Function
Media and segment couplers are the link between a specific KNX RF environment
(RF = Radio Frequency) and a wired KNX TP installation (TP = Twisted Pair).
With regard to the routing property of telegrams, media and segment couplers func-
tion like standard TP backbone/line couplers. This means that RF devices can com-
municate with TP devices via a media and segment coupler or (with additional IP
backbone couplers) with IP devices and vice versa. Media couplers possess filter
settings and filter tables. The exact function of the device is determined by the selec-
ted parameterization and by the physical address.
Optionally, the device can additionally or alternatively work as a repeater. A repeater
repeats the radio telegrams received in its RF line by retransmitting them immedi-
ately. This allows an extension of the range of a KNX RF installation, meaning that it
is possible to position RF devices as required in a building, even in the case of diffi-
cult transmission and reception conditions.
The media and segment coupler is a device which allows the media type RF on the
lower-level line and the media type TP on the higher-level line. The media and seg-
ment coupler can be configured and commissioned with the ETS version 5 or higher.
The segment coupler functionality is supported from ETS version 6.0.5. The device is
powered via a KNX TP bus connection (KNX voltage supply unit) or alternatively, via
a suitable external DC voltage supply unit in repeater operation.
