myTEM SmartHome MTDAL-100 DALI Module Instruction Manual

myTEM SmartHome MTDAL-100 DALI Module

The MTDAL-100 is a DALI module from myTEM which enables you to expand your smart home system with a controller for intelligent DALI lighting projects. Up to 64 DALI products can be controlled via the DALI bus. The DALI module is connected to the CAN bus from the myTEM Smart Server and with the help of the extremely powerful myTEM ProgTool it is easy to integrate the DALI lighting products.

What is DALI?

The Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is an interface definition in building automation for the transmission of control signals for lighting equipment. For this purpose, the ballasts are wired in parallel and linked together via the controller. Up to 64 operating devices can be individually addressed and freely divided into 16 light groups and 16 light scenes. In addition to the switching of the lighting devices, the status and individual parameters (dimming values, etc.) can also be queried.

Product description

The MTDAL-100 is a DALI module from myTEM which enables you to expand your smart home system with a controller for intelligent DALI lighting products. Up to 64, DALI products can be controlled via the DALI bus. The myTEM DALI module must be powered by a 24 VDC power supply and connected to a myTEM Smart Server via the CAN bus. The device is installed in a control cabi-net, mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail.

Installation

WARNING! Depending on national safety standards, only authorized and/or trained technicians may be allowed to make electrical installations on the power supply. Please inform yourself about the legal situation before installation.

CAUTION! The DALI bus requires an external DALI power supply for correct operation. The DALI power supply is separately available.

Please install the device according to the following steps:

1. WARNING! Make sure that the devices are disconnected from the power supply.
2. Connect the myTEM DALI Modul according to the diagram above or at the back. In order to use the device, a connection via CAN bus to a myTEM Smart Server, a 24 VDC power supply, and an external DALI power supply is required.
3. CAUTION! The device shall only be operated with stabilized power supplies (24 VDC). Connecting higher voltages will damage the device.
4. The last device on the CAN bus requires the terminating resistor of 120 enclosed with the myTEM Smart Server via terminals (CAN +/–).
5. Turn on the power.
6. With the myTEM ProgTool you can now add the myTEM DALI module to your myTEM Smart Server

Notes on DALI wiring

The DALI module has been developed according to the standards IEC/EN 62386-101 and IEC/EN 62386-103. This results in the following notes:

• The bus wiring should be connected in a star topology, a linear topology or a mixture of both. The wiring shall not be done in a ring structure.
• The two leads which serve as the bus shall be located in the same cable or cable conduit. The two leads shall be next to each other in order to prevent unintended coupling to other signals.
• The maximum voltage drop between transmitter and receiver must not exceed 2.0 V.
• The maximum cable length is 300 m with a cross-section of 1.5 mm².

LED display

The LED next to the DALI connector may show the following states:

• LED green: Device started and connection to the myTEM Smart Server or myTEM Radio Server working
• LED red: Device started but no connection with the myTEM Smart Server or myTEM Radio Server
• LED off: Device not powered, not started, or broken

Quick troubleshooting

The following hints may help solve trouble

1. Make sure that the power supply is connected with the correct polarity. With wrong polarity, the device does not start.
2. If a device cannot establish communication to the myTEM Smart Server or myTEM Radio Server, check if the CAN bus (+/–) is correctly wired and the ground (GND) is connected. A missing ground connection (usually available via power supply) can affect communication.
3. If a device cannot establish communication to the myTEM Smart Server or myTEM Radio Server, check whether the terminating resistor of 120 at the last device is connected to the CAN bus. If missing, please add it via terminals (CAN +/–).
