KNX EIB 485 Protocol communication driver

 

KNX EIB 485 Protocol communication driver is the driver to communicate with standard protocol(by 485) of KNX Association.

 

1. Read Settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of KNX EIB 485 Protocol communication driver.

Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM6), Baud Rate(38400), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to controller.

 

KNX EIB 485 Protocol communication driver read schedule

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) Use of periodic read – 1 = use, 0 = don't use.

2) Group address – Main.Sub.Device address separated by dot ( . ). example) 0.1.2.

3) Interval of periodic read – 0 ~ 600000 milli second( 1second = 1000).

4) Save start address for Communication Server – Saving start address of Communication Server.

5) Read Size – fixed to 1.

 

Read schedule example)

READ, 1, 1.2.1, 5000, 0, 1,
READ, 0, 1.2.2, 0, 1, 1,
READ, 0, 1.2.3, 0, 2, 1,
READ, 0, 1.2.4, 0, 3, 1,
READ, 0, 0.1.1, 0, 4, 1,
READ, 0, 0.1.2, 0, 5, 1,
READ, 0, 0.1.3, 0, 6, 1,
READ, 0, 0.2.1, 0, 7, 1,
READ, 0, 0.2.2, 0, 8, 1,
READ, 0, 0.2.3, 0, 9, 1,

 

KNX EIB 485 Protocol communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, DOUBLE, INT64 memory, but the data format are different.

 If you click the icon  in protocol option part, you can see the dialog box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set read schedule by using this part.

<Figure 2> Example of KNX EIB 485 Protocol communication driver¡¯s protocol option dialog box

You can set read schedule by using , ,  button and listbox of <Figure 2>.

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialog box of <Figure 2>, dialog box of <Figure 3> will be shown.

 

2. Writing settings

You can set KNX EIB 485 controller by using 'writing settings'. 

 

Digital Write

Digital write and analog write have the same setting parameters except output value and address.

 

Analog Write

Analog write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION             don't care.

3)  ADDRESS          don't care.

4)  Extra1                  Main.Sub.Device address separated by dot ( . ). example) 0.1.2.

5) Extra2                   selection of writing data type.

0 = bit unit,

1 = byte unit,

2 = word unit.

 

Write example 1)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:0.0.1,  Extra2 : 0

The setting parameter shown above is bit unit(On/Off) control example of 0 Main, 0 Sub, 1 Device address.

 

Write example 2)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:0.2.1,  Extra2 : 1

The setting parameter shown above is byte unit writing example of 0 Main, 2 Sub, 1 Device address.

 

Write example 3)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:1.2.3,  Extra2 : 1

The setting parameter shown above is word unit writing example of 1 Main, 2 Sub, 3 Device address.
