This switch is equipped with 4 programmable push-buttons, and you can assign different actions to each via the VERTEX controller.
How to use it in the LMS design?
To use this component in your LMS projects you need to remember the typical Ethernet2DALI limitations. The maximum DALI current is only 3 mA for this switch, with an average DALI current of 2 mA. LMS DALI-2 CROSS SWITCH is compatible with the DALI-2 protocol, which means that it takes up only one DALI address on the DALI bus. The identification is done by using a built in buzzer (sound). This will enable you to easily check the connection to the VERTEX.
Temperature range is from 0oC to 50oC. The mounting of the Cross switch is according to the Ø 60mm standard electrical junction box. The component should be flush-mounted.
How to commission it?
To program the logic for this switch within the Node-RED tool you need to use a dali2devs node which you can find in the node pallette on the left-hand side of the Node-RED.
Click this node to enter the configuration window. Choose the serial number of the device in the Serial Number field and then in the Dali2 Device select Dali2 input unit. This device has 4 DALI-2 input units to program. For the standard toggle button use Mode: Normal. If you need to create a function of dimming choose Mode:ESDIM.
Then click Done in the upper right corner of the window.
Then you need to find the vertex action node in the palette. Select the group you like to be controlled by this switch. Then define action you want (single button, toggle button, triple button, etc.)
Don't forget to connect all your nodes and be sure that the vertex cluster node is present in your flow!
Then click Deploy button at the upper-right corner of the Node-RED.
Import the ready flow using the code below:
