Set-up procedure
1. Install Intesis MAPS on your laptop, use the set-up program supplied for this and follow the instructions given by
the Installation wizard.
2. Install Intesis in the desired installation site. Installation can be on DIN rail or on a stable not vibrating surface
(DIN rail mounted inside a metallic industrial cabinet connected to ground is recommended).
3. Connect the KNX communication cable coming from the KNX network to the port marked as Port A on Intesis
(More details in section 0).
4. If using, Modbus RTU, connect the communication cable coming from the EIA485/EIA232 port of the Modbus
RTU installation to the port marked as Port B of Intesis (More details in section 0).
If using, Modbus TCP, connect the communication cable coming from the Ethernet port of the Modbus TCP
installation to the port marked as Port B of Intesis (More details in section 0).
5. Power up Intesis. The supply voltage can be 9 to 30 Vdc or just 24 Vac. Take care of the polarity of the supply
voltage applied.
WARNING!
In order to avoid earth loops that can damage Intesis and/or any other equipment connected to
it, we strongly recommend:
•
The use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to earth.
Never use a
DC power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth
.
•
The use of AC power supplies only if they are floating and not powering any other device.
6. If you want to connect using IP, connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Ethernet
of
Intesis (More details in section 0).
If you want to connect using USB, connect the USB cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Console
of
Intesis (More details in section 0).
7. Open Intesis MAPS, create a new project selecting a copy of the one named
IBOX-MBS-KNX
.
8. Modify the configuration as desired, save it and download the configuration file to Intesis as explained in the
Intesis MAPS user manual.
9. Visit the Diagnostic section and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and some other RX
frames. This means that the communication with the KNX installation and Modbus Master devices is OK. In case
there is no communication activity between Intesis and the KNX and/or Modbus devices, check that those are
operative: check the baud rate, the communication cable used to connect all devices and any other
communication parameter.
