Gira KNX DALI gateway Plus

Flexible lighting control via the Gira KNX system

The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus is the in­ter­face between the KNX in­stall­a­tion in the build­ing and a di­gital DALI light­ing sys­tem. It thus net­works two of the most im­port­ant stand­ards for build­ing con­trol. As a di­gital al­tern­at­ive to the usual 1-10 V tech­no­logy, the device, with its many in­tel­li­gent func­tions, of­fers the same con­veni­ence as com­plex bus sys­tems – and yet is much easier and less ex­pens­ive to in­stall. For ex­ample a nor­mal 5-​wire NYM cable, which is often already present in the ex­ist­ing elec­trical in­stall­a­tion, can be used both for the power sup­ply and the bus wir­ing. What’s more, far fewer con­trol com­pon­ents are needed than in a con­ven­tional 1–10 V sys­tem: The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus en­ables ex­tremely flex­ible ad­dress­ing so that the con­nec­ted devices can be con­trolled either in­di­vidu­ally or as part of one or more groups. In total, it is pos­sible to switch on/off or dim a max­imum of 64 lights in up to 32 groups. Groups are as­signed in­de­pend­ently of their wir­ing, mean­ing that they can be changed at any time.

Com­pared with its pre­de­cessor, the Gira KNX DALI gate­way, the Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus of­fers en­hanced func­tion­al­ity, which al­lows a great deal of free­dom in design­ing in­di­vidual light­ing con­cepts. A large vari­ety of dy­namic se­quences and light ef­fects can be saved and called up. And room-​based light­ing con­trol can be in­teg­rated into KNX build­ing man­age­ment – for open-​plan of­fices, pro­duc­tion halls, con­fer­ence rooms, dis­play win­dows, and many other scen­arios. The device also boasts an ex­pan­ded scene con­trol func­tion – lights and light groups can be in­teg­rated into up to 16 light scenes. Up to 16 ef­fects, each with 16 ef­fect steps, per­mits even more flex­ib­il­ity: These ef­fects en­able ex­tremely com­plex dy­namic light­ing moods to be cre­ated. The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus ad­di­tion­ally has a DIN 18015-​2-compliant stair­case and cor­ridor func­tion, and can also be in­teg­rated into a DALI emer­gency light sys­tem. The DALI devices can be con­figured either on­line or off­line via the ETS plug-​in.

Application example

Flexible addressing

Up to six dif­fer­ent ad­dress­ing types en­able in­di­vidual devices and groups to be con­trolled, which is the basis for com­plex in­di­vidual light scenes and ef­fects. Fur­ther­more, in­di­vidual devices from sev­eral groups can also be as­signed as part of the group as­sign­ment. Cent­ral con­trol (broad­cast­ing) is also an op­tion. In this case, the DALI start-​up is omit­ted: Mean­ing that light­ing sys­tems with low func­tional re­quire­ments can be quickly and eas­ily put into op­er­a­tion.

Configuration regardless of wiring

The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus of­fers the op­tion of as­sign­ing light groups re­gard­less of the wir­ing. In con­trast to 1–10 V sys­tems, there is no need to modify the wir­ing when group as­sign­ments need to be changed. This means that all the cables can already be laid in a new build even if the exact room lay­out is still to be de­term­ined. If a room lay­out is changed at a later time, the light groups will only have to be re­con­figured in the sys­tem. The light­ing can there­fore adapt to the chan­ging needs of oc­cu­pants.

Versatile application

A DALI sys­tem with the Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus is a good choice any­where com­plex room-​based light­ing con­trol should be op­er­ated in an energy-​efficient man­ner with low main­ten­ance costs: in open-​plan of­fices, multi-​purpose rooms, pro­duc­tion halls, train­ing and lec­ture rooms, or dis­play win­dows, as well as in private homes. In order to pre­vent standby losses, the mains voltage of the DALI devices can be switched off using an ad­di­tional KNX switch­ing ac­tu­ator.

Designing individual light scenes

The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus can save in­form­a­tion for vari­ous light scenes. Pre-​programmed light­ing moods in which many dif­fer­ent lights in­ter­act to cre­ate an over­all im­pres­sion can be called up via the KNX sys­tem at the touch of a fin­ger. With the Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus, lights or light groups can be in­teg­rated into up to 16 scenes. Ef­fects can also be com­pon­ents of light scenes, which en­ables dy­namic as well as static light­ing moods to be cre­ated.

Numerous effects for dynamic lighting moods

Whatever mood you’re after, whether the light should vary over the course of the day or en­hance the at­mo­sphere of the room as a chan­ging design ele­ment, the Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus with its 16 save­able ef­fects – each with 16 ef­fect steps – will help you achieve it. Each ef­fect step rep­res­ents a sep­ar­ate light­ing mood. The steps in their en­tirety are dy­namic thanks to time-​controlled switch­ing. In­di­vidual devices, groups, or even com­plete light scenes can be con­trolled. The ef­fect can be set to run from 1 to 500 times or to re­peat it­self in­def­in­itely – en­tirely as de­sired.

Integrated elapsed operating time meter

To en­sure that main­ten­ance in­ter­vals are ad­hered to, an elapsed op­er­at­ing time meter that can count for­wards and back­wards is in­teg­rated, e.g. for each light: When a cer­tain meter read­ing is reached, main­ten­ance staff are auto­mat­ic­ally no­ti­fied via the KNX sys­tem and can thus carry out the main­ten­ance on time.

Staircase and corridor function for more energy efficiency and security

The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus fea­tures a stair­case func­tion that can be para­met­rised sep­ar­ately to im­ple­ment time-​controlled light­ing of a stair­case or sim­ilar ap­plic­a­tions. This can be ex­pan­ded to in­clude a DIN 18015-​2-compliant ad­vance warn­ing func­tion, which warns any­one linger­ing on the stair­case that the light will soon be switched off. In com­bin­a­tion with mo­tion de­tect­ors, the cor­ridor func­tion al­lows the light­ing level to be lowered when no mo­tion is de­tec­ted. This en­sures in­creased se­cur­ity and pre­vents un­ne­ces­sary power con­sump­tion.

Integration into locally and centrally-supplied emergency lighting systems

The Gira KNX DALI gate­way Plus is able to in­teg­rate DALI stand­ard con­trol devices as emer­gency lights in centrally-​powered emer­gency light­ing sys­tems in ac­cord­ance with IEC 62386-​101 (DALI sys­tem) and IEC 62386-​102 (con­trol gear). Al­tern­at­ively or ad­di­tion­ally, it al­lows the con­trol of single battery-​operated emer­gency light­ing con­trol devices in ac­cord­ance with IEC 62386-​202. To sim­plify main­ten­ance, vari­ous tests and quer­ies can be per­formed auto­mat­ic­ally via the KNX sys­tem in locally-​supplied emer­gency light­ing sys­tems. In emer­gency light­ing sys­tems that are sup­plied cent­rally, there is an op­tion to sup­ply the KNX sys­tem and DALI gate­way Plus from the cent­ral safety power sup­ply, in ad­di­tion to the emer­gency lights. In this way, the func­tion­al­ity of the en­tire sys­tem can be main­tained dur­ing emer­gency op­er­a­tion. Func­tion tests can be per­formed auto­mat­ic­ally at any time via the KNX sys­tem.

Installation

Mount­ing on a top-​hat rail in ac­cord­ance with DIN EN 60715.

Start-up

The DALI devices can be con­figured either on­line or off­line via the ETS plug-​in. For off­line con­fig­ur­a­tion, the sys­tem can be pro­grammed in ad­vance and then only has to be trans­ferred for start-​up on site. If ne­ces­sary, a single light can be re­placed dur­ing on­go­ing op­er­a­tion: The new light auto­mat­ic­ally as­sumes the po­s­i­tion of the re­placed light in the sys­tem.
