key features and functionalities:

1. Dual DALI Interfaces: Each gateway supports two independent DALI interfaces, allowing for a total of 64 DALI actuators (such as electronic control gear with DALI interface) and additional DALI sensors (e.g., presence detectors, key interfaces) per channel.
2. Bidirectional Communication: DALI is a bidirectional communication interface compliant with IEC 62386. This means it can receive commands (e.g., switching, dimming) and transmit status information (e.g., failure notifications, error reports).
3. Actuator Control and Grouping: The gateways can control and dim DALI actuators individually or in groups. During commissioning using the ETS (Engineering Tool Software), each DALI device is assigned an individual name, group, parameters, and scenes.
4. Error Handling: The gateways are capable of recording and transferring DALI status and error messages, allowing for efficient troubleshooting and maintenance.
5. Integrated Power Supply: The gateways feature an integrated power supply unit that powers the gateway electronics and generates the DALI bus voltage. This ensures uninterrupted operation and allows for direct switching and dimming of DALI devices, even without ETS operation or KNX communication.
6. Direct Mode: The gateways offer a “Direct Mode” feature, accessible via a key on the front panel. In this mode, all lights can be switched on/off or dimmed together using the key pair, and control is transferred to the DALI bus line via the respective channel.
7. LED Status Indication: An LED indicator displays the switched status of the connected lights, providing visual feedback on the operation of the system.
8. Voltage Detection: During initialization, the gateways feature a voltage detector to ensure correct wiring and prevent damage due to incorrect voltage application.
9. Current Limitation: The gateways ensure that the maximum permissible current drain by all connected DALI devices is not exceeded, thereby maintaining safe operation of the system.
