Delay for DALI !

[phongvucba]

Hi everyone! I have dim DALI problem on LM. Do you have a solution to help me? It is turned off quickly or turned on quickly, annoying customers
I want dim from 0% to 100% or from 100% to 0% to have a period. For example it will take 5s to complete the event,. In the settings section there is no time.
Thank so much!

You can change fade time of ballasts via a script. Fade time setting 6 is approximately 4 seconds, the larger the value the longer the fade time.
Run this once (assuming you are using internal gateway):

Code:

require('user.dali')

dalicmd('internal', 'setdtr', { addrtype = 'broadcast', value = 6 })
dalicmd('internal', 'storefadetime', { addrtype = 'broadcast' })

I also suggest looking into our CANx-DALI gateway which provides a lot more features than the internal or old RS-485 gateways.

Thank so much , everyone ! Admin !
I have seen it work well! But I do not understand where it will store this information? . But there is something I do not understand, when I do this, my on / off address 11/1/1 it also works dim, I do not want that, I only need 11/1/3 dimmer address. Can it change you?
And I also want to Get the entire state of the light, and bring it up to update. I have tried but it's failed? Help me please.
--------------------------------
require('user.dali')
res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'querystatus', { addrtype = 'broadcast' })
if res then
log(res:byte())
else
log(err)
end

You can try using a script instead of object mapping for binary light control. This event script must be mapped to a binary object. It will control ballast with short address 1.

Code:

require('user.dali')
cmd = event.getvalue() and 'recallmax' or 'off'
res, err = dalicmd('internal', cmd, { addrtype = 'short', address = 1 })

As for status you cannot use broadcast if you have more than 1 ballast. All ballasts will reply to broadcast query which will result in a collision error. Use short address mode for queries:

Code:

res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'querystatus', { addrtype = 'short', address = 0 })

thank Admin !
I do not quite understand! For example, my dimmer is 11/1/3, I want to receive status at 11/1/103. How do I add the code? I really thank you, I'm new.

[admin]

Use a resident script with 5-10 seconds of sleep time.

Code:

require('user.dali')

res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'querystatus', { addrtype = 'short', address = 0 })
if res then
  grp.checkupdate('11/1/103', res:byte())
end

res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'querystatus', { addrtype = 'short', address = 1 })
if res then
  grp.checkupdate('11/1/104', res:byte())
end

I love you every one !
Thank so much !

I try! but...
Everyone let me ask! Why is my value not returning as current value? 11/1/3 other than 11/1/103 (status). 11/1/4 other than 11/1/104 (status). 30% and 51%, but it's 4% and 4%. Please help me!

require('user.dali')

res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'querystatus', { addrtype = 'short', address = 0 })
if res then
  grp.checkupdate('11/1/103', res:byte())
end

res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'querystatus', { addrtype = 'short', address = 1 })
if res then
  grp.checkupdate('11/1/104', res:byte())
end

[admin]

You need to use queryactual instead of querystatus command.
Try this script:

Code:

require('user.dali')

function queryactual(short, addr)
  local res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'queryactual', { addrtype = 'short', address = short })
  if res then
    local val = res:byte()
    if val > 0 then
      val = math.floor(val / 2.54 + 0.5)
      val = math.max(1, val)
    end
    grp.checkupdate(addr, val)
  end
end

queryactual(0, '11/1/103')
queryactual(1, '11/1/104')

Hi every one !
I am using version 20200720, but the Delay dim or get the status functions are not working? Is it faulty ?, my old version runs ok!
------Delay dim----
require('user.dali')
dalicmd('internal', 'setdtr', { addrtype = 'broadcast' ,value = 7 })--Lưu giá trị 7 vào thanh ghi DTR
dalicmd('internal', 'storefadetime', { addrtype = 'broadcast' })--Lấy giá trị 7 đó ở thanh ghi để cho vào thời gian dimmer
----------update status for addr------
require('user.dali')
function queryactual(short, addr)
  local res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'queryactual', { addrtype = 'short', address = short })
  if res then
    local val = res:byte()
    if val > 0 then
      val = math.floor(val / 2.54 + 0.5)
      val = math.max(1, val)
    end
    grp.checkupdate(addr, val)
  end
end
queryactual(0, '2/7/101')

Please help me!

Try deleting user.dali library from Scripting - User libraries. Reboot after deleting and new version of the same library will appear.

[phongvucba]

Thanks Admin! It works again. But there's one more thing I have a problem with.
When I scan the ballasts Dim Dali I can't scan all, sometimes it only accepts 2, sometimes it accepts 5  . I do not understand why?
Thank so much everyone! <3

This sound like power/cabling issue on DALI

Hi, I had configured this resident script (0 sec) that worked until the LM 20200720 update. Should I change something?

Code:

require('user.dali')

for address = 0, 64 do
  res = dalicmd('internal', 'queryactual', { addrtype = 'short', address = address })

  if res then
    value = res:byte()
    value = math.floor(value / 2.54 + 0.5)


   
   
   
    grp.checkupdate('40/0/' .. address, value)
  end

  os.sleep(1)
end

[admin]

Have you tried this?

[admin]

Don't delete the package, delete the user library:

Thanks Admin! it's working again.

Thank Daniel ! 
do you mean the source DALI bus is not enough?
I gave it DLP-04R (level gain 0.24A = 240mA) per channel of LM5.
Could it be one more reason?

[Daniel]

By DALI standard, you should not have more than 2V drop on the dali bus, You should check it next to LM and on the last ballast.

You need to use queryactual instead of querystatus command.
Try this script:

Code:

require('user.dali')

function queryactual(short, addr)
  local res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'queryactual', { addrtype = 'short', address = short })
  if res then
    local val = res:byte()
    if val > 0 then
      val = math.floor(val / 2.54 + 0.5)
      val = math.max(1, val)
    end
    grp.checkupdate(addr, val)
  end
end

queryactual(0, '11/1/103')
queryactual(1, '11/1/104')

I need your opinion on how it is advisable to obtain the status of the ballasts in group.

For example, a group of 60 ballasts linked to the same control object. To visualize the real state I need to obtain at least the state of one of them, but in the event that in the future that ballast fails, could I assign the same address to the 60 ballasts?

To visualize the On / Off status, I added another line to the script, is that fine, or is it recommended to do it in another way?

Code:

require('user.dali')

function queryactual(short, addr)
  local res, err = dalicmd('internal', 'queryactual', { addrtype = 'short', address = short })
  if res then
    local val = res:byte()
    if val > 0 then
      val = math.floor(val / 2.54 + 0.5)
      val = math.max(1, val)
    end
    grp.checkupdate(addr, val)
  end
end

queryactual(0, '1/1/0') --Porcentage
queryactual(0, '1/2/0') --1Bit
queryactual(1, '1/1/0') --Porcentage
queryactual(1, '1/2/0') --1Bit
queryactual(2, '1/1/0') --Porcentage
queryactual(2, '1/2/0') --1Bit
