Coupling KNX lines
via Ethernet (LAN)
The new KNXnet/IP standard enables KNX telegrams to
be transmitted via Ethernet (LAN), which leads to new
appli cations and solutions.
Existing network infrastructure and technologies are used
to transmit KNX data over longer distances.
Connections between buildings and between floors can
be clearly and easily implemented with KNXnet/IP.
Benefits
■
LAN as the main and backbone line
■
Data can be transmitted over longer distances
■
Existing data network and components (LAN)
can be used
Follow these steps
■
Connect each KNX line with one IP router (instead of
a line coupler)
■
Connect the IP router via a multicast-enabled LAN
■
Commission each IP router just like a “conventional”
line/backbone coupler using ETS (Version 3 or later)
You will need
■
IP router, 1x per line, with an additional power supply
or Power-over-Ethernet, if necessary
■
Ethernet patch cable or LAN, depending on the size
■
ETS (Version 3 or later)
