General device description
2 General device description
e:cue SYMPL Nodes are a system of interfaces for e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT
only. They provide various connection types like DMX512, DALI, digital
inputs and outputs etc. SYMPL Nodes always operate in online mode, as a
device interface for SYMPHOLIGHT. All interactions are initiated and
controlled by SYMPHOLIGHT. Connections between servers, Cores and
Nodes are always made with e:net via Ethernet.
The e:cue SYMPL dali Node is a single line DALI interface. It provides a
DALI interface for up to 64 DALI devices in one line including bus power
and full support for DALI ballast and OSRAM sensors / inputs. The
SYMPL dali Node is powered by an external power supply. It is easily
mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails, or with a key hole in the housing
base on walls or on any stable vertical surface. Via SYMPHOLIGHT, DALI
commands like linear dimming curve (DT6), RGB, RGBW, and Color
Temperature (DT8) are supported. The SYMPL dali Node is a simple,
reliable and easy to use interface solution for e:cue lighting control solutions
with SYMPHOLIGHT

e:net Off: no link available.
On: link established.
Blinking: e:net trafc.
Test / Error Off: no error detected.
Short-short-long sequence: Test mode active.
On: If constantly lights in red, an error occurred. This
can be an internal error or malfunction of the device, or
an external error, e.g. a shortcut of interface
connections or alien power supply. Switch the device off
and on. If the error persists, check the wiring or contact
OSRAM Service.
Status +
Test / Error
The Status and Test / Error LED blink simultaneously to
identify the SYMPL Node (enabled “Identify Interface
Mode” in SYMPHOLIGHT).
Active Yellow blinking: data output from the DALI Node to the
xtures.
Blue blinking: incoming data to the DALI Node.
Bus Off: SYMPL dali Node is not connected to DALI bus.
On: DALI bus ready to operate.
Blinking: alien power supply detected.
2.4 Identify button: Identification & Reset & Testing
The Identify button has four functions: to send an Identify message (A), to
reset the Node (B), to test the installation (C), and to exit the error state (D).
(A) A short press during operation in online mode sends an Identify
message to the server. This helps to assign the Node in the Layout in
SYMPHOLIGHT.
(B) The Identify button can also be used to reset the device to factory state
or to stay in bootloader mode:

11
General device description
• Keep the Identify button pressed while powering up, Status and
Test / Error light up at rst. Bootloader mode is signaled by a fast
blinking Status LED. Release the button now. The device stays in
bootloader mode to download a new rmware.
To exit the bootloader mode, short press the Identify button again
• Press the Identify button until Status and Test / Error LEDs blink
alternating, then blink together. Releasing the button now resets the
device to its factory settings. The password and other settings are reset
to their default values. To employ a reset Startup behavior, a restart of
the device is required.
• Keeping the button pressed further on, the device proceeds to
normal operation. No changes apply.
(C) Use the Identify button also to test the connected xtures to ensure
their correct installation.
• Access the Test mode of the SYMPL Node by double-pressing the
Identify button during operation. The Test / Error LED signals the Test
mode by blinking short-short-long repeatedly.
• Single-press the Identify button to switch between the following
Test patterns:
1. All ballasts on maximum value.
2. All ballasts on minimum value.
3. All ballasts toggle between 0 and 255.
• Exit the Test mode any time by double-pressing the Identify button
again. The device proceeds to normal operation. The Test / Error LED is
off.
(D) Short press the Identify button if an error occurs and you want to exit
the error mode. The device will switch back to normal activity if the cause of
error is eliminated. The Node might reboot.

4 Installation
The installation of the SYMPL dali Node consists of mounting the device,
connections to DALI devices, to e:net and to power supply.
The sequence of cabling is not dened. Supply the SYMPL dali Node with
power after all cabling is completed; it starts booting.
Batteries and technical appliances must not be disposed of
with domestic waste, but should be handed in at the
appropriate collection and disposal points.
!
Connect cables and data only when the device is powered
down.
!
Each cable should not exceed a length of 30 m.

Installation
4.1 Installation conditions
Installation position: Terminals on top and bottom
Horizontal spacing: No spacing necessary
Minimum vertical rail grid spacing: 115 mm (90 + 25 mm)
(excluding conduit)
Recommended vertical rail grid spacing: 160 mm (with 40 mm conduit)
Installation location Indoor
4.2 Mounting process
The e:cue SYMPL Node is designed to mount onto a 35 mm DIN rail
(EN 60715) in a vertical position.
1. Clip the device to the rail from
top.
2. Gentle pressure is then
applied to the top front to snap it
in place. The SYMPL dali Node
has been mounted successfully.
You can also mount the e:cue
SYMPL Node on any at vertical surface. Use a 3 to 3.5 mm screw for the
hanger hole.
For mechanical stability, mounting on a rail is recommended.
The e:cue SYMPL dali Node provides connectivity to Ethernet via e:net and
to DALI xtures via the DALI bus. A separate power supply unit as external
power source has to be attached to the dali Node.

15
Installation
4.3 Ethernet connection
The pin-assignment of the Ethernet port corresponds to RJ45 standards.
You can use every common Ethernet component, like cable, splitters, and
switches. Connect the SYMPL dali Node at the designated Ethernet
interface with a patch cable (RJ45, CAT5).
4.4 DALI connection
The e:cue SYMPL dali Node offers a 2-pin assigned screw terminal plug for
the DALI output. Use a screw driver to open and close the terminal for
attaching the two DALI bus wires. Connect the wires according to the pin
assignment on the label.
The Node provides two terminals for each pin if the wires exceed the gauge
of the terminal plugs. In this case, please divide the wire’s end into two and
attach both cable heads in juxtaposition with each other and according to
the pin assignment to the terminal plugs.
4.5 Power supply
Connect a certied NEC Class 2 24 V DC power supply unit to the
SYMPL dali Node. Present power supply equates to the status “On” or
running of the SYMPL Node.
To connect the SYMPL dali Node to a power supply unit, the dali Node
provides a 2-pin screw terminal plug. Use an electrostatic sensitive screw
i
Never connect more than one SYMPL Node in factory state
to a network. The identical IP addresses will conict and
disturb proper communication.
i
The Ethernet port of the SYMPL Node is not designed for
inter-building connections with power and lighting transients.
Use only intra-building networks to connect the SYMPL
Nodes and Cores.

16
Installation
driver to open and close the terminal for attaching the two power supply
wires of a 24 V DC power supply. Connect the wires according to the pin
assignment on the label.
Turn the power on when all cables are connected to the SYMPL dali Node.
The device starts booting. The device has nished booting and is in
operation when the LED Status is ashing.
The dali Node runs a power supply check automatically but only at the rst
instant after switching on. The power supply check scans the DALI bus
system for alien power supply and incorrect voltage. In case of alien power
supply or incorrect voltage, the DALI bus will not be powered.
A Mean Well DR-15-24 power supply unit is recommended.
!
For electrical safety reasons it is not allowed that SYMPL dali
Nodes share the same power supply with other SYMPL
nodes, such as SYMPL dmx Node etc.
Please make sure to use one dedicated power supply unit
only for the DALI devices.
!
The SYMPL dali Node is not suited for powering over a DC
power supply network. Use a separate certied SELV Class 2
power supply unit in the control cabinet for supplying 24 V
DC to the SYMPL dali Node.
i
Detach from the power supply whenever working on the
DALI bus or any attached DALI devices. DALI bus related
changes can cause damage to the installation and are only
detected after switching on the SYMPL dali Node. A power
supply check for the DALI bus system executes.

Dene whether the SYMPL dali Node provides DALI bus
power to the connected DALI devices on its startup.
Useful in emergency cases when the SYMPL dali Node
is powered prior to the connected devices and
SYMPHOLIGHT’s DALI bus power command is not
available on startup.
ON: DALI bus power provided. The connected
devices switch to their Power On Level.
OFF: DALI bus power disabled. The connected
devices display their System Failure Level.
