Ekinex® Gateways EK-BF1-TP-D2 is used to control electronic control gear (ECG) with a DALI interface (according to EN 62386) via the KNX installation bus. The device converts switching and dimming commands from the connected KNX system into DALI telegrams and status information from the DALI bus into KNX telegrams.
Connections
- KNX port with standard connector
- Screw terminals for DALI bus
Technical Data
- Device power supply: 110-240 Vac or DC
- KNX bus power supply
Supply
The scope of delivery includes a terminal for connection to the KNX bus line and a 1.2 x 2 cm heat shrink tubing for additional insulation of the bus cable.
Other information
DALI® (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a worldwide standard for interfacing lighting control solutions whose data transmission protocol is contained in IEC 62386. DALI is a registered trademark of ZVEI (Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie e.V.).
With firmware version 0.2.5 or higher, the device is certified according to EN 62386-101 and -103 ed2 (DALI2) and therefore authorised to carry the DALI-2 logo.
