The IPAS router KNXnet/IP allows the connection between different lines /areas in a KNX installation, using an IP network as main line / area. Through an IP network, we can increase the telegrams traffic in the main line or area line.

This KNX router has an embedded web server for showing the routing state (sent telegrams, received telegrams, etc…), allows up to 5 simultaneous KNXnet/IP Tunneling connections and 1 KNXnet/IP Object server connection.

We strongly recommend this device due to its price functionality ratio, so we encourage you to include it in your future projects.

Futurasmus KNX Group is glad to introduce its new Webinar platform. We intend to offer a series of very interesting KNX product trainings for professionals in the field. The courses will have a technical profile and will be imparted by experienced KNX tutors.

In the first place, our senior KNX Tutor Stephan Erasmus will be offering a 8-hour course on CBSE Evolution (IPAS visualization solution) both in English and in Spanish.

CBSE is much more than only an advanced solution for KNX visualizations. It can be compared with a multi-protocol SCADA system that can be used as a BMS (Building Management System). Furthermore, it is highly recommendable for using it as a KNX visualization in homes, since its user interface is completely customizable and has pre-designed elements to allow an aesthetic composition with different styles and astounding features.

Moreover, several available modules help upgrade its functionality: especially interesting are the Smart Metering modules.

There will be practical exercises with virtual machines for all participants.

Participants will receive an official “CBSE Product Training certificate” + the possibility to purchase an integrators version (only available for certificate holders) with all additional modules at a very special price.

It is free of charge and you can download the program here.
