Commissioning – Now you can do it yourself
In every GAMMA instabus project, the devices are commissioned once they have been installed. First you need to assign the physical addresses. To do this, select the device in the ETS3 (KNX commissioning software) on your notebook and press the programming pushbutton on the device. In the case of distributed devices, such as flush mounting bus coupling units, this means: a lot of running around. One reason why these commissioning tasks are usually carried out in pairs.
But now you no longer have to go to all this trouble. Simply wirelessly connect your notebook to the KNX over W-LAN. And now you are free to roam during the commissioning process - simply take your notebook with you, wherever it's needed. It really couldn't be any quicker or easier. And there is no risk of errors, such as mixing up the devices due to ambiguous calling.
The solution
The benefits
- Wireless GAMMA instabus commissioning over W-LAN
- Freedom of movement within the building
- Single-person commissioning
Proceed as follows
Connect the IP interface to the KNX, connect the W-LAN router to the IP interface using the Ethernet cable – and you're off - free to roam the entire building with your notebook and the ETS.
You require the following
- N 148/22 IP interface (5WG1 148-1AB22)
- 24 V power supply for N 148/221 IP interface
(e.g. 4AC2 402 Power over Ethernet, unchoked bus voltage) - Ethernet
- W-LAN router
- W-LAN-capable notebook
- ETS3 (current versionseewww.knx.org)
Note:
W-LAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network, which is a network for transferring data. W-LANs are quick and easy to install, cover large areas and operate cost-effectively.
