It features 1 DALI main channel + 16 groups of independent group control capabilities, specially providing centralized monitoring, group linkage and unified emergency mode switching for building DALI emergency lighting systems. As a dedicated gateway for emergency lighting, it is different from ordinary DALI gateways for general lighting, deeply adapts to the industry specifications for emergency lighting, and the 1-channel 16-group design balances the simplicity of networking and the refinement of grouping, without the need for multi-gateway stacking, and adapts to the emergency lighting control needs of various buildings.
2. Core Emergency Communication & Group Control:Natively supports the DALI/DALI-2 international standard protocol, equipped with 1 dedicated DALI emergency communication channel. Under a single channel, 16 independent groups of emergency lighting equipment can be divided, and each group can independently access DALI emergency lights, emergency lighting drivers, emergency sensors and other equipment; it supports independent status monitoring, group linkage start-up, and full emergency unified switching of 16 groups of equipment, enabling one-click switching between normal mode/emergency mode. In case of failure, it can quickly trigger the start-up of emergency lighting in the corresponding group/the entire building. At the same time, it bidirectionally transmits the instructions of the KNX building central control to realize remote centralized control of emergency lighting.
3. Compatibility & Adaptation:Seamlessly access the KNX/EIB intelligent building control bus, fully compatible with ABB MDRC series building automation products, and can link with ordinary DALI lighting gateways and switch actuators to realize collaborative control of general lighting and emergency lighting; adapt to all DALI-standard emergency lighting terminal equipment without brand adaptation restrictions; adopt a plug-and-play simple deployment design, equipped with a dedicated configuration tool for emergency lighting, supporting rapid configuration of 16 groups and one-click assignment of device addresses. Non-professional technicians can quickly complete networking and debugging, and later maintenance only needs to troubleshoot faults through group status with high operation and maintenance efficiency.
4. Product Attributes:Follow the ABB MDRC series industrial-grade design standards, optimized for the 7×24-hour uninterrupted operation demand of emergency lighting, with strong anti-electromagnetic interference characteristics, able to resist electrical signal interference in commercial/industrial/public buildings, with an operating temperature range of -10℃~55℃ and an IP20 protection level, adapting to the installation environment of building distribution boxes, control cabinets, fire control rooms, etc.; the shell is made of flame-retardant and high-temperature-resistant engineering materials, meeting the relevant material requirements of fire protection, supporting 24-hour continuous and stable operation, with a fanless silent design to avoid mechanical failures affecting emergency functions; adapt to wide voltage power supply (100-240V AC), compatible with the power grid standards of different countries and regions, and can be used with fire emergency power supply to ensure the normal operation of the gateway's core monitoring function in case of power failure.
5. Core Features:Built-in dedicated fault diagnosis + real-time status feedback function for emergency lighting, which can real-time monitor the online status, power supply status and fault status (such as lamp damage, power failure) of 16 groups of emergency lighting equipment, and synchronize to the central control room through indicator lights + KNX bus to realize fault early warning and precise positioning; support emergency mode priority locking, without being disturbed by general lighting control instructions in emergency status, ensuring the reliability of emergency lighting start-up; low-power design, with emergency power supply, it can realize short-term continuous monitoring after power failure, meeting the monitoring endurance requirements of emergency lighting; built-in 16 groups of independent operation logs, which can record emergency start-up, failure, mode switching and other information, facilitating fire inspection and fault traceability.
