Hi,
I'm using the DALI RS485 gateway for LogicMachine (LM5Lp2), but I am having trouble scanning for devices in the DALI tab on the web interface of LogicMachine.
When I try to scan for devices, I get a popup stating that LM is "Scanning...". I've hooked up a USB interface and opened a DALI traffic monitor, and I just get loads of "framing error" messages on the traffic. This stops as soon LM stops scanning.
By using the USB interface and the software "DALI Cockpit" I am perfectly able to scan for devices and control the lights. However, as soon as I try to scan with LM, I get this framing error. I've tried to communicate through scripts, but I only get "timeout" when doing that.
The weird thing is that as late as yesterday, I had test-bench at home with one of the lamps and the same components as I did at the actual site. Wired up the same way, same components, no trouble. I found the 1 device I had connected and was able to control the lamp through scripts.
I googled "DALI framing error" and got a PDF from ABB stating that a "framing error" appears on their devices whenever a duplicate address is found. So I tried to disconnect every single lamp from the DALI circuit, but still I got the "framing error". I tried only connecting one lamp. Same thing.
What can I try to get this working again?
