The DLC-02-KN is a KNX to DALI gateway, designed to connect a digital DALI lighting system to a KNX installation. This device facilitates room-based lighting control by integrating it into a higher-level KNX system building management system. It transforms switch and dim commands from the connected KNX system into DALI telegrams and converts status information from the DALI bus into KNX telegrams.

Usage Features:

Installation and Mounting: The device can be mounted on a DIN rail (TS35/7.5 or TS35/15). Mounting involves tilting the unit slightly rearwards, fitting the unit over the top hat rail, sliding it downward until it hits the stop, pressing against the bottom for locking, and shaking the unit slightly to check the locking action.
Commissioning: The commissioning process involves wiring the DALI segments, connecting the gateway to the KNX bus, connecting all devices with mains, configuring ETS parameters and objects, and finally downloading the ETS application.
DALI Commissioning: This involves physical wiring and electronic commissioning of DALI ECGs. The device supports scanning for connected devices and addressing them. ECGs are automatically recognized and assigned a short address from 0-63. The process allows for searching devices, reinstalling, and downloading configurations.
Group and Scene Editing: Users can assign ECGs to groups and configure scenes. The device supports up to 16 scenes and allows for editing group commands.
Communication Objects: The device supports various communication objects for controlling DALI and KNX functionalities, including:
- DALI A Broadcast Switch: Used to switch all connected lights simultaneously on or off.
- DALI A Broadcast Absolute Dimming: Used to simultaneously set all connected lights to a certain value.
- DALI A Scene Control: Used for calling scenes.
