DaliControl SC64 IP
In order to meet market requirements for a greater number of groups that can be controlled via a gateway, IPAS engineers have
developed a further DALI Gateway, which, in addition to the classic control of 16 DALI groups, also allows individual control of
ECGs. The DaliControl SC64IP supports both group and ECG short address communication. This makes it possible to control
up to 64 ECGs individually in addition to the switching of light groups. This possibility makes the DALI particularly interesting in
environments where many lights need to be controlled individually, e.g. small offices or laboratories.
The major advantage of the DaliControl SC64IP is that each device allows for individual control in addition to group control. This
means that for example in an open-plan offi ce 2x 16 lights can be controlled in groups (with the advantage of synchronisation within
a group) plus 32 individual offices with 1 light each.
Each DaliControl SC64 IP comprises the full functionality of the DaliControl
SC16 plus additional single control.
Light and ECG fault recognition – Not only comfort but also economical advantage
A particular advantage of the DALI technology is that light and ECG faults can immediately be recognised and analysed. Via the
IPAS DALI gateways an error status can be directly transmitted to the KNX bus and displayed within a visualisation. Important,
safety-relevant lights can be connected directly to an alarm and the maintenance personnel can be informed immediately in case
of a malfunction. This means that mitigating measures can be taken straight away.
The exact localisation of the affected light offered by the IPAS DaliControl SC64IP means that the maintenance personnel is led
straight to the relevant light without further search. Additional functions of modern visualisations (e.g. IPAS ComBridge Studio),
such as the connection of an alarm with the data sheet of the corresponding light, sending of the data sheet as an attachment
to the e-mail alarm, etc further contribute to the optimisation process. Even in the case of lights that are not crucial for safety
purposes, the individual error notifi cation is of great importance. Whilst the individual fault in a big hall might not be
decisive for the overall brightness level, the failure of a certain percentage of lights within a group (e.g. > 20%) makes the
exact provision of this information crucial for an efficient maintenance process.
Commissioning via the web – there is no easier way
In addition to the possibilities described above, the DaliControl SC64IP also offers a further
commissioning option via the integrated web server. If the desired gateway is connected to the
IP network via a common patch cable, any commissioning website of the device can be loaded
via any browser simply by entering the IP address.
Intuitive ICONs on the site ensure quick identifi cation and group assignment of the connected DALI segment. The service engineer can,
of course, also realise the network connection of his notebook via a WLAN network. Room to manoeuvre during the commissioning process
makes the work much easier, especially in installations where lights are spread over different rooms or even fl oors.
And all this without having to install any additional software. The web browser is enough. The website design on the DaliControl SC64IP
also makes the display on many PDAs and mobile browsers possible. This means that the notebook can be done without at any time.
A modern mobile phone makes any other commissioning tool unnecessary.
