DALI gateway Gira 211100 Colour 1f REG KNX Secure for integration between KNX and DALI systems

The Gira DALI gateway Gira 211100 Colour 1f REG KNX Secure provides an interface between KNX building automation and DALI lighting systems, enabling centralized control of DALI ballasts and colour-capable luminaires from a KNX installation. Designed for projects that require coordinated lighting and colour management, this gateway supports secure KNX communication and translates KNX commands to DALI groups and individual addresses, allowing integration of colour control functions into KNX scenes and logic.

Advantages

The device offers reliable protocol translation between KNX and DALI with support for colour-capable luminaires, enabling direct control of colour channels and dimming from the KNX bus. Secure KNX communication ensures data integrity and access control in installations where security is required. The gateway simplifies system design by mapping KNX group addresses to DALI addresses and groups, reducing programming complexity and enabling centralised scene management and scheduled control of lighting and colour settings.

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the gateway in the distribution board on a DIN rail and connect it to the KNX bus and the DALI line according to the installation manual. Use the manufacturer’s configuration software to assign KNX group addresses, map DALI addresses or groups, and configure colour and dimming functions. After configuration, integrate the gateway into KNX scenes and logic so that colour changes and dimming commands are issued from KNX devices, visualisation systems or schedules.

Recommendations

For stable operation, separate the KNX and DALI cabling from high-voltage power lines and follow recommended wiring practices. Test mapping and colour calibration during commissioning to ensure expected behaviour of multi-channel colour luminaires. Ensure the KNX installation uses Secure where required and keep device firmware and ETS descriptions up to date for compatibility.
