ADDRESS SETTINGS (VIRTUAL GROUP ADDRESSES)
Setting the limit for the virtual group addresses.
Figure 23 Address setting (virtual group addresses)
The virtual group addresses start by default (factory setting) with the group address 16/0/0 and go up
to 31/7/255.
If the "virtual group addresses" checkbox are activated, the range of the virtual group addresses can be
set individually if required.
To do this, enter the first KNX group address for the virtual group address range in the "Start of virtual
group addresses" field.
This makes sense on the one hand if more KNX group addresses are required which can be sent on the
KNX bus - but at the same time not to do without the virtual group address range in order to keep the
telegram load on the KNX bus low.
For example, the start of the "virtual group addresses" can be set to 31/0/0. In this configuration, the
APP
MODULE sends all group addresses up to 30/7/255 on the KNX bus and from group address
31/0/0 to 31/7/255 only internally.
If the virtual group addresses are deactivated ("Virtual group addresses" checkbox), the
APP
MODULE
sends all group addresses (from 0/0/0 to 31/7/255) to the KNX bus without exception.
Information: Telegrams from the virtual address range are not sent to the KNX bus, but can be used for
internal communication in the
APP
MODULE.
