5.4 Communication parameters
In this section we define the basic communication parameters for the KNX TP network and for Ethernet
connection. Ethernet connection is required in order to both perform the configuration update on the device
and for Profinet communication.
Figure 8 – Set communication form
You can access the form by pressing the
Set Communication
button in the main form (see Figure 2 – Main

Description
KNX
Type
KNX TP
Type of connection used for KNX communication. The parameter has a
constant value “KNX TP”. The device supports KNX communicaton over a
twisted pair communication cable.
ID Device
This parameter identifies the physical address assigned to the KNX device.
The format requires the use of a dot “.” as a separator beween the 3 fields:
area, line and device address. Here are the conventions used for physical
addressing and the values used for each field:
Area field: = 0 reserved for backbone, values [1...15]
Line field: = 0 reserved for main line, values [1...15]
Device address field: = 0 reserved for coupler, values [1...255], range [1..64]
for devices belonging to the line, above 64 for device belonging to extensions
or other segments of the line.
Example: 1.3.5: Area = 1; Line = 3; Device address = 5.
PROFINET
IP ADDRESS
IP Address (4-octet format) assigned to the device. Each octet is set in an Edit
box. Default IP Address is:
192.168.2.205
. This is the address assigned to the
device before the first configuration or after a complete restore.
SUBNET Mask
Subnet mask assigned to the device.
GATEWAY
Gateway address used for Ethernet communication. The gateway can be
enabled or disabled through the control check-box placed at the right side of
the field.
Port
34964
Port used for Profinet communication
