Configuring DALI ballasts with the TDS13621 interface
- Open a project (.nbt file) where a TDS13621 interface is configured for DALI
- Select “DALISOFT” at the left
- Under 'Devices' select the correct TDS interface.
- Click 'Search and discover DALI devices'
Configuring DALI ballasts with the TDS20620V2 DALI Tool
Connect the TDS20620V2
- Connect the TDS20620V2 DALI configuration tool with the mains, DALI-bus and you PC
Start DALISOFT
- Start PROSOFT and just select ‘New MICROS+’. Addressing DALI ballasts will not make any changes on the .nbt project file. So this can be done independently from the TELETASK project configuration.
- Select “DALISOFT” at the left
Search DALI devices
At the top right corner there will be a list of DALI devices capable of configuring the DALI drivers (ballasts).
Configuring DALI ballasts
You have two possibilities to start the DALI addressing configuration:
- “Search and discover DALI devices”
- select this to find all devices on the DALI bus without changing their address. Any DALI devices that are not yet initialised will get a free address. When the search is finished, the number of devices in the list should match the number of the physical devices on the DALI bus.
- “Initialise DALI devices”
- select this option to give all DALI ballasts a new address.
Check DALI Addressing
When the list is generated, you can scroll through the list with the mouse or with the arrows of your keyboard. Each time a device is highlighted the corresponding (DALI) light is switched to ON and the previous is switched to OFF. So it’s easy to see which address is allocated to which device.
Change DALI Address
If it’s necessary to readdress one or more devices, simply click in the list on the device you want to change. Fill in the new address for that device and press “Change”.
If another address was already on this new address, the other device will get the old address.
Finish
Addressing DALI ballasts will not make any changes on the .nbt project file. You can simply close PROSOFT after the configuration.
