DUELUX
DUELUX is a lighting system based on the DALI-2 ndustry-standardized 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:
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 | ||
| inputdiscovery | false | true | auto-detects DOMINO’s input devices as configured in the DFCP, 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 DOMINO’s output devices as configured in the DFCP, 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 | ||
| virtualdiscovery | false | true | auto-detects DOMINO’s virtual points for input and output devices as configured in the DFCP, and automatically creates the list of all detected virtual data points in the systemtopo.txt file. Should be enabled to allow the automatic update of (button) objects’ states |
| false | auto-detect for devices’ virtual data points is 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 dimmers, groups and the broadcast address 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 and automatic generation of devices’ information in the systemtopo.txt file, set the 'discovery' option to true.
This is an example of an automatically generated systemtopo.txt file:
(devices) tr.0 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; tr.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; tr.2 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; tr.g1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; DALI group [1,2] tr.g4 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; DALI group [0,1] tr.broadcast : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; DALI broadcast
You should then manually add comments and other optional parameters:
(devices) tr.0 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; door tr.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; corridor 1 tr.2 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; corridor 2 tr.g1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; corridor group tr.g4 : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; entrance group tr.broadcast : LIGHT ; DIMMER ; DALI broadcast

- Note 1
- Only available if the MSensor is configured to work in Direct-master mode (default mode).
- Note 2
- Only available if the MSensor is configured to work in Indirect-master mode.
- Note 3
- The 2-byte DALI frames consist of an 8-bit address part and an 8-bit command part.
The address byte is formatted as follows:
| Type of Address | Byte Description |
|---|---|
| Individual address | 0AAAAAAS (AAAAAA = 0 .. 63, S = 0/1) |
| Group Address | 100AAAAS (AAAA = 0 .. 15, S = 0/1) |
| Broadcast Address | 1111111S (S = 0/1) |
The command byte is to be interpreted as an arc power level (light intensity) if bit S is 0. The arc power can range between 00 (off) and and FE (maximum level) expressed in hexadecimal. A 1 in the position S means that the command byte is to be interpreted as a DALI command. Refer to the following table for a list of all available commands:
| Command | Description |

| 00 | Extinguish the lamp without fading |
| 01 | Dim up 200 ms using the selected fade rate |

Other than the above described commands, it is possible to send the following 2-byte DALI frames:
| Frame | Description |
|---|---|
| A100 | All special mode processes shall be terminated |
| A3XX | Store value XX in the DTR |
| A5XX | Initialize addressing commands for slaves with address XX |
| A700 | Generate a new random address |
| A900 | Compare the random address with the search address |
| AB00 | Withdraw from the compare process |

| B7XX | Program the selected slave with short address XX |
| B9XX | Check if the selected slave has short address XX |
| BB00 | The selected slave returns its short address XX |
| BD00 | Go into physical selection mode |
The value of the events ID.command and ID.monitor is expressed as a 4-digits string “XXYY” representing the hexadecimal value (upper case letters) of the two bytes. For instance, to send the command 00 to the group 1 of our system “tr”, the following syntax will apply: tr.command = 8300
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.
