1INTRODUCTION
Product: KNXEASY
Application: ASCII Gateway
Type: REG (DIN Rail mounted)
KNXEASY is a device for DIN rail mounting with an electric power consumption of less than 5W.
Actually KNXEASY serves as a gateway between Ethernet LAN and KNX Twisted Pair.
All required software and hardware settings are already stored in the KNXEASY. No additional software is
needed for operation.
KNXEASY has its own user interface as a LCD display allowing to configure the device without a PC. It has
also a configuration web interface reachable from any updated browser. As KNXEASY device is connected
to LAN it may be operated from anywhere.
In addition KNXEASY can be a full substitution of an IP-Router. KNXnet/IP tunneling and routing can be
activated.
1.1 FUNCTION SURVEY
You do not require any special software to configure the KNXEASY. For basic requirements you can simply
use the LCD display and navigation buttons integrated to the device. Thus, a PC is not necessary.
For depth requirements the web interface allows you to sharpen your configuration and access to specific
functions. Any up-to-date standard-internet browser allows you to connect to your KNXEASY’s web
interface.
Following services and configuration are available from the LCD display:
Network configuration
General information and configuration (Name, location, Device info., Date and time, language …)
KNX configuration
Reset configuration to factory default
Update KNXEASY to a new version
Following services and configuration are available from the web interface:
Network configuration
General information and configuration (Name, location, Device info., Date and time, language …)
KNX configuration
Enable or disable services (Tunneling, Routing)
Connections configuration
Route table configuration
Clients simulation
1.2 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESENT
MANUAL
Please note that all information and images published in this manual are without liability. The software

2INITIAL OPERATION AND INSTALLATION
For initial operation of the device actually valid security information has to be paid attention to.
2.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Working on low-voltage systems and on the EIB is only allowed to trained and qualified personnel.
Installation and connection of the bus mains, the 12 –30 Volt DC mains as well as the integrated units,
have to be performed in accordance with current DIN VDE guidelines as well as the EIB-manual.
This component is intended to be installed for application in distribution boards resp. control panels and
can be used for installation in
Indoor applications,
Dry rooms,
Low-voltage distributors,
Mini-boxes
Doing so, you have to respect the environment-requirements, compliant with the protection class and
permitted operating temperature of the EIB-unit.
The line with integrated choke cannot be used as the operating voltage of 12-30 V DC.
Safety and regulatory compliance standards:
DIN EN 55024 Einrichtungen der Informationstechnik (equipments of information technology)
DIN EN 60950 Sicherheit von Einrichtungen der Informationstechnik. (safety of information
technology)
DIN EN 50090-2-2 Elektrische Systemtechnik für Heim und Gebäude (electrical systems for home
and buildings)
CE- qualification according to:
EMV- Richtlinie (Wohn- und Zweckbau) (EMV-guideline, residential- and functional building)
EN 50081-1
EN 50082-2
EN 50090-2-2
! Note - Functional security!
In case of special requirements regarding risks to life or property (functional safety), appropriate
additional measures have to be taken. These measures must have the necessary independence from
the operation of the KNXEASY and always have to be available.
Measures to reduce risk you can take from the Tables "Functional safety" of the "Building Control
Handbook, Fundamentals" from ZVEH / ZVEI.

NAVIGATION BUTTONS
Figure 4: Navigation buttons
(1) Up button (navigate to upper menu, decrease numbers, precedent letter of alphabet)
(2) Left button (go left for configuration of KNX and IP addresses, hosts, names …)
(3) Down button (navigate to lower menu, increase numbers, next letter of alphabet)
(4) Right button (go right for configuration of KNX and IP addresses, hosts, names …)
(5) OK button (navigate to next menu, confirm a configuration, get out of a pure informative field such
as “Device info” or “Free memory”)
(6) ESC button (navigate to precedent menu, erase a character of the string you are configuring such
as “Name” string or “Host” string, stop error/warning/info messages when they occur)
A long press on Up or Down button allows you to scroll faster.

SIGNAL LEDS
(1) Power LED
(2) Status LED
POWER LED
-The Power LED turns green when the device is totally started and usable.
-The Power LED turns red and back to green each time a telegram is received.
-During update process the power LED may blink red.
STATUS LED
-The Status LED turns green when the device is totally started and usable.
-The Status LED blinks red in case of error, warning or info messages.
-During update process the Status LED may blink red or yellow.
USB SOCKETS
Two USB sockets on the front and the bottom side are available on the KNXEASY. Both of them allow you to
plug a USB flash drive in order to update the KNXEASY.

2.3 INSTALLATION
When mounting the device and during the initial operation please take care and note the following
information to prevent any risk.
Attention!
Device may be destroyed in case of wrong use. Operations under voltage may cause residual
voltage. Before connecting the device please disconnect the installation environment from voltage.
Please pay attention, that KNXEASY is protected against polarity reversal, but not against surge
voltage. In case excessive voltage will be connected, KNXEASY can be destroyed.
GENERAL
Environment
Voltage: 12 - 30 Volt DC
Power consumption: <= 5 W
Climate persistent: acc to EN 50090-2-2
Ambient temperature: 0 - 45°C
Rel. humidity (not condensing): 5% - 80%
Plugging the device
Snap the device onto the top-hat rail acc to 60715
Power supply
Please care for sufficient performance when selecting the power supply. KNXEASY needs 300mA at 12 Volt
DC during the boot phase!
Connect the power supply according to the marking with the spring clips
For power supply, the non-choked output of an EIB-power supply can be used, if available. (Please consider
of adequate power reserves).
To supply the KNXEASY Power Over Ethernet (POE) can be used. Plug in the network cable (LAN) into the RJ
45- connector.
Ethernet
For programming the KNXEASY it is necessary to access via LAN. This can be done both using an existing
LAN network or via direct connection. Plug in the network cable (LAN) into the RJ 45- connector.
Prerequisites of the Client PC
If you need to configure KNXEASY with the web interface, a PC with network adapter and an up-to-date
browser is necessary.
ETS
KNXEASY does not require ETS application. However for the best use of KNXEASY, KNX group address
information are necessary. To import them into KNXEASY the ETS version 4 is needed.
The device warms up during operation. Take care about the maximum ambient temperature and for
sufficient thermal discharge. An error message will be displayed on the LCD display if the maximum
temperature (90°C) is reached. You can check the temperature on the LCD menu (see ”General”) or
in the web interface (see “Info”).
