Setup and configuration with DALI Cockpit Software
Step 1: General
- Connect DALI USB to the DALI Line and PC and start the DALI Cockpit Software
- Name components and create DALI Groups
Create groups:
- group 1 “screen”: 2 Luminaires
- group 2 “meeting table front”: 2 Luminaires
- group 3 “meeting table back”: 4 Luminaires
Define Scenes:
Quickest way to do is to use “configure scenes”
- Scene 1: group 1 / 2 / 3 = 100%
- Scene 2: group 1= 30%; group 2= 100% ; group 2= 100%
- Scene 3: group 1= 30%; group 2= 40% ; group 2= 100%
