Project design and programming
The project design and programming of the DALI-Gateway DG/S 8.1 are
described in this section.
Once the application “Dim Slave Lightscenes Dynamic 8f/1.1” has been
imported in ETS, the communication objects described in this section are
available, depending on the parameter setting. The channel-related objects
are available immediately for each DALI output with its connected DALI
devices. No addressing or commissioning of the DALI devices is required.
The parameters can be modified directly and the objects can be assigned
to any KNX groups.
Many communication objects are dynamic and are only visible if the corres-
ponding parameters are activated in the application software. These
communication objects are not visible when starting the project design
of the DALI Gateway.

The application program
“Dim Slave Lightscenes Dynamic 8f/1.1”
controls
all the functions of the DALI Gateway. The programming and parameteri-
sation is carried out via the Engineering Tool Software ETS2 V1.3 or higher.
When using ETS3, a file of type “.VD3” must be imported.
