GATEWAY KNX/DALI BASIC 1-CH DT8 DIN

KNX/DALI interface Basic, MTN6725-0003, can control up to 64 luminaires in at most 16 groups. Commissioning (including DALI) is performed entirely using the ETS software, requiring version 5.

The interface MTN6725-0003 supports DALI DT8 message types. It extends lighting functionality from simple dimming to control of light color and/or color temperature. Color control enables effect and mood lighting, for example in restaurants or home theaters. The well-being effects achieved by color temperature control aim to increase productivity in offices, improve learning outcomes in classrooms, and reduce the number of errors and accidents in warehouses and production areas.

The color temperature of a DALI group can be set via a 2-byte unsigned integer message from the KNX side, or via a 1-byte scale message where 0% is the lowest and 100% the highest color temperature the luminaire can achieve. Additionally, color temperature can be adjusted using 4-bit messages. In addition to color temperature messages, KNX standard messages (1-bit, 4-bit, and 1-byte) are available.

Alternative message types are also available for color control of DALI groups, for example RGB (3 bytes or 3 x 1 byte) and RGBW (6 bytes). Additionally, color or color temperature can be incorporated into scenes.

Utilizing DT8 messages requires a DT8-compatible luminaire. This product description is an automated translation of the original Finnish description.
