See basic documentation "Communication via KNX bus" (P3127) for a detailed
description of communications.
The following section only describes the most important settings to commission
simple communications.
13.1 Enable communication
Device communication is enabled when:
The device address is entered
(each bus member requires an individual device address).
Bus power supply is available.

Each bus member requires a unique device address.
Device address
Device address 255 is used to disable communications
(no exchange of process data).
Notes
If two devices on the KNX bus have the same device address, fault message
">1 identical device address" is displayed.
For small plants, decentralized bus power supply suffices.
Decentral bus power
supply
This is the default setting.
See documents N3127 and P3110 on decentralized bus supply.
Notes
Fault message "No bus power supply" is displayed and communications
interrupted if there is no bus supply.
Access using Service tool OCI700.1 is only possible if communications is
enabled.
