Parameter “Number of ECGs”
This parameter sets the number of ECGs.
Options:

NOTE:
Set this parameter according to the actual number of installed ECGs. Any configured ECG that is not physically connected will be flagged as faulty. It is recommended to activate only the ECGs that are in use.
ECGs included in a group must also be activated through this parameter; their control behavior, however, will follow the group’s configuration.
5.7.1 Parameter Window ”ECG X”(X=1~64)
The parameter setting interface “ECG X” is shown in Figure 5.7.1. This interface is used for configuring the control of a single DALI device.
Each channel of the KNX/DALI gateway supports up to 64 DALI devices. Each device can be individually controlled for switching, dimming, brightness, colour temperature, and colour settings. Additionally, the gateway provides functions such as operating hour calculation and burn-in mode for each DALI device.

B: Switch is non-dimmable; light can be turned on/off when power is present; light is on when power is absent.
C: Light remains on at all times regardless of power presence.
D: Non-maintainable; light is on only when power is absent or in test mode. This type is is only suitable for versions with database versions of 2.0 or above, and DCA versions of 2.0.0.1 or above. Set parameters in section 5.7.1.2.
