Introduction
This document describes Synco’s communication concept on the basis of 8 plant
descriptions and specifies for every device the settings required for enabling commu-
nication.
The document can be used as a tutorial or commissioning tool for combined Synco
applications.
The document is structured as follows:
• Advantages offered by combined applications
This chapter gives a brief description of the KNX bus technology employed by the
Synco devices to communicate with each other.
• The communication concept
This chapter describes Synco’s communication concept and explains the prerequi-
sites and general points to be observed to ensure successful commissioning of
communication. This includes general information on the different types of bus
devices and helps to better understand the plant descriptions given below.
• Makeup of plant descriptions
This chapter explains the structure of the plant descriptions and gives an overview
of the plants described in this document.
• Plant descriptions
The descriptions of 8 plants are given below.
The document only describes and explains the communication settings required for
the various bus devices. To simplify matters, the plant descriptions are confined to 2
rooms and 1 KNX line. The descriptions represent examples with the help of which
communication and the settings to be made on the bus devices are explained.
For more detailed information about the configuration and the parameters to be set on
the controllers, refer to the relevant Application Sheets or the Basic Documentation
covering the individual devices.
For more information about the network structure, refer to the Basic Documentation
entitled “Synco communication via KNX bus”.

The do
cument uses 2 terms that should not be mixed up:
• “Application sheet” describes a standard application of a Synco controller. It con-
tains a detailed function description, the device list, the configuration and parameter
settings, the connection diagram, and the configuration diagram.
• “Plant description” is an application sheet describing the combination of standard
applications. The description only covers communication since the configuration
and parameter settings are already described in the respective application sheets.
