This driver is used to connect to RAPIX DALI Ethernet interfaces.
RAPIX also has presence detectors and pushbuttons on DALI. These devices have different profiles, e.g. different overtravel times or functionalities such as fully automatic or semi-automatic.
These profiles can be switched via the so-called XI operating flags. These must be created in the Rapix Integrator and can then be imported into the driver.
The so-called XI flags can be used to block presence detectors or also pushbuttons, e.g. individually or in groups.
Data points of the component
Name |

Function |
|---|---|---|
Driver On/Off |
Bidirectional |
Switch driver on or off. |
Dali |
Folder |
The following data points are available for lines 1 to 4: |
- Error - Error present |
Output |
An "on" signal indicates whether an error is present. |
- Error - Brightness(es) unknown |
Output |
An "on" signal indicates that the scan has not been completed and therefore not all data is present. |
- Error - OK |
Output |
An "on" signal indicates that no error occurred during the test. |
- Test result |
Output |
Outputs the test result in DALI format. This data point is linked to the DALI Emergency Light Manager (Dynamic-->Gateway-->Devices). |
- Test trigger |
Input |
Test trigger in DALI format. This data point is linked to the DALI Emergency Lighting Manager (Dynamic-->Gateway-->Devices). |
Dynamic |
Folder |
Here the subfolders for flags, properties and zones (see below) are created. Flags and properties are only displayed if they have been created in the RAPIX integrator. |
System |
Folder |
General data points are grouped together in this folder. |
- Diagnosis [Text] |
Output |
Attention: Diagnostic or Debug - Outputs are only for error cases. Please use only after consulting with the support team! If used, these can significantly affect the performance of the service. |
- Event messages Controller [Text] |
Output |
All events of the controller are output here as text. |
- Send Response [Text] |
Output |
Text output of responses from commands sent from the Polar Bear. |
- Query status of all zones |
Input |
An on or off signal is used to query the status of all zones. |
- Driver Status |
Output |
Shows if there is a connection to the gateway or not. |
