A.1.9
Exchange of DALI
equipment
The DGS11 Software Tool may also be used if more than 2 ballasts have
failed in one of the two DALI channels on the DG/S 1.1. If only one ballast
has failed and the DALI addresses are assigned without any gaps (normally
the case with DG/S 1.1), a ballast without a DALI address (default state) can
be exchanged without commissioning. The new DALI device automatically
receives the free DALI address of the defective ballast from the DG/S 1.1.
If multiple DALI devices on a channel fail, or there are gaps in the address
assignment, it is not possible to guarantee a unique assignment of the
replacement device by the DG/S 1.1. The DG/S 1.1 assigns the new DALI
devices the first free DALI address. If the new DALI device already has a
DALI address which is being used in the DALI-Gateway, one of the two
devices will be assigned a new unused DALI address. In this case, the error-
free DALI device which is already connected to the gateway may also
receive a new address. A correction or exchange of the address can be
implemented with the DGS11 Software Tool.
