DUELUX
DUELUX is a lighting system based on the DALI-2 industry-standard protocol for lighting control. HSYCO integrates this system and communicates with it through the DLCP gateway module via a TCP/IP connection.
Contents
HSYCO Configuration
Add an DUELUX I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters.
Note that the DUELUX I/O Server counts as 1/4 unit in the I/O servers license total.
Communication
- IP Address: host name or IP address of the DLCP gateway
- IP Port: TCP/IP port of the DLCP gateway (defaults to 80 if not set)
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.
Options
| ID | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| startupevents | false | true | generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase |
| false | start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system | ||
| groupdiscovery | true | true | auto-detects DALI groups as configured in the DLCP, and automatically creates the list of all detected devices and individual data points in the systemtopo.txt file. Should be enabled to allow the automatic update of (button) objects’ states |
| false | auto-detect for input devices is disabled | ||
| outputdiscovery | true | true | auto-detects DALI output devices as configured in the DLCP, and automatically creates the list of all detected devices and individual data points in the systemtopo.txt file. Should be enabled to allow the automatic update of (button) objects’ states |
| false | auto-detect for output devices is disabled | ||
| areasconfiguration | false | true | polls the DLCP areas/scenarios set point and delay configuration settings |
| false | areas configuration polling disabled | ||
| detectevents | false | true | generate forced events when a device is detected at start-up |
| false | do not generate events when a device is detected at start-up |
The Device Configuration Database
The systemtopo.txt file contains the list of all groups and individual outputs that could be directly associated to graphic objects in the Web-based user interface. This file can be filled manually or automatically by HSYCO at start-up. To enable automatic discovery, set the 'groupdiscovery' and/or 'outputdiscovery' option to true.
This is an example of an automatically generated systemtopo.txt file:
(devices) dlcp.g1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G1 dlcp.g10 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G10 dlcp.g11 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G11 dlcp.g12 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G12 dlcp.g13 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G13 dlcp.g14 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G14 dlcp.g15 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G15 dlcp.g16 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G16 dlcp.g2 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G2 dlcp.g3 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G3 dlcp.g4 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G4 dlcp.g5 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G5 dlcp.g6 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G6 dlcp.g7 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G7 dlcp.g8 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G8 dlcp.g9 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; G9 dlcp.o1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; O1 dlcp.o2 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; O2 dlcp.o3 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; O3 dlcp.o4 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; O4
You should then manually add comments and other optional parameters.

User Interface
All the devices that have been defined in the systemtopo.txt database are automatically listed in the Web Editor. Adding a slider to control a dimmer requires just a few clicks and no additional EVENTS logic.
