FB_DALI103SetShortAddress

The function block stores the new short address nNewShortAddress in the DALI control device (see shortAddress).
The existing short address in the DALI control device is deleted if a value of 255 is specified at the input.
To address a device without a known short address, the command must be sent as a broadcast (eAddressType = E_DALIAddressType.Broadcast). This gives all control devices connected to the DALI terminal the short address nNewShortAddress.
Alternatively, the function block can be called with Broadcast unaddressed (eAddressType = E_DALIAddressType.BroadcastUnaddr). In this case, only the devices that do not yet have a short address are assigned a short address.
![]() | The function block changes the DTR0 of all connected DALI control devices. |
![]() | The function block sends the DALI command SET SHORT ADDRESS twice, as required by the DALI standard for certain DALI commands. |
![]() | The function block cannot be used when using the KL6811. |
Inputs
VAR_INPUT
bStart : BOOL;
nAddress : BYTE;
eAddressType : E_DALIAddressType := E_DALIAddressType.Short;
eCommandPriority : E_DALICommandPriority := E_DALICommandPriority.MiddleLow;
nNewShortAddress : BYTE;
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bStart | BOOL | Execution of the DALI commands is triggered via a positive edge at this input. |
nAddress | BYTE | Address of a DALI control gear or a DALI group. |
eAddressType | Defines whether the input nAddress contains a short address (0…63) or a group address (0…31). The input nAddress has no meaning if a broadcast or a broadcast to unaddressed devices (BroadcastUnaddr) has been selected. | |
eCommandPriority | Priority (low, middle low, middle, middle high, high) with which the DALI commands are sent. |
![]() | The command priorities are supported by the KL6821 from the firmware version BD. |
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
nNewShortAddress | BYTE | New short address (0…63, 255) |
Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
bError : BOOL;
ipResultMessage : I_TcMessage;
bBusy : BOOL;
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. |
Properties
Name | Type | Access | Initial value | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
ipDALICommunication | I_DALICommunication | Get,Set | 0 | Interface Pointer to the communication block (see Transfer of the reference to the communication block). |
