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.

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, as well as the broadcast command, 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
toolsproxy false true HSYCO acts as a Web proxy to enable access to DLCP's Web tools
false tools proxy disabled
toolspassword string set this option with a long string (only letters and numbers) password to allow the remote connection of DLPIDE and other configuration tools to the DLCP gateways that are connected to HSYCO. For additional security, it is recommended to set this option only when required

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.

DLCP Web Tools Proxy Access

When the toolsproxy option is set to true, HSYCO acts as a web proxy to enable access to DLCP's Web tools through HSYCO's HTTPS web server.

Use the following URLs to access the tools menu and home page of each one of the connected and enabled DLCP units:

https://<HSYCO Server name and port>/duelux/<I/O Server ID>/webmenu.htm
https://<HSYCO Server name and port>/duelux/<I/O Server ID>/

Note that the .htm suffix is required to directly access the web pages, and the trailing / is required to access the home page.

You must be logged in with an administrator account to the HSYCO Server on the same web browser to have access to the tools proxy.

User Interface

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