The KNX bus integration makes connections between primary controls (heating, ventilation, energy production) and secondary control (zones, rooms) easy, and helps to bring the KNX variables to SCADA where the values may be further processed using trending, alarming, logging and the like. The input linear transform („Kx + Q“) in Merbon IDE must be set accordingly. Note that the temperature in Register 2 shows 22 ☌ multiplied by 10 to achieve resolution of one decimal position. The ModComTool communication for the configuration shown above looks like this: Domat ModComTool) before configuring the devices in Merbon IDE. It is recommended to test the communication using a general Modbus client (e.g. In the variables table, for each Modbus register there is the KNX value type (EIS), variable address, KNX read / write rights, variable format, Modbus register number, and for binary values access over Modbus bit-oriented functions, and Modbus read / write rights.Īfter the configuration (or „project“) has been uploaded to the converter, establishing of communication is a matter of several seconds.

The IntesisBox configuration using the LinkBoxMB software (supplied free of charge together with the converter) is fairly easy and consists of converter parameters settings (IP address and other network parameters, if Modbus TCP is used, RS232 or RS485, if serial interface is used), converter KNX address, and several other parameters, and of course of the Modbus table definition with addresses and variables properties at the KNX bus, which correspond to the Modbus registers. Only one Modbus connection type can be used simultaneously, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU EIA485, or Modbus RTU EIA232, this must be configured within LinkBoxMB software. Modbus TCP offers higher data throughput in general, and therefore is more suitable for larger projects.Ī Modbus RTU topology is usually used at smaller sites, or at PLCs which do not provide Modbus TCP channels. When choosing between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU, the required response time, PLC capabilities, and number of variables. The KNX engineer shall provide to the BMS engineer a table with variables to be integrated, together with their KNX addresses and data types, e.g.: One of the devices to complete this task is the IntesisBox IBOX-MBS-KNX-100 converter which is able to integrate up to 100 KNX variables and present them in a Modbus table.

If there is a building control system installed on the premises, it may be useful to bring all data to a common SCADA or even to interconnect both systems on the automation level. Intesis intesisbox modbus server (rtu / tcp) - knx (3000 points) Welcome to Futurasmus KNX Group. The KNX bus is most often installed in residential objects like family houses, but also on office buildings for illumination and blinds control, or heating and air-conditioning of individual rooms. The values received from Modbus become available to be read by the KNX system and vice-versa.Integration of a KNX bus into Domat controllers
Also, listen for any KNX telegram related to the internal points configured in it and acts accordingly to the configuration of the related point.įrom the Modbus system point of view, after the start-up process, the gateway listens for any read or write request, and serves any read request or performs any writing request of its internal points received from Modbus system. More on how KNX is helping integrators and homeowners alike during this supply chain crisis. How KNX and Ivory Egg are overcoming supply chain issues when other systems can’t.
This year you can choose the winner in the Peoples Choice Award and the KNX Product Award categories. The IntesisBox Gateway has been specially designed to allow bidirectional control and monitoring of all parameters and functionalities of KNX installations from a Modbus BMS, SCADA, PLC or any other device working as a Modbus Master.įrom the KNX system point of view, in the start-up process of the gateway and also after a detection of a KNX bus reset, the gateway polls the KNX signals configured to be updated in this situation and maintain the received values in memory to be served to the Modbus system when requested. 2022 KNX Awards - Peoples Choice Award - open for voting.
