eutonomy euLINK DALI Port Peripheral Bus Interface Instruction Manual

The euLINK DALI port is a peripheral module for euLINK and for euLINK Lite gateways that connects them to the DALI bus to issue commands to lighting fixtures and read their status. The euLINK gateway equipped with a DALI port works as a Master IEC62386 type II. Up to 4 DALI ports, up to 4 independent buses, can be connected to one euLINK gateway. The recommended number of DALI ports for the simpler euLINK Lite gateway is 2. The euLINK DALI port does not contain a bus power supply, so an external DALI bus power supply must be connected.

Application of the euLINK DALI Port

The task of the euLINK gate with a DALI port is to create a bridge between the DALI luminaires and the smart home controller (e.g. FIBARO Home Center). Before connecting the euLINK DALI port, the lighting system must be commissioned and tested. This also includes addressing luminaires, assigning them to groups and defining DALI scenes. The installer then physically connects the euLINK gateway via the DALI port to the bus. After checking the connectivity with the lighting fixtures, the euLINK gateway brings their uniform re-presentation to the smart home controller configuration, enabling two-way communication between the controller and DALI luminaires.

| Please read the instructions carefully prior to installation. The instructions contain important guidelines which, when ignored, can lead to danger to life or health. The manufacturer of the equipment shall not be responsible for any damage resulting from the use of the product in a manner non-compliant

with the operating instructions.

Place of installation of the euLINK DALI

The euLINK Gateway and DALI Port can be installed in any power distribution board equipped with a DIN TH35 rail. If possible, it is recommended to select a location in the distribution board with even the slightest air flow through the ventilation openings in the enclosure, since even simple cooling slows down the processes of ageing of electronic components, ensuring trouble-free operation for many years.
It is recommended to find the optimal installation location for the euLINK DALI Port on the DIN rail before engaging the lower rail holder, as moving the module will be much more difficult when it is secured. The DALI port is connected to the euLINK gateway using a 10 wire ribbon cable with Micro-MaTch connectors supplied with the module. The ribbon length does not exceed 25 cm, so the peripheral module must be located in the immediate vicinity of the gateway (on either side).

Connecting the euLINK DALI Port to the bus

Physical connection of the euLINK DALI Port to each bus requires compliance with its topology, addressing and other specific parameters (e.g. bus supply).
For the DALI bus, the installer has to:

• Provide bus power using a specialized power supply (16V, 250mA)
• Give DALI fixtures unique addresses from 0 to 63
• Assign luminaires to groups and DALI scenes
• Make sure that the bus length does not exceed 300 m (with a cable cross-section of 1.5 mm2)
• Check the operation of all luminaires and controls (e.g. motion detectors, button converters, etc.)

When connecting the DALI bus wires to the DA-DA terminals, you do not need to pay attention to their sequence, because the DALI devices are not sensitive to signal polarity. It also does not matter to which of the 2 I2C sockets the tape to the gate will be connected.

| NOTE!

The installed device can be connected to the power mains only by a person qualified to carry out electrical works, holding licenses issued in accordance with the regulations.

---|---
| Before commencing any installation works, please make sure that the mains power supply is disconnected at the distribution board by means of an over- current circuit breaker dedicated for the equipment.
| If there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the equipment is damaged and cannot be operated safely, do not connect it to the power mains and protect it against accidental powering.

The DALI buses are galvanically separated from the euLINK gateway and from its power supply.
If the bus is too long or the number of luminaires exceeds 64, you can divide the bus into several smaller segments. Up to 4 DALI ports can be connected to the euLINK gateway simultaneously. In the case of the euLINK Lite model, there should be no more than 2 DALI ports. The method of cascading DALI ports is illustrated in the diagram below:

Each DALI port must have a unique I2C address set for the euLINK gateway to distinguish between them. Address setting is done by moving 2 sliders on the DIP switch, visible at the top of the DALI port board. Right next to the DIP switch is a multi-coloured LED that indicates the set address. The following 4 I2C addresses are possible:

DALI ports with the same address cannot be connected to one euLINK gateway, so each LED in the port cascade should glow in a different colour. The state of the DIP switch is read only once when powered up. So it is best to set the I2C addresses before turning on the power so that the change is noticed. There are two more diagnostic LEDs on the DALI port board: the red Tx, which flashes when transmitting, and the blue one, which is lit continuously as long as the DALI port is connected to a properly powered DALI bus. In addition, the blue Rx LED briefly dims when receiving data from the DALI bus.

Basic configuration of the euLINK DALI Port

It is worth starting the construction of the system by creating several sections in the euLINK gateway configuration in the “Rooms” menu (e.g. Ground floor, First floor, Garden) and individual rooms (e.g. Living room, Kitchen, Garage) in each section. It is best to get a list of sections and rooms from your smart home controller if you have already configured access to it.
Then, in the “Configuration” -> “Hardware interfaces” menu, add new or modify the existing DALI buses by selecting their I2C addresses from the list of recognized DALI ports. It is worth giving each bus a friendly name related to the location of the bus. Then, in the “Devices” -> “Add DALI devices” menu, select the bus that will be scanned for DALI luminaires. Perhaps a new scan will not be needed because the euLINK gateway scans the buses automatically after adding them and after restarting. If, however, new luminaires have been added to the DALI installation in the meantime, a scan of the relevant bus must be started. During normal operation, several control devices can be connected to one DALI bus, but only one of them at a time can perform a bus scan to avoid scanning errors.
DALI luminaire or group of luminaires found using the “On” and “Off” buttons. For selected luminaires or their groups, check the “Add this device” field, give it a friendly name, assign it to a room and save the result. Similarly, you can create and assign a scene controller to a selected room.
After you have finished adding DALI luminaires, you can return to the main “Home” menu and check the operation of each of them by clicking on the corresponding icons. If the diagnostics was successful, you can enter the configuration of each luminaire and import it to the Home Center controller using the “Create controller device” button. Within a few seconds in the Home Center controller a driver will be created with the buttons “On”, “Off” and “Toggle”, as well as with a slider to adjust the brightness, if the luminaire has been marked as dimmable. Necessary icons and global variables for use in scenes will also be brought in. After refreshing the application on smartphones and computers, the control of DALI luminaires should work.

Installation schematic diagram

The installer’s computer with the DALI programmer visible in the diagram should be used to address and group DALI luminaires and to carefully check the entire installation before integration with the euLINK gateway. If the DALI installation does not work properly, the integration will not improve this condition, and it is very possible that it will worsen it.
