---|
Tc3_DALI.GVL.cCompleteNewInstallation | All DALI control devices are readdressed, even those that already have a short address. |
Tc3_DALI.GVL.cOpticalFeedback | Newly addressed DALI control devices are allocated the DALI command IDENTIFY DEVICE once the short address has been assigned. |
Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
bError : BOOL;
ipResultMessage : I_TcMessage;
bBusy : BOOL;
nAddressedDevices : BYTE;
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bError | BOOL | This output is switched to TRUE if an error occurs during the execution. Further information about the error can be queried via the variable ipResultMessage. The output is set to FALSE again as soon as bBusy switches to TRUE. |
ipResultMessage | I_TcMessage | Interface pointer (see error evaluation) that can be used to obtain detailed information about the processing of the function block (see runtime messages). The interface pointer is valid after bBusy has changed from TRUE to FALSE. |
bBusy | BOOL | The output is set as soon as execution of the DALI commands has commenced. It remains active until all DALI commands have been processed. |
nAddressedDevices | BYTE | If addressing has been completed (bBusy is FALSE), then the number of addressed DALI control devices is shown at this output. |
Properties
