1. General The masterCONFIGURATOR software tool is intended for configuring and setting the parameters for various TridonicAtco DALI units. It can also be used for addressing and grouping TridonicAtco DALI units and for setting scenes. The installation package comprises the following three components:

• masterCONFIGURATOR • DALI Monitor • DALI BusServer

masterCONFIGURATOR Configuration and parametrisation program. This program is used to set up a DALI circuit and configure individual units (e.g. settings for the DALI MSensor). This document provides detailed information about this program. DALI Monitor (V2.5.0) DALI Monitor is used for monitoring the DALI control circuit. DALI Monitor records the commands on the bus and enables the DALI installation to be checked for correct operation. There are two ways in which it can be opened, either via Start⇒Programs⇒DALITools⇒DALIMonitor or via the context menu of DALI BusServer

DALI BusServer (V2.5.9) DALI BusServer manages the interface to the DALI bus. The server is designed so that multiple Windows applications can access this bus interface. This allows masterCONFIGURATOR and DALI Monitor to be opened simultaneously so that bus commands can be recorded online. BusServer is automatically opened when masterCONFIGURATOR or DALI Monitor is opened. Note: configTOOL operates with DALI BusServer (V2.3.4) so it is not possible to have configTOOL and masterCONFIGURATOR open at the same time. As soon as DALI BusServer is running it can be accessed via the Windows task bar and can be opened by double-click on the icon.


When a DALI USB is opened by the DALI-BusServer the firmware version is checked and an automatic update of the DALI USB is started if the version number does not match. This update normally takes about 10 to15 seconds to complete. In rare cases the update could fail and leave the DALI USB in boot-loader mode. In boot-loader mode the LED's on the DALI USB are switched OFF after you connect it to the USB, in normal mode one of the two LED's is constantly ON, the other indicates DALI bus activity.

In case the DALI-BusServer (V2.5.9 or higher – masterCONFIGURATOR V1.16 or higher) detects a DALI USB in boot-loader mode it displays the "DALI USB Firmware Update" button. By clicking on this button you may force an update manually.

After the update the DALI-BusServer will be automatically closed. Now the DALI USB can be used with the depending software-tool (configTOOL, MasterCONFIGURTOR, …) System requirements In order for the masterCONFIGURATOR to operate at its optimum the following requirements must be met: PC / Laptop Standard Operating System MS Windows 2000 / MS Windows XP SP2 / MS Windows Vista1 Screen Resolution Minimum XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) Communication USB-Connection & DALI USB

1 „MS Windows Vista“ compatibility only with DALI USB with firmware version 1.4 or higher

(production date: August 2008). Manual to update the DALI USB firmware can be found in the download area of the software-tools on www.tridonicatco.com


2. Program overview Once the software has been installed, masterCONFIGURATOR can be found on the following path: Start menu⇒Programs⇒DALITools⇒masterCONFIGURATOR When the program is opened its main window will appear. All the parametrisation and configuration options are controlled from this program window. Some options open further windows.

3. Working with masterCONFIGURATOR 3.1 Selecting the DALI bus interface

DALI USB is used as the interface to the DALI bus. If the DALI USB is already connected to the PC it is automatically detected and selected for communication. If the DALI USB is not automatically detected, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the USB cable to the DALI-USB and to the PC on which the masterCONFIGURATOR software has been installed.

2. Click on one of the highlighted areas

The following window will appear:

3. Select [USB]

4. Confirm with OK.

When you have selected the DALI USB the DALI BusServer will be automatically launched and the connection to the DALI circuit will be established. NOTE: You need the DALI USB as the interface to the DALI control line. If you use DALI SCI

(RS 232) full functionality cannot be guaranteed. If a DALI USB is detected the software version of t he DALI USB will be checked. If this version is older than the one supplied in masterCON FIGURATOR it will be automatically updated. The update takes about one m inute.


3.2 Searching the DALI bus for devices

3.2.1 Searching for devices with a DALI short addre ss There are two ways of searching for new devices on the DALI bus.

• System expansion A search is carried out for devices that have already been addressed and devices that have not yet been addressed (i.e. devices that have been added). The devices that have already been addressed remain unchanged, and the new devices found are assigned to the next free DALI short addresses. IMPORTANT: If the system is being expanded the new devices that are added to the

system must not already have a DALI short address o therwise there may be problems with duplicated addresses.

• Complete new installation

In this case all the devices on the bus are reset to their factory defaults (DALI Reset) and all the DALI short addresses in the devices are deleted. The devices are then assigned new addresses.

1. Start the Addressing Wizard

2. Select either “System expansion” or “Complete new installation”

Press “Next” to start the addressing process


The devices found are then listed. In brackets after the devices are the DALI addresses that have been assigned to them (e.g. A1=address 1, eA1= eDALI address= 1):

At the end of the addressing cycle press the “Finish” button. This transfers the devices found to the masterCONFIGURATOR. You can press the “Extended” button to set extended addressing options.

• Physical Selection Luminaire: For physical selection of luminaires the light sources of the devices connected to the bus must be removed from their holders and replaced again to address the device.

• Physical Selection Controls:

See chapter 3.2.2 “Searching for manual control devices”

• Invisible addressing: The “invisible” option specifies whether addressing is to be with or without visual feedback. The invisible method is recommended if the building is already in use and the system is merely being expanded to incorporate recently connected luminaires.


3.2.2 Searching for manual control devices For setting the parameters of the manual control devices (DALI MC or DALI TOUCHPANEL) with the masterCONFIGURATOR these devices have to be addressed. Unlike DALI-ballasts the DALI MC and the DALI TOUCHPANEL get an extended address (eA) in the addressing cycle. Later the manual control devices will appear under these extended addresses in the DALI bus overview of the masterCONFIGURATOR and can then be parameterised. NOTE: The e-address area does not reduce the DALI a ddress area of the DALI units (ECGs,

transformers, etc.). If a manual control device is connected to the DALI circuit, all 64 DALI short addresses are still available for the ballast s.

Please not that the manual control devices have to be addressed with the function “physical selection addressing method for control devices”. Therefore the “addressing wizard” has to be started as per description in chapter 3.2.1. In the extended settings of the “addressing wizard” window the function “physical selection addressing method for control devise” must be selected. Press “Next” to start the addressing cycle. The system now searches the DALI circuit for DALI units. The search starts with the DALI ballasts, followed by other types of DALI units, and then the manual control devices (e.g. DALI MC, DALI Touchpanel). For addressing the manual input devices the masterCONFIGURATOR asks the user to press a button on the manual input device. Here the DALI MC and the DALI TOUCHPANEL are different: • DALI MC:

Pressing the button twice (double-clicking) on the DALI MC causes the input to be detected and an e-address to be assigned to it. Repeat this process until e-addresses have been assigned to all the four inputs of the DALI MC.

• DALI TOUCHPANEL:

Pressing any button once on the DALI TOUCHPANEL causes the device to be detected and an e-address to be assigned to it.

The e-addresses are assigned in the same sequence the buttons are pressed. After the addressing cycle they are listed in the DALI bus overview under these e-addresses. Therefore in applications with more than one manual control device it is possible to separate them.


3.3 Grouping devices

After addressing has been completed, the devices are shown in the DALI bus view. If devices already belong to a group this group is automatically created and the devices in this group are shown. Note that DALI devices may belong to several groups at the same time; they are then shown in all of these groups. • Creating a new group

Right-clicking in the DALI bus overview opens a context menu where you can select “New Group”. The next free group is then automatically added to the tree view.

• Changing a group name

Right-clicking on the group opens a context menu. The “Rename” option lets you edit the name of the group.

• Assigning a DALI device to a group

Devices are grouped by dragging them onto the relevant group entry. The device is removed from the group from which it is dragged and added to the new group. If you hold down the Ctrl key while dragging, the device is not removed from its original group but simply added to the new group. In other words, it is copied to the new group.

• Removing a DALI device from a group

You can remove a device from a group either by dragging the device to the bus interface (first entry in the list) or by right-clicking to display the context menu and selecting the option for removing the device from the group.

• Removing a DALI device

You can remove a device from the list by pressing the Delete key or by selecting the relevant option in the context menu. You will see the following message:

NOTE: For grouping the DALI MSensor see section 4. 2.1: Assigning the DALI MSensor to a

group 3.4 Checking assignments / localising devices

The “Localise” function is provided so you can check the assignment of the devices to the groups. If “localise” is ticked the selected device or the selected group will flash (visual feedback).


3.5 Device properties, parameters

When you click on (select) a device in the DALI bus overview the properties of this device are displayed in the right-hand window. You can change these settings and store the new settings back in the device: Changing the device name: Right-clicking on the device opens a context menu. The “Rename” option lets you edit the name of the device.


4. DALI devices 4.1 DALI unit (ECG)

The masterCONFIGURATOR can be used to change the address, grouping and scene values of the DALI unit.

If the installation calls for extended DALI parameters such as fade time and maximum light level to be changed, these settings must be made using the ConfigTOOL.

Read device data All the device data is read from the device on the bus and displayed

Save device data All the device data is saved to the device on the bus

Change the DALI short address The address assignment of the DALI devices can be changed here. If a device on the bus already has the newly entered address the addresses of the two devices are exchanged. (To exchange the DALI address at least one short address must be free.)

Switch the ECG on and off

Group assignment Displaying the group assignment Useful if an ECG is assigned to more than one group.

Scene assignment For setting the scene values for all 16 DALI scenes. 0 – 100% = dimming level of the scene MASK = No scene stored.


4.2 DALI MSensor

The DALI MSensor consists of the following three basic components:

• Light sensor • Motion sensor • Remote control

4.2.1 Assigning the DALI MSensor to a group There are two ways of assigning the DALI MSensor to a DALI group: • 1. Using a rotary switch:

The group address for lighting control is set on the rotary switch of the sensor (see data sheet). With this type of addressing the DALI MSensor is not assigned to a group in the bus overview but is listed separately in the bus overview.

MSensor in the DALI bus overview The following three device types are assigned to the MSensor in the DALI bus overview • Light sensor • Motion sensor • Remote control

DALI MSensor is not assigned to any group in the bus overview

The property field contains the additional information that the DALI MSensor is assigned to the luminaire group via the rotary switch


• 2. Using the masterCONFIGURATOR The luminaire group is set by dragging the DALI MSensor to the relevant group entry. The rotary switch of the sensor is ignored in this case.

IMPORTANT: Note that this group assignment overwrit es the rotary switch setting and the

setting is then no longer active. If the MSensor is subsequently removed the group the rotary switch setting will become active again.

4.2.2 DALI MSensor light sensor

NOTE: To deactivate the light sensor the switch-on value in the motion sensor properties must

be set to fixed brightness. (See 4.2.3 DALI MSensor motion sensor)

NOTE: To transfer the changed values to the DALI MS ensor you need to press the “Save”

button.

DALI MSensor is assigned to a group in the bus overview

The property field contains the additional information that the DALI MSensor is assigned to the luminaire group via software.

The next higher group is automatically assigned as the sensor input group

Read device data The device data is read from the device on the bus and displayed

Save device data The device data is saved to the device on the bus

Measured brightness: Brightness measured at the sensor lens (at the workplace the brightness may be 3 to 4 times higher).

Lighting control status: • Manual: Lighting control by the

sensor is deactivated or the setpoint has been reached

• Automatic: Lighting control by the sensor is active

Nominal brightness: Setpoint for lighting control measured at the sensor lens (at the workplace the brightness may be 3 to 4 times higher).

Bright Out: If the light value exceeds the response threshold for longer than the delay time the luminaire group is switched off by the DALI MSensor

Control speed: This indicates the fade rate in [0-7 steps] at which the ECG is to reach the setpoint value. (0 slow - 7 fast)

Switch -on level: Indicates the light level when the light source is switched on (starting point of the light control. The choice is [MAX], [MIN] or [automatic]. (automatic…MSensor calculates a special light level)


4.2.3 DALI MSensor motion sensor

NOTE: Selecting fixed brightness as the switch-on value deactivates the light sensor. NOTE: To transfer the changed values to the DALI MS ensor you need to press the “Save”

button. Never Off function If the “MIN” time is set to “Never Off” the light value remains at the minimum brightness level until motion is detected and the DALI MSensor switches to the switch-on value. (The luminaire group is never switched off by the DALI MSensor but remains at minimum brightness.)

Read devi ce data The device data is read from the device on the bus and displayed


Start -up behaviour: Indicates how the DALI MSensor reacts after failure of the bus supply (power failure). The choice is [No action], [Last status], [Max], [Off] and [Automatic] (Automatic… special light value for the light regulation)

Motion sensor: Indicates the operating mode of the motion sensor. • Active: Default mode • Only off: The motion sensor only

switches off not on • Inactive: The motion sensor is

deactivated

ON ramp (1): Indicates the time in [s] that is to elapse before the light is switched on after motion is detected. ON time (2): Delay time in [min] in which there is no motion in the room Switch-on value: • Light sensor active: The light value

is controlled via the light sensor • Fixed brightness: The DALI

MSensor switches the luminaire group to a fixed brightness value

MIN ramp (3): Indicates the time in [s] in which the devices fade to minimum brightness. MIN time (4): Indicates the time in [min] in which the minimum brightness value is held Minimum brightness: Dimmer value of the luminaire group for “MIN time”

OFF ramp (5): Indicates the time in [s] in which the devices fade from the minimum brightness (4) to Off.

“Manual off” delay: If the system is switched off manually the motion sensor is deactivated. At the end of this delay if motion has not been detected the motion sensor is activated again. If the sensor detection motion during the “Manual Off” delay, the time will be reset to the start.


4.2.4 DALI MSensor remote control

In “Individual” mode you can assign the buttons yourself. There are various options here depending on the particular button:

• ON • OFF • Toggle ON/OFF • Automatic lighting control (call up daylight control) • Fade up or down • Fixed light value (1-100%) • Scene selection • Individual (this option is reserved for additional functions in the future and is not assigned to a

function at present) NOTE: In “Individual” mode you can assign the butt ons yourself. But note that in this mode

the rotary switch setting in the DALI RC is ignored and all commands are sent to the luminaire group of the DALI MSensor.

NOTE: To transfer the changed values to the DALI MS ensor you need to press the “Save”

button. Further information about the DALI MSensor can be found on www.tridonicatco.com

Read device data The device data is read from the device on the bus and displayed


Remote control: Indicates the mode for the remote control • Deactivated:

No reaction to the remote control • Default:

The buttons on the remote control have their default settings. The luminaire group is set with the rotary switch in the battery compartment of the remote control

• Individual: The buttons on the remote control can be assigned to selected functions; the luminaire group is set with the rotary switch on the DALI MSensor

Button assignment Possible functions of the buttons (Only if the “Individual” mode is active)


4.3 DALI MC

Each of the four inputs of the DALI MC is given its own “extended address” (eA) and can then be parameterised via this “extended address”. In the DALI bus overview each input of the DALI MC appears as an individual bus user. Clicking on an input opens the relevant parameter window.

Behaviour on power return: The “Behaviour on power return” function can be used to define whether the DALI MC is to switch the lighting to a predefined state when power returns. The following settings are available:

- No change - OFF - Scene 0-15

You can use the Delay parameter to specify how long to wait until the selected command is sent. (Allowance for the start-up time of the DALI ballasts when power returns) The function parameters are set in the parameter window of input T4. The function is not available for any of the other inputs.

Each time the button is pressed the command “Go to scene 1” is sent. Further information about the DALI TOUCHPANEL can be found on www.tridonicatco.com


4.5 DALI Somfy animeo Interface

The DALI-Somfy is an interface module with 4 DALI-addresses. With each of these addresses it is possible to control one of the four motors of the “Somfy animeo IB+ motor controller”. In the DALI bus overview each input of the DALI Somfy animeo interface appears as an individual bus user. Clicking on an input opens the relevant parameter window.

NOTE: Before it is possible to setup or recall sce nes the running time and the tilting time of the

blinds have to be set in the “Somfy animeo IB+ moto r controller”. Further information about the commissioning of these two time parameter s can be found in the operation instruction of the according “Somfy animeo IB+ moto r controller”.

Further information about the DALI Somfy animeo interface can be found on www.tridonicatco.com



Change the DALI short addre ss The address assignment of the DALI devices can be changed here. If a device on the bus already has the newly entered address the addresses of the two devices are exchanged. (To exchange the DALI address at least one short address must be free.)

Group assignment Displaying the group assignment


4.6 DALI PS2 Standby

The DALI PS2 Standby is a DALI power supply with 240 mA nominal current. It is made for DALI ballasts and DALI control modules, which do not have an integrated power supply (such as DALI GC and DALI SC). To reduce the standby losses, the built-in relay disconnects the ballasts from the power supply as soon as all the luminaires have been switched off. Therefore the power loss is reduced to a minimum.

Table 4: Parameters standard settings

Parameter Description Switch-OFF delay Delay between detection that all the DALI units have been switched

off and changeover to standby mode Standby mode deactivated The DALI PS2 Standby does not change in the “standby mode”. It

stays always in the “active mode”. Overwrite the ballasts’ ”power on level” with 0%

The DALI PS2 Standby sets the parameter “power on level” of the DALI-ballasts to zero% before it changes into the “standby mode”.



Status DALI PS2 Standby Shows the current state of DALI PS2 Standby (Standby or Active)

Standard Settings: In this field it is possible to change parameters of the standard settings. For available settings see the table “Parameters standard settings”.

Read current values: By enabling this checkbox the actual values of voltage and current on the DALI circuit are shown.

Switch to: xxx With this button it is possible to change the mode from “standby” to “active” or from “active” to “standby”.

Advanced Settings: In this field it is possible to change parameters of the advanced settings. For available settings see the table “Parameters advanced settings”.


Table 5: Parameters advanced settings

Parameter Description Light level poll interval In this interval the DALI-devices are polled about their state of

operation Ballast power up delay In the startup process (leaving the standby mode) all the commands

are buffered during the "ECG Startup Delay" (maximum of 6 commands). At the end of this time the commands are sent by the power supply to the ECGs. This ensures that none of the commands is lost during the startup process

Relay state inverted 0... The relay output is open if all the units have been switched off 1... The relay output is closed, if all the units have been switched off

DALI LED inverted 0... Lights if the power supply is ready for operation. The LED goes out briefly when there is communication on the DALI bus 1... Lights only if there is communication on the DALI bus

Standby LED inverted 0... Lights when standby mode is active 1... Lights when standby mode is not active

Further information about the DALI PS2 Standby can be found on www.tridonicatco.com
