Wireless DALI bus powered converter/master - MIDAM WDALI01
Compact, wireless, serial DALI bus converter. This is the second generation multimaster converter harmonized according to EN60929 Edition 4: 2011 Annex E. The device is powered from the DALI bus and features native modbus map. The communication is based on the AES128 encrypted Midam KFP protocol, which allows to update the device firmware on a wireless basis.
- Lighting control in the DALI standard
- 2nd generation multimaster type according to EN 60929
- Passive power supply from the DALI bus
- Integrated Modbus map
Function
Wireless communication is based on an unlicensed 868 MHz band. Embedded AES 128-bit, provides the most secure encryption standard for wireless connections. Commands from up to 16 WINXxx devices can be received and processed in autonomous mode. Button functions are press/release/hold, or off/on. Each received event from a button or switch generates a predefined DALI command that is broadcast on the bus by the user. In the case of DALI commands that are not in the “broadcast” mode, the DALI response is received and processed in the WDALI01 and can be read by the SCADA system via the WCOM01, or WCOM51 wireless gateways. DALI communication is harmonized according to EN60929 ed.4: 2011 Annex E, which allows the use of multimaster technology. The WDALI01 is passively powered directly from the DALI bus. The device has factory-set values to ensure the correct default function and allows direct reading and writing of values to the Modbus map, which is available in a separate document. All settings are also stored in the Modbus map directly in the device. Before using the device for the first time, it is necessary to pair it and it is recommended to perform individual configuration, especially to change the encryption password.
Application
- Wireless DALI bus control
- Reception from up to 16 WINXxx devices
- Wireless light control
- Wireless integration into SCADA systems
Pairing
Two devices are required for mutual communication. Both must be powered and located in close proximity to each other. Usually, wireless gateway or configuration dongle is used to set up remote wireless devices. Use look-up function in software tool to display a list of all available devices in range and assign or adjust parameters based on wireless ID code for each single device. There is a comprehensive help section integrated in the software tool to provide support during the wireless device set up procedure.
SCADA system integration
WCOM01, resp. WCOM51 wireless gateways are recommended for direct integration into SCADA systems.
Midam KFP Password change
Prior to the first use, the encryption password (default “MIKROKLIMA1234AB”) must be changed using the WUSB01 configuration dongle and the relevant software tool.
