Structured Lighting Excellence with ABB DG/S 8.1 8-Fold DALI Gateway

The ABB DG/S 8.1 (2CDG110025R0011) is engineered for large-scale building automation where structured, channel-based lighting control is essential. By providing 8 separate DALI outputs, this gateway enables clean separation of lighting zones, ensuring that even complex installations remain easy to manage and maintain.

Key Technical Advantages:

  • High Capacity, Multi-Channel Control: Support for up to 128 DALI devices distributed across 8 independent channels. Each channel operates as a separate DALI line, providing maximum reliability and fault isolation between different areas of the building.
  • Simplified Commissioning: One of the standout features of the DG/S 8.1 is that it requires no manual DALI addressing or complex commissioning of individual DALI slaves. The gateway handles the integration seamlessly via the ETS (Engineering Tool Software).
  • Comprehensive Functionality: For every channel, the device supports essential lighting commands including switching, dimming, and setting brightness values. It also provides critical fail feedback for both lamps and electronic ballasts, allowing for rapid diagnostics.
  • Integrated Power Source: The gateway includes its own built-in DALI power supply, significantly reducing the space required in the distribution board and lowering overall project costs.
  • Scene Management: Store and trigger up to 16 light scenes directly via KNX communication objects, enabling users to create sophisticated lighting atmospheres with a single command.

Specifications Summary:

  • Mounting Type: DIN-rail (MDRC), 6 modules width (108 mm).
  • Operating Voltage: 85…265 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 110…240 V DC.
  • Environmental Protection: IP 20 rating for indoor installation.
  • Application Compatibility: Ideal for office complexes, shopping malls, and industrial buildings requiring robust, multi-zone KNX/DALI integration.

Choose the ABB DG/S 8.1 for a reliable, industrial-grade gateway that simplifies the convergence of KNX and DALI technologies.
