Description
USB/KNX Interface
The ekinex® USB/KNX interface EK-BA1-TP allows to
establish a bidirectional data connection between a PC
and a KNX bus installation. The device enables addressing,
parameter setting, visualization, protocolling and
diagnosis of KNX bus devices. With the USB/KNX interface
every bus device of a KNX bus installation can
be addressed. The communication between the USB/
KNX interface and the connected devices is handled via
the common EMI protocol. This protocol is designed for
actual and future applications. The connection between
KNX and PC running standard software like ETS, EITT
and other software is handled by the FALCON driver. The
device supports long messages (up to 228 byte length)
and ensures an easy handling of the software with operating
systems not supported by the FALCON driver (e.g.
Linux). For specific diagnostic applications like EITT the
device is supporting a "Raw Frame" operating mode.
