KNX news

IntesisBox® introduces a new generation of BACNet/IP-KNX gateways, and this is only the beginning of what is to come soon. These gateways have been completely updated and are very powerful. The new BACNet/IP-KNX Gateway inherits the top features of its predecessor and also includes a lot of new and interesting properties. Let us highlight some of them:


- A completely B-AAC profile (BTL certified) on the BACNet side.
- Full support of KNX standard’s DPTs, with the possibility to import your KNX project from the ETS.
- Indication LEDs situated on the upper side of the gateway with relevant information on the gateway’s configuration statuses.
- USB port located on the upper side for easy connection.
- New configuration software totally redesigned, that offers a new concept of integration while keeping its highly appreciated diagnostic and troubleshooter tools.

We introduce you the BACnet/IP Server gateway for integration of KNX systems into BACnet control systems.

The BACnet side
IntesisBox acts as a BACnet/IP server device in its BACnet interface, allowing other BACnet IP client devices read and write its internal points.

The KNX side
IntesisBox simulates a KNX device and acts as if it was one more device into the KNX system. The IntesisBox’s KNX interface connects directly to the KNX bus.

Any point in IntesisBox can be configured individually for different functionality.

For each point, one main group address and different listening group addresses can be defined. This useful feature allows actions on the same internal point from multiple KNX group addresses.

Configuration
IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server series are configured using LinkBoxBacnet, a software tool for Windows which is supplied along with the purchase of IntesisBox with no additional cost.
With the installation of LinkBoxBacnet, a demo project for integration of KNX system is also installed, making the installation easy and quick.

For more information we recommend you to download the datasheet from the following link.
