Object_Identifier​

The object instance number is the same as the associated Analog Output object and is also represented as TCLL.

  • "T" is the type of object as follows, 0 for DALI lamps, 1 for DALI groups and 2 for DALI channels.

  • "C" represents the DALI channel number, 0, 1, 2, or 3.

  • "LL" represents for group objects, numbers 0-15 and for channel objects, number 00.

Object_Name​

The Object_Name of the associated Analog Output object of the Group or Channel ending with "Scene".

Object_Type​

MULTISTATE_OUTPUT (14).

Present_Value​

Among other things the Present_Value allows recalling, storing, and deleting the scenes. The available values are described below.
