General use
The IPAS DALI Gateway DaliControl gc16 is a device used to control 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 category 1 device (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.
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
•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 according to values
and/or colour.
•Different operating modes such as permanent mode, night-time mode or stair-
case mode
•Integrated operating hours counter for each group 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
•“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)
•Signalling 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 segmentes 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
As an REG device the 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). How-
ever, 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.
Once the connection is complete and the power supply is turned on, you can start commissioning the DALI segment and programming
with ETS. For all further processes, please see the application program description.
