KNX-IP Interface
Product code: EK-BB1-TP
KNX-IP Router
Product code: EK-BC1-TP
KNX device with interface function to connect to the LAN
for programming and/or supervision of the KNX bus
system.
With IP Router version it is possible to connect multiple
KNX bus lines through the LAN with a two-way
communication. Suitable for KNX installations for control
of houses and buildings.
Description
The Ekinex® EK-BB1-TP IP interface realizes the
bidirectional data link between a PC or laptop and a KNX
system via LAN. The interface supports IP tunneling
protocol and enables addressing, setting parameters,
viewing and diagnosis of KNX devices via ETS. The
device has an integrated KNX bus communication
module and is designed for 35mm rail mounting. Power is
supplied via the KNX bus.
The Ekinex® EK-BC1-TP IP router realizes the
bidirectional data link between a PC or laptop and a KNX
system via LAN. The interface supports IP tunneling
protocol and enables addressing, setting parameters,
viewing and diagnosis of KNX devices via ETS.
The IP router also integrates the function of a line
coupler; telegrams can be exchanged between TP bus
lines through a bridge over TCP/IP. The device has an
integrated KNX bus communication module and is
designed for 35mm rail mounting.
Four LEDs show with precision the status of both KNX
and Ethernet bus lines; this helps to find common
communication problems caused to bus overload or
multiple transmission on both lines.
The device is powered by a 30 Vdc SELV voltage via the
KNX bus and does not require auxiliary power but, when
sizing the bus line, you need to consider this as a supply
equivalent to 4 devices of 10 mA.
