Gateway interface module EK-BK1-TP

DIN railKNXDMX

Device working as a gateway (protocol conversion) between a DMX network and a KNX (TP) network. Mounting in distribution board on EN 60715 rail (4 modular units, each 18 mm). To be used in KNX installations for home and building automation. Electrically insulated RS485 serial communication port, 1-way DIP switch to activate the line terminator (120 Ohm) DMX master communication 250 kbaud communication speed Device addressing from 0 to 512 1 byte register writing on a maximum of 512 DMX devices KNX TP (twisted pair) 9600 baud communication port, electrically insulated from power supply Volatile support memory with �image KNX� buffer of 1440 bytes KNX device with gateway function (protocol conversion) between a serial RS485 network (Master function) with DMX protocol and a KNX TP network over a twisted pair communicaton cable. Ideal application in integration of DMX devices over a RS485 serial network in a KNXbased automation system for homes and buildings. The DMX ekinex® EK-BK1-TP gateway is a KNX modular unit for panel mounting. It allows you to exchange informations with one or more slave devices over a RS485 differential serial network through DMX protocol. The ekinex gateway acts as DMX master. The informations exchanged over the DMX network are updated over the KNX network by means of a twisted pair (TP) communication cable. The device manages a one-way data stream: up to 12 bytes of KNX data are defined, each one associated with a device over the DMX network. The gateway converts the data coming from KNX master and writes its value on the corresponding DMX device.
