1. Introduction
This driver allows RTI integrators and programmers to hook up with the KNX/EIB infrastructure without
having deeper knowledge about KNX/EIB or certification. For proper driver configuration a list from the
ETS Configuration (KNX/EIB Infrastructure) specifying the group addresses and the data format is
sufficient. These parameters have to be transferred to the driver for the Integration Designer (ID) to create
the GUI (Graphical U
ser Interface) with the respective data. Every gateway can address up to 250 groups,
and each group can be configured for every function. For projects with more than 250 groups further
entities of gateways and drivers can be used. Theoretically there are no limits, except physical limits (ports
and memory of the RTI XP controller), but it is advisable to monitor load/performance to add further RTI
XP controllers, if necessary.
Driver Configuration:
Connection: Enter IP address and port (default 10002) of gateway. In addition enter the physical KNX
gateway address (example: 1.1.254 = area line element). This has not to be considered mandatorily in the
ETS configuration but must be unique in the KNX/EIB system. Additionally the correct area and the
respective line are to be selected.
KNX group 0-249: Enter group description, which is transmitted as system variable to ID, KNX/EIB device
group address and/or its properties, gateway data format matching the data format of the KNX/EIB
properties and the alternative to analyze feedback or not.
KNX event 0-9: Enter event description, which is transmitted as system variable to ID, KNX/EIB device
group address and/or its properties relating to the event, select the direction of the threshold, and enter
the integer value, which triggers the event multiplied by 1000. Note: For Boolean analysis the value 1000
is expected.
System Variables:
For debugging on integrator level the variable -Last Received Data- can be used. This also shows the
result when accessing the function –Check Connection-. In case a group address receives a feedback
value all associated variables are updated.
Functions:
There are the possibilities to set the respective group addresses either with the string / integer / Boolean
value and furthermore the group address can be recalled with the Get command. This is necessary if the
automatic device feedback or its properties are not configured in the KNX/EIB configuration. The
integrator himself must program a polling interval.
