1.1. Communication Objects
IPR100 has no KNX communication objects.
1.2. IPR1000 as Programming Interface
IPR100 can be used together with the ETS as a programming interface. The device provides an
additional physical address for this purpose which can be used for a tunneling connection.
1.3. Tunneling
The presence of the Internet Protocol (IP) has led to the definition of KNXnet/IP.
KNXnet/IP provides the means for point-to-point connections -KNXnet/IP Tunnelling- for ETS and/or
between a supervisory system and a KNX installation.
KNXnet/IP Device Management provides configuration of KNXnet/IP devices through the KNX network
effectively reducing the time required for configuration.
1.4. Routing
Routing is how lines or areas may interconnect using IP networks via KNXnet/IP.
KNXnet/IP Routing defines how KNXnet/IP routers communicate with each other using IP networks.
1.5. Coupler
The basic functionality of IPR100 is coupling the Ethernet with KNX-TP line(s).
IPR100 provides galvanic isolation between the two connected lines.
Due to the flexibility of IPR100, the coupler can be used as a line coupler e.g. to connect trough
Ethernet several TP lines together, as a backbone coupler to connect trough Ethernet several TP areas
or to connect different TP installations/systems.
The main task of IPR100 is filtering the traffic according the installation place in the hierarchy or
according to the built-in filter tables for group oriented communication.
The IPR100 provides outstanding features compared to other similar products, for example support
for long messages (up to 250 byte length) and a configurable one button activation of special functions
(e.g. transmit all group telegrams). These are helpful during installation, during run time and for
trouble shooting. The high informative 6 duo LED display shows accurate the bus status on each line.
This helps identifying common communication problems due to bus load or retransmissions on both
lines.
