Operating and mounting instructions
DaliControl gc16
Order No. 4101-145-11
General usage
The IPAS DALI Gateway DaliControl gc16 is a device used to control
electronic control gears (ECGs) with a DALI interface (in accordance
with EN 62386) via the KNX installation bus. The device transforms
switch and dim commands from the connected KNX system into DALI
telegrams and status information from the DALI bus into KNX
telegrams.
The DaliControl gc16 is a so-called Single Master Application
Controller (according to EN 62386-103). This means the device must
only be used in DALI segments with connected ECGs and not with
other DALI control devices within the segment (no multi-master
operation). The required power supply for the up to 64 connected
ECGs comes directly from the DaliControl gc16. An additional DALI
power supply is not required and not permitted. Supported are ECGs
according to EN 62386-102 ed1 (DALI1) as well as devices according
to EN 62386-102 ed2 (DALI2).
With firmware version 0.2.5 or higher the DaliControl gc16 is
certified according to EN 62386-101 and -103 ed2 (DALI2) and
therefore entitled to bear the DALI-2 logo.
The device comes in a 4TE wide DIN Rail casing so it can be directly
integrated into the mains distribution box.
In addition to the pure gateway function, the DaliControl gc16 also
offers numerous additional functions:
•Addressing of up to 16 DALI groups or 64 individual ECGs
•Flexible DALI commissioning concept in the ETS5
•Coloured light control with the help of device type 8 ECGs
•Coloured light control depending on ECG sub-type:
➢Colour temperature(DT-8 Sub-Type Tc)
➢XY colour (DT-8 Sub-Type XY)
➢RGB (DT-8 Sub-Type RGBWAF)
➢HSV (DT-8 Sub-Type RGBWAF)
➢RGBW (DT-8 Sub-Type RGBWAF)
➢The DT-8 sub-type PrimaryN is not supported.
•Support of time scheduling programmes to control groups and
ECGs according to values and/or colour.
•Different operating modes such as permanent mode, night-time
mode or staircase mode
•Integrated operating hours counter for each group and ECG with
an alarm for when the maximum life-span has been reached
•Individual fault recognition with objects for each light/ECG
•Complex fault analysis at group/device level with number of faults
and fault rate calculation
•Fault threshold monitoring with individually configurable threshold
values
•Scene module for extensive scene programming and possibility of
dimming scenes
•Quick exchange function“ for easy replacement of individual faulty
ECGs
•Manual control of group and broadcast telegrams via control
buttons on the device (see application program description for
operating instructions)
•Signaling of a fault status via LEDs on the device (see
application program description)
DALI devices for individual battery emergency lights of device type DT-
1 can be read by DaliControl gc16 and switched and controlled via
DALI telegrams. However, DALI commands to start and export test
results are not supported. We recommend using the DaliControl e64
for DT-1 devices.
The special surface for the configuration of DALI segments is designed
as DCA (Device Control App) for the ETS5.
Please remember to install the corresponding etsapp in addition to the
product database knxprod. The etsapp is available for download on the
IPAS website or from Konnex.

Mounting and wiring
DaliControl gc16 is suitable for mounting in distribution boxes on
35 mm DIN rails. To mount the device it must be angled to slide onto
the DIN rail from above and then locked into place with a downward
movement. Please make sure that the security latch at the bottom side
of the device snaps into place and that the device is firmly attached to
the rail.
To dismount the device, the security latch can be pulled downwards
with a suitable tool and then the device can be removed from the rail.
After the device has been inserted, the cable for the DALI bus should
be attached to the upper left connector first. In accordance with EN
62386, the DALI control lines can be carried in a 5-wired cable
together with the power supply (simple basic insulation is sufficient).
However, please make sure that these are labelled clearly. For the
entire DALI installation of a segment, a maximum cable length of 300m
must not be exceeded. (Recommended cross-sectional area 1.5mm²).
The power supply is connected to the top left-hand side connector in
the order indicated on the casing.
To connect the KNX cable, a standard bus connector is plugged into
the respective entry on the device.
Attention: Please make sure that there is double basic insulation
between the KNX installation and the power supply. To do so,
please insulate the wires of the KNX cable up to the bus
connector with the enclosed shrinkable tubing.
