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.

Command elements

•Function pushbutton (B)

- Long press (3 seconds): switch to manual control.

The default function is set with LAN line and KNX

line parameters through ETS.

- Very long press (15 seconds): all LEDs are red.

Release button and press again for some seconds:

resets all the parameter to factory default (incl.

physical address).

Display elements

•LAN status LED (1)

- off: LAN error or line not connected

- on (green): LAN normal operation

- on (red): manual override active

•KNX status LED (2)

- off: KNX error or line not connected

- on (green): KNX normal operation

•LAN traffic LED (3)

- off: no data exchange on LAN line

- blinking (green): data exchange active on LAN

- blinking (red): LAN transmission error

•KNX traffic LED (4)

- off: no data exchange on KNX line

- blinking (green): data exchange active on KNX

- blinking (red): KNX transmission error

Mounting

The device has degree of protection IP20, and is

therefore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The

housing is made for rail mounting according to EN 60715

in boards or cabinets for electrical distribution. The

installation is in horizontal position; the correct position is

when the KNX bus terminals are located at the bottom.

For the installation of the device on the rail proceed as

follows:

•with the aid of a tool bring the locking device in the fully

lowered position (1);

•place the upper edge of the rear inner profile on the

•upper edge of the rail (2);

•rotate the device towards the rail (3);

•push the locking device upward until it stops (4).

Before removing the device, be sure the bus terminals

have been extracted from their slots. Use a screwdriver

to slide down the locking device and remove the device

from the rail.

Note. When mounting the device in boards and cabinets it

shall be provided the necessary ventilation so that the

temperature can be kept within the operating range of the

device.

Connection of the KNX bus line and LAN

The connection to the KNX bus line is made by the

terminal blocks (black/red) included in the supply and

inserted into the slots located on the bottom part of the

front.

The connection to the LAN line is made via the RJ45

terminal connected to an Ethernet cable (minimum

category 5E –not supplied).

Warning! In order to supply the KNX bus line, use

only a KNX bus power supply (e.g. ekinex EK-

AB1- TP or EK-AG1-TP). The use of other power

supplies can compromise the communication

and damage the devices connected to the bus.

Characteristics of the KNX terminal block

•Spring clamping of conductors

•4 seats for conductors for each polarity

•Terminal suitable for KNX bus cable with single-wire

conductors and diameter between 0.6 and 0.8 mm

•Recommended wire stripping approx. 5 mm

•Color codification: red = + (positive) bus conductor,

black = - (negative) bus conductor

Warning! The electrical connection of the device

can be carried out only by qualified personnel.

The incorrect installation may result in electric

shock or fire. Before making the electrical

connections, make sure the power supply has

been turned off.
