Ethernet communication router EK-IF1-SEC-TP

Description
The Ekinex® EK-IF1-SEC-TP IP router provides bidirectional data communication between a PC (or laptop) and a KNX TP bus via a LAN. The IP interface supports tunneling and enables addressing, parameterization, monitoring, logging and diagnostics of KNX bus devices via ETS. The router integrates a line/area coupler function so telegrams can be exchanged between KNX TP lines over a TCP/IP backbone. The device includes an integrated KNX bus communication module and is designed for 35 mm DIN-rail mounting. Power is supplied via the KNX bus.
