KNX/EIB KNX IP Interface

1. Summary
The KNX IP Interface is designed for an intelligent building control system, which is used for facilitating
communication between the Ethernet network and the KNX system.

The KNX IP Interface connects the EIB/KNX system with the Ethernet network via an Ethernet RJ45
interface in the front，It serves as an interface between KNX installations and IP networks and can configure,
parameterize and commission the EIB/KNX installation as well as bus monitor via the LAN using the ETS
(ETS3 or later) software.

For operation an additional 30V DC supply is necessary. The bus connection and auxiliary power supply
connection are carried out via using EIB bus connection terminals.

The device adopts an Ethernet RJ45 interface to connect with LAN network. The network interface can be
operated with a transmission speed of 10/100Mbit/s Auto Sensing.

The IP address of the device can be fixed or can be received from a DHCP server. If you need to remain the
IP address static or here no DHCP server on the network, you can assign a fixed IP address to the device via ETS.
The application program is preloaded in the factory, the IP address is fixed, and the port number is set to 3671.
(Note: the device cannot program itself, but need via other communication interface device to program it.)

The KNX IP Interface is able to use the Engineering Tool Software ETS (ETS3 or later) with a VD4 file to
allocate the physical address and set the parameter. The factory default physical addresses are 15.15.255, and the
address can be modified directly via local interface settings of ETS.

The KNX IP Interface is a modular installation device. It can be installed in the distribution board on 35mm
mounting rails according to EN 60 715.

This manual provides the technical information about the KNX IP Interface as well as assembly and
programming in detail for users, and explains how to use the interface device by the application examples.

3. Parameter setting description in the ETS

3.1 Parameter window “IP settings”

Parameter window “IP setting” is shown in fig. 3.2.
Because IP Interface and RS485 converter use the same product database, so before setting IP Interface
parameters, you must select devices first, as follow (fig.3.1):

Fig.3.2 parameter window “IP settings”

Parameter “Device name (Max. 30 Char.), If first char. = „A‟ or „a‟ use DHCP”
The parameter defines the name of the IP Interface to identify the device on the LAN. Here can entry a
maximum of 30 characters in length.
The follow points apply for setting:
If the first character is A or a, the device will work in DHCP mode, and can get an IP address automatically
from network. And the character will not disappear in the device’s name.
If the first character is F or f, the IP address of the device need set by manual. And the character will not
disappear in the device’s name.
For example:
If your device name is “Family”, and you want to use DHCP mode, Input string “AFamily”. If you want to
use Fix mode, Input string “FFamily.
If your device name is “Audio”, and you want to use DHCP mode, Input string is “AAudio”. If you want to
use Fix mode, Input string is “FAudio”. If you input “Audio”, then the device name is “udio”, and use DHCP
mode.
If your device name is start with another character, you can input the device name directly, with Fix IP
address mode, without with the “F” or “f” start. If you want to use DHCP mode, you only add “A” or “a” at ahead
of your device name.
Parameter “IP address assignment (Don‟t use it if DHCP)”

The parameter indicates that the IP address assignment of the Interface is fixed if the DHCP mode is not
used.
If the DHCP mode is used, the parameter is invalid.
The fixed IP address can be assigned in the follow parameter window “IP address”, see fig. 3.3.
Parameter “If you use private protocol, the port is”
The parameter is invalid for the IP interface. The port number of IP interface is set to 3671.
If you use private protocol, the port number can be set via the parameter, but the device will be used as a
convertor, instead of KNX IP Interface. See also the product BTIC-01/00.1. When the device is used as a
convertor, its function is same with the BTIC-01/00.1. The parameter defines the port number of the convertor,
the port number of client devices must be same with the convertor, or else their communications will fail.

3.2 Parameter window “IP address”

Parameter window “IP address” is shown in fig. 3.3. Here set network connection information, such as IP
address, Subnet mask and Default gateway.
If the IP Interface use DHCP mode, the parameters are invalid in the window.

Fig 3.3 parameter window “IP address”

Parameter “IP address”

The parameter defines the IP address of the IP Interface, the IP address is unique on the LAN, to avoid
collide. Option:
Byte x: 0…255
The IP address should be entered in a byte-by-byte manner, e.g. as follows for address 192.168.1.10:
Byte1: 192
Byte2: 168
Byte3: 1
Byte4: 10
Parameter “Subnet mask”
The parameter defines the subnet mask of the IP Interface. The subnet mask must be set to reflect the number
and structure of the subnet. Option:
Byte x: 0…255
In a small network the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 should be set as follows:
Byte1: 255
Byte2: 255
Byte3: 255
Byte4: 0
Parameter “default gateway”
The parameter defines the default gateway. The default gateway must be the same network segment with the
IP address. Option:
Byte x: 0…255
The default gateway 192.168.1.1 should be set as follows:
Byte1: 192
Byte2: 168
Byte3: 1
Byte4: 1
