2UIMip PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Apricum IP interface UIMip is a tunneling
1
device and connects a personal computer to
the KNX TP bus. The device uses no KNX communication objects for itself. With the ETS
or with another KNX compatible commissioning tool the UIMip can be used as
the programming interface. For this purpose the device provides up to four additional physical
addresses
2
that can be used for tunneling connections.
Four LEDs and two buttons are located on the front panel as illustrated below. The device
offers diagnostic features by displaying all operational states with combined LEDs
(see Operational Description). The LEDs indicate details concerning the bus state, traffic on
the KNX bus, error/faulty communication NACK, BUSY on the bus, etc.

Information basics about tunnelling and device management: The presence of the Internet
Protocol (IP) has led to the definition of KNXnet/IP. KNXnet/IP provides the means
for point-to-point connections like “KNXnet/IP Tunneling” for ETS and/or between
a supervisory system and a KNX installation. The KNXnet/IP Device Management provides
configuring KNXnet/IP devices via the KNX network effectively. Additionally, with this
the time required for network configurations is reduced.

Please note that in this document the term “physical address” means the “physical address”
as well as the “individual address”. Both of these terms are used by the KNX organisation
interchangeably.In this document only the term “physical address” is used.

3APRICUM UIMip HIGHLIGHTS
The UIMip works without external power supply.
Picture 2: Connection diagram
The UIMip is one of the rare KNX IP interfaces on the market
that supports the extended frame format and long telegrams up to 240 bytes (APDU).
In combination with the Apricum line coupler “MECtp” long messages are made
possible (e.g. for energy metering applications).
With the ability to feature a tunneling protocol conversation, a connection point for the
ETS or other tools to enable commissioning and monitoring is provided (four parallel
connections are possible; one separate address for each connection). The ETS address
for tunneling is not necessarily the one which is already configured.
The great advantage of tunneling is using LAN as a fast medium to exchange telegrams
between the lines and/or areas.
The UIMip is featuring a high internal amount of communication buffers being capable
of smoothening peaks in the communication load course.
Using a high internal amount of communication buffers is suitable for networks with a
high bus load.
UPnP is available to discover the device in an IP network. In terms of topology, this is
only possible with a proper network installation. With the KNXnet/IP Search Request
the ETS can discover the device as communication interface.
The comfortable operation via a Web interface provides the option to modify a set
of tunneling addresses of the device and an opportunity to switch the “Program Mode”
on or off. Also the firmware can be updated via the Web Front-End.
The UIMip’s ETS database entries are available for the ETS3.0d and upward.
The UIMip supports KNXnet/IP, ARP, ICMP, IGMP, HTTP, UPnP discovery,
UDP/IP, TCP/IP, DHCP and AutoIP.

4OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The UIMip features two different modes, the “Normal Mode” and the “Boot Mode”.
In this chapter it is explained how to assign the individual physical address to the device and
how to carry out a factory reset or a firmware update.
4.1 NORMAL MODE
According either to the factory default settings or the latest parameter settings downloaded
from the ETS (also other tools) in normal operating mode the UIMip operates
as it is supposed to and LEDs 1, 2 light green.

4.1.1PROGRAMMING BUTTON AND PHYSICAL ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
To download the desired physical address or
a full ETS setting into the device, during the procedure
the programming button ( ) needs to be pressed.
(The programming button is used to put the device into
“Program Mode”). With the ETS the physical address can
be assigned to the device by setting the desired address in
the properties window of the ETS, starting the download
and pressing the programming button. After assignment
the device restarts itself. (A blinking red LED 5 indicates
that the Ethernet cable is not properly connected.)
To commission the device a PC with ETS and an interface
connection (IP, USB) to the databus is required. The
device is supplied with the individual physical address
15.15.255. The KNX product database entry (available for
ETS3 and higher) can be downloaded from our website or
the KNX Online Catalog App.

4.1.2FUNCTION BUTTON AND FACTORY RESET
The function button ( ) is used to execute a factory reset of the UIMip.
The factory reset is carried out by pressing the button for about 15 seconds (LEDs 1, 2 light
orange). After release, pressing it again until all LEDs turn off resets all parameters
to factory default settings (incl. physical address). Subsequently, after the automatic restart
of the device LEDs 1, 2 light green again indicating the normal operation status.
1. Long press of the function button (≈ 15 s) in “Normal Mode”
2. Short press of the function button (≈3 s)
4.2 BOOT MODE AND FIRMWARE UPDATE
As described for the “Normal Mode” the same factory reset procedure applies when the device
is in “Boot Mode”. Additionally, the UIMip exits the “Boot Mode”afterwards.
1. Long press of the function button (≈ 15 s) in “Boot Mode”
2. Short press of the function button (≈3 s)
When operating in “Boot Mode”, it is possible to update the UIMip’s firmware.
For more detailed information concerning the update procedure please refer to the section
Update. In order to switch from “Normal Mode” to “Boot Mode” it is necessary to begin
the firmware update procedure and use the “Request Update” button in the Web Front-End:
1. Press the programming button in “Normal Mode”
2. Press the function button
3. Press the “Refresh” button in the Update tab of the Web front-end
4. Press the “Request Update” button
While being in “Boot Mode” LED 1, 2 and 5 have the states as described here:
LED 1 Bus State LAN
Keeps on lighting green
LED 2 Bus State KNX
Blinking green
LED 3 Traffic LAN
Blinking green
LED 5 Programming
Keeps on lighting red
In general, there are three options to switch from “Boot Mode” back to “Normal Mode”:
Update the firmware (if you have a new firmware available for your UIMip).
Cancel the update procedure and reset the application by pressing the “Abort” button.
Wait 10 minutes until the device switches to “Normal Mode” automatically by itself.

4.3 KNX TELEGRAMS IN THE IP NETWORK
The UIMip can be used as an interface in a network installation field. In accordance with the
KNXnet/IP protocol specification the UIMip sends telegrams from theKNX network to the
IP network and vice versa. If the IP address is changed from the IP sideit might happen that the
ETS does no longer recognize the device. Then the connection canno longer be established
(Tunneling uses IP addresses!).
Please note:
As a precaution, always run a restart or change the IP address from the TP side.
If there are problems with the IP address assignment please ask your administrator.
According to the topology, the additional physical addresses for tunnelling always
have to be assigned in the range of sub line addresses. For more information about
the additional tunneling addresses please refer to Tunneling Addresses (Additional
Physical Addresses).
5APPLICATION DESCRIPTION
The IP Interface is designed for use in 10/100 BaseT networks compliant to IEEE802.3.
The device features an AutoSensing function and sets the baud rate (10 Mbit or 100 Mbit)
automatically. The IP address of the device can be received from a DHCP server.
For this purpose the ETS automatic assignment setting of the IP address is required.
If no DHCP server is found with this setting, the device starts an AutoIP procedure and
autonomously assigns an IP address. The IP address which the device receives during
its start-up (via DHCP or AutoIP) is retained until the next start-up (e.g. due to
switching on/off or reprogramming). If the IP address of the UIMip is supposed
to have a fixed assignment, in the ETS a fixed IP address (as well as a subnet mask and
a standard gateway) can be set.
