Function of the converter
For certain activities, the converter sends a defined data packet in the UDP protocol on the RS-485
bus via the Ethernet network. A receiver (data sink) can interpret this data packet and set a
defined event. The converter supports three protocol types: rare, home, and multi. Configuration of
the protocol type and the network settings is carried out using the
ekey home converter LAN config
software.
The converter functions in conjunction with the following ekey control panels:
□
ekey home CP WM 1
□
ekey home CP WM 3
□
ekey home CP IN 1
□
ekey home CP IN 2
