Product description
Connectors, buttons and LEDs description
With the SIMip data server, IP products that were not originally intended for
KNX connection can be connected to KNX. Several non-KNX devices with
suitable IP connectivity (TCP/IP) can become KNX-controlled. SIMip hereby
serves as extension for the connected IP unit.
SIMip supports up to 1024 objects. Operating modes RAW Mode, Inter-
operability Mode and Transparent Mode are available. The KNX-certified
communication system for conversion of KNX datapoint types is contained.
Properties of every group object can be configured separately. With a short
press on the Function button the IP device(s) linked to SIMip can be
disconnected. With a long button press SIMip can be reset to default settings.
SIMip is shown in the network. With a browser a comfortable front-end can be
accessed to read out device settings, remotely activate functions (Progr. Mode,
Linkage Reset) and download the IP configuration data. Also, the integrated
bootloader function enables remote firmware updates via IP/Ethernet.
SIMip is a rail-mounted device for installation in distribution boards on 35 mm
DIN rails. Supplied by the KNX bus line, the device does not require an
additional power supply. IP devices can be connected by a standard RJ45
connector directly, and also via Ethernet networks.
Requirements of Directives EMC, RoHS and LVD are met. Standards for
residential, commercial, and industrial environments are fulfilled. The full text of
