Connect main and backbone lines over KNXnet/IP
With the new KNXnet/IP standard, KNX telegrams can be transmitted via Ethernet (LAN). This enables new applications and solutions. Existing network infrastructures and technologies are used to transmit KNXdata over greater distances.
Links between buildings and/or building levels can be clearly and easily implemented using KNXnet/IP.
The solution
The benefits
- LAN as main and backbone line
- Supports data transmission over greater distances
- Utilization of existing data networks and components (LAN)
Proceed as follows
- Connect a N 146/02 IP router to each KNX line (instead of an N 140/03 line coupler)
- Connect the N 146/02 IP router over a multicast-capable LAN
- Commission each N 146/02 IP router like a "conventional" line/backbone coupler using the ETS3.
You require the following
- N 146/02 IP router (5WG1 146-1AB02), 1 x per line
- 24 V power supply for N 146/02 IP Router
(e.g. 4AC2 402 Power over Ethernet, unchoked bus voltage) - Ethernet patch cable or LAN, depending on the size
- ETS3 (current versionseehttp://www.knx.org)
Note:
LAN stands for Local Area Network. In LANs, data transport is organized over the IP (Internet Protocol) – the standard network protocol on the Internet.
Multicast-capable: Multicast telegrams can simultaneously operate several IP devices in the LAN. In the case of network components (network switches, routers) this requires the appropriate configuration.
