Description

Description
This document describes the configuration of a DALI lighting system via the visualization of WAGO-I/O-PRO CAA. The parameters of the DALI lighting system (e.g. group assignment, scene configurations...) are preset using special ready-made input masks and transmitted to the electronic ballasts via the DALI master module 750-641.

Programming the WAGO Fieldbus Controller

In the main program (PLC_PRG) of the WAGO fieldbus controller, only the FbDALI_Joblist module and the DALI_Config program need to be activated and parametrized. The program module DALI_Config controls the data exchange with the visualization described in chapter 4.

4.4 Description of Configuration Interfaces

4.4.1 Start Page
The DALI line to be configured can be selected from the Front page DALI. Each DALI line is controlle via a DALI master module 750-641. DALI lines to which no joblist has been assigned yet are shown in red in the visualization. All other DALI lines are shown in green. Navigating on the different DALI configuration interfaces is done via the selection menu from the front page The "Search short address" button is used to read out all short addresses that are identified by the DALI master module. The short addresses are stored in the module's internal memory.
Attention Once the DALI bus line is connected, it takes some minutes for the DALI master module until the short addresses available can be read from the memory.

4.4.2 Addressing
Allocating short addresses can be controlled via the Addressing page. Furthermore, the parameters set in the DALI electronic ballast (e.g. group assignment, scene values...) can be reset back to factory setting..

Figure 6: Addressing visualization

Before addressing can be performed, all DALI devices are set back to factory setting when the "Factory setting" field is activated. During addressing, the lighting is not switched on when "Light level unchanged" is activated. New addressing: Pressing this button for more than two seconds will initiate new addressing of the connected DALI devices. No other buttons can be used during new addressing. System extension: Pressing this button only the DALI devices are addressed that have no short address yet. Factory setting: Pressing this button for more than two seconds will reset all connected DALI devices back to factory setting (see table in section 5.2). Delete address: The selected short address is deleted by pressing this button.

4.4.3 Address Assignment

Changing and finding short addresses can be done using the Sort short addresses page.

Figure 7: Visualization for changing short addresses

Blink: To find a short address, a blink command can be sent to the DALI devices. This short address will be shown in red. Then press the Blink button to find the short address. The blink time can be set using "Blink time" parameters. A blinking sequence can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop blinking button. Central On / Central Off: Pressing these buttons, the whole DALI line lighting can be switched on and off via a broadcast command. Change: Addressing the DALI devices is done in a random order. To sort the addresses in a logical sequence, it is required and helpful to change the addresses. The short addresses can be simply marked by means of the visualization. Both old (red) and new (green) short addresses are marked via mouse click. The short addresses can then be changed by pressing the Change button.
Note The most effective way of sorting short addresses is by setting all short addresses available on the upper range of addresses. Then the sorting procedure can be started.

4.4.4 ECG Settings

The configuration parameters of the electronic ballasts can be read or written via the "Electronic ballast settings page. The values can be written for individual short addresses or groups. Only the short addresses can be read.

Switch over between short address and group address

Figure 8: Settings of the electronic ballasts

Min level: This value defines the lower limit of the dimming range. Max level: This value defines the upper limit of the dimming range. System failure level: This parameter defines the dimming value when a system failure occurs (e.g. bus short-circuit). Power on level: Switch-on lighting level when the mains power is restored. Fade time: The fade time defines the fade speed at an absolute dimming level. The dimming speed can be read off from the table shown in section 5.1 in relation to that parameter. Fade rate: The values of this parameter range from 1 to 15. This parameter determines the dimming speed at a relative dimming level. The dimming speed can be read off from the table shown in section 5.1 in relation to that parameter.

4.4.5 Group Assignment

Assigning short addresses to the group numbers is done in the Group assignment visualization.

Figure 9: Group configuration

The short addresses available in the DALI line are shown in blue. Assigning the short addresses to the groups is done by clicking on the buttons. Members of the group are shown in green. Read group: Reading group assignments Write group: The group assignments are written into the memory of the DALI devices. Blink: Group assignments available are shown in green. A blinking sequence can be activated for the members of group by pressing the Blink button. The blink time can be parameterized. A blinking sequence can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop blinking button. Central On / Central Off: Pressing these buttons, the whole DALI line lighting can be switched on and off via a broadcast command.

4.4.6 Scene Configuration

The configuration interface Scene configuration is used to define DALI light scenes.

Figure 10: Scene configuration

All short addresses available in the DALI line are shown in blue. The scene values can be parameterized for each individual short addresses. The default value is "101". This value means that no change occurs when calling the scene. As a result, the short address is removed from the scene assignment. Read scene: The scene configuration is read for the selected scene number. Save scene: The scene configuration is saved in the electronic ballasts for the selected scene number.

4.4.7 Group Scene Configuration

The group-scene configuration makes the scene configuration easier, if every DALI device in the group will get the same scene value.

Figure 11: Scene configuration with group commands.

Save scene: If you press the button "Save scene, every ballast of the selected group saves the scene value in the selected scene.

4.4.8 Lamp Status

The status of the electronic ballasts can be queried using the Query ECG status visualization.

Figure 12: Status query

Clicking on the Query status button will send a status query to the electronic ballasts, which will be shown on the display. The upper part of the display shows which lamps are on. The lamps that are on are shown in green. Lamp failures are shown in red in the lower part of the display.
