ABB i-bus KNXGeneral4 2CDC 507 100 D0202 | DLR/S 8.16.1M1.1 Using the product manualThis manual provides detailed technical information relating to the function, installation and programmingof the ABB i-bus® KNX DALI Light Controller DLR/S 8.16.1M and the corresponding Light Sensor LF/U 2.1.The use of the DLR/S is explained using examples.This manual is divided into the following chapters: Chapter 1 General Chapter 2 Device technology Chapter 3 Start-up Chapter 4 Planning and application Chapter A Appendix1.1.1 Structure of the product manualIn this manual, you will find all the descriptions of the parameters and communication objects as well asapplication examples.For the actual configuration of the DALI system, you will require the Software Tool. This Software Tool isdesigned exclusively for working with ABB i-bus® KNX devices. A description can be found in the onlinehelp of the Tool.1.1.1.1 Software ToolA Software Tool is available for DALI commissioning (changing DALI short addresses and DALI groupassignment).This Software Tool can be downloaded free of charge from our website (www.abb.com/knx).Other test and analysis functions are also available, depending on the gateway version.In addition, the Software Tool can be used for simplified setting of the control parameters for constant lightcontrol in the DALI Light Controller. No ETS is required for the Software Tool. However, Falcon Runtime(version 1.6 or higher and version 1.8 or higher for Windows 7) must be installed to set up a connectionbetween the PC and KNX.NoteWhen the Software Tool is connected to the DALI Light Controller, the function of the DALI devices is, atfirst, not influenced. Only when you switch to the configuration mode are the functions, such asStaircase lighting, Slave and Control, deactivated.The Block and Forced operation functions are by-passed, meaning that the DALI devices can beidentified clearly for commissioning. However, the Block and Forced operation functions remain in thebackground and are reactivated on exiting the Software Tool. Nonetheless, the brightness value set inthe Software Tool remains intact if Forced operation or Block is present. During the connection to theSoftware Tool, incoming KNX telegrams are executed. This also applies to the Staircase lighting, Slaveand Control functions. The functions are deactivated again when the Software Tool is exited or whenthe DALI device is selected again in the Software Tool.
