Domino

DFDALI

Mapping

DFDALI   module   is   shown   into   the  map   of   DCP   IDE   or 
BDTools like in the following figure. As for all 

Domino

 mod-

ules, the background of the module will be in green color if 
the module is connected and properly working, otherwise 
the background will be in red color.

The portion on the left side is related to the input section 
and it reports the diagnostic information and the brightness 
level   of   ballast   1   (text   box   on   the  bottom);   if   the  option 
“Regulation status” has been checked in the configuration 
panel, then this text box reports the automatic regulation 
status of the 8 zones (in decimal format to be interpreted in 
binary mode). 
The portion on the right side is related to the output section 
and it features two text boxes for entering the destination 
and command values.

Setting up

DCP IDE and BDTools allow to set the operating paramet-
ers of the DALI line during the system setting up and to 
perform some diagnostic functions. DFDALI module can be 
adapted  to any specific application. The setting up is per-
formed   via   the  

Domino

  bus   and   DFCP   (or   DFRS   or 

DFPRO) through a specific configuration panel that can be 
accessed from the menu of DCP IDE or BDTools.
From the menu, select Programming, Modules Configura-
tion and then DFDALI. The window shown in Figure 2 will 
be opened; the main parameters and options can be here 
defined as it will be described in the following of this para-
graph.
Before   to   proceed   with   any   action,   the   communication 
between the PC and, for instance, DFCP has to be opened. 
The top side of the configuration panel reports the section 
for the addresses management.
After having entered the address of the DFDALI to be man-
aged, it is possible to enable the input address of the mod-
ule through the check box named “Input Address” and then 
clicking on the button Program; by the button Read it is in-
stead possible to check the current setting.

It is also possible to activate the “Regulation Status” inform-
ation related to the 8 zones by checking the related option 
and   then   pressing   the   button   Program.   This   option,   of 
course, requires that the input section have been enabled.
Six tabs in the window allow some well defined functions as 
described in the following.
The button ID & Ver. on the lower side allows to read the 
firmware version of the selected DFDALI module.
