Communication drivers for electrical systems and room automation
Compatibility
As of 2012, the tried-and-tested SIEMENS® Gamma Instabus interfaces are no longer available. The actual devices are no more
fully compatible. The interface from «Weinzierl Engineering GmbH» are recommended as a replacement.
Ethernet Gateways
When planning, it is important to take into consideration that some available Ethernet gateways usually only support one
communication channel. As a result, every PCD or service tool, ETS for example, needs its own interface to the KNX-Bus.
Serial converter
However, connecting using BCU-1 protocols is strictly advised against. The BCU-1 protocol can cause telegrams to be lost
between the gateway and the controller.
Communication drivers
An efficient networking of building services requires multi-
service functions and components for communicating with
external devices. The KNX communication driver is a PG5 FUPLA
library with comprehensive function modules (FBoxes) for
sending and receiving almost all of KNX data types (DPT).
Depending on which interface is available for accessing the KNX
network (RS-232 or Ethernet), the selected components can be
linked to either Saia PCD® or PCS systems.
The direct connection via Ethernet makes access to KNX data
even quicker and more powerful.
Features
Use of drivers for all SBC automation stations
Simple communication using Fulpa modules
Comprehensive support of KNX Data Point Types (DPT)
The drivers support the simple restructuring of existing
systems with KNX-BCU1 on the KNX-BCU2 interface
Standard UDP/IP port: #3671
Communication drivers for:
Serial KNX BCU-1 interfaces via RS-232
(not recommended for new products)
Serial KNX BCU-2 interfaces via RS-232
KNXnet/IP (EIBnet/IP) communication
