DALIPort

The DALIPort component allows to configure communication with the DALI extension over the RS485 port. It provides a dedicated and hidden channel for data exchange between the controller and the DALI extension module.

The DALIPort component has the following slots:

• Status: indicates the current status of the component. If the component works properly, its status is OK; the component's status becomes Disabled if its Enabled slot has been set to false.

  • Available information: Disabled, Fault, Down, OK.

• Info: provides a detailed information about non-OK statuses of the component;

  • Available information:

    • Incorrect placement - must be placed under Interfaces container (status Fault): occurs if the component is added anywhere outside the Interfaces folder under DALI;

    • Incorrect configuration (status Fault): occurs when a parameter is missing or wrongly configured (e.g., port number is wrong);

    • Could not reserve port - already in use (status Fault): occurs if the component’s configuration duplicates parameters of a port which is already in use;

    • Port disabled (status Disabled): the Enabled slot in the component is set to false;

    • Network protocol disabled (status Disabled): the Enabled slot in DALI component is set to false;

    • There is a problem with the network protocol (status Disabled): the DALI component is in a status other than OK or Disabled;

  The Info is a numerical slot, which displays a correlated text information:

• Enabled: change of the slot's value enables or disables the component;

  • Available settings: true (enabled), false (disabled).

Note: If the Enabled slot is in false (meaning the component is disabled), the Status slot becomes Disabled.

Note: By default, the component is enabled.

• Serial Port: allows to select a serial port for DALI communication.
