CONFIGURATION
ZMCoup RF
is intended for the interconnection between a KNX bus and a RF network.
This device can be used as a line coupler (for coupling both a RF line to a mainline)
and as a RF retransmitter.
2.1
ZMCoup RF AS RF/TP COUPLER
ZMCoup RF can be used as a
line coupler
(for coupling both a line
to a mainline) or
as an
area coupler
(for coupling a main line to an area line, also referred to as
backbone line
). The operation on both cases is analogous
– being a line coupler or an
area coupler only depends on the location of the device within the topology.
Figure 3 shows a typical scenario where ZMCoup RF can be installed as any of the
nodes the nodes labelled as
“AC” (area coupler) or “LC” (line coupler):
Coupling an area line and a main line requires an
area coupler
(AC).
ZMCoup RF is intended for cases where the medium of the former is TP
while the medium of the latter is RF.
Coupling a main line and a line requires a
line coupler
(LC). ZMCoup RF is
intended for cases where the medium of the former is TP while the medium of
the latter is RF.
