KNX-IP Interface Product code: EK-BB1-TP
KNX-IP Router Product code: EK-BC1-TP
KNX device with interface function to connect to the LAN
for programming and/or supervision of the KNX bus
system.
With IP Router version it is possible to connect multiple
KNX bus lines through the LAN with a two-way
communication. Suitable for KNX installations for control
of houses and buildings.
Description
The Ekinex® EK-BB1-TP IP interface realizes the
bidirectional data link between a PC or laptop and a KNX
system via LAN. The interface supports IP tunneling
protocol and enables addressing, setting parameters,
viewing and diagnosis of KNX devices via ETS. The
device has an integrated KNX bus communication
module and is designed for 35mm rail mounting. Power is
supplied via the KNX bus.
The Ekinex® EK-BC1-TP IP router realizes the
bidirectional data link between a PC or laptop and a KNX
system via LAN. The interface supports IP tunneling
protocol and enables addressing, setting parameters,
viewing and diagnosis of KNX devices via ETS.
The IP router also integrates the function of a line
coupler; telegrams can be exchanged between TP bus
lines through a bridge over TCP/IP. The device has an
integrated KNX bus communication module and is
designed for 35mm rail mounting.
Four LEDs show with precision the status of both KNX
and Ethernet bus lines; this helps to find common
communication problems caused to bus overload or
multiple transmission on both lines.
The device is powered by a 30 Vdc SELV voltage via the
KNX bus and does not require auxiliary power but, when
sizing the bus line, you need to consider this as a supply
equivalent to 4 devices of 10 mA.

Command elements
•Function pushbutton (B)
- Long press (3 seconds): switch to manual control.
The default function is set with LAN line and KNX
line parameters through ETS.
- Very long press (15 seconds): all LEDs are red.
Release button and press again for some seconds:
resets all the parameter to factory default (incl.
physical address).
Display elements
•LAN status LED (1)
- off: LAN error or line not connected
- on (green): LAN normal operation
- on (red): manual override active
•KNX status LED (2)
- off: KNX error or line not connected
- on (green): KNX normal operation
•LAN traffic LED (3)
- off: no data exchange on LAN line
- blinking (green): data exchange active on LAN
- blinking (red): LAN transmission error
•KNX traffic LED (4)
- off: no data exchange on KNX line
- blinking (green): data exchange active on KNX
- blinking (red): KNX transmission error
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20, and is
therefore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The
housing is made for rail mounting according to EN 60715
in boards or cabinets for electrical distribution. The
installation is in horizontal position; the correct position is
when the KNX bus terminals are located at the bottom.
For the installation of the device on the rail proceed as
follows:
•with the aid of a tool bring the locking device in the fully
lowered position (1);
•place the upper edge of the rear inner profile on the
•upper edge of the rail (2);
•rotate the device towards the rail (3);
•push the locking device upward until it stops (4).
Before removing the device, be sure the bus terminals
have been extracted from their slots. Use a screwdriver
to slide down the locking device and remove the device
from the rail.
Note. When mounting the device in boards and cabinets it
shall be provided the necessary ventilation so that the
temperature can be kept within the operating range of the
device.
Connection of the KNX bus line and LAN
The connection to the KNX bus line is made by the
terminal blocks (black/red) included in the supply and
inserted into the slots located on the bottom part of the
front.
The connection to the LAN line is made via the RJ45
terminal connected to an Ethernet cable (minimum
category 5E –not supplied).
Warning! In order to supply the KNX bus line, use
only a KNX bus power supply (e.g. ekinex EK-
AB1- TP or EK-AG1-TP). The use of other power
supplies can compromise the communication
and damage the devices connected to the bus.

Characteristics of the KNX terminal block
•Spring clamping of conductors
•4 seats for conductors for each polarity
•Terminal suitable for KNX bus cable with single-wire
conductors and diameter between 0.6 and 0.8 mm
•Recommended wire stripping approx. 5 mm
•Color codification: red = + (positive) bus conductor,
black = - (negative) bus conductor
Warning! The electrical connection of the device
can be carried out only by qualified personnel.
The incorrect installation may result in electric
shock or fire. Before making the electrical
connections, make sure the power supply has
been turned off.

Configuration and commissioning
Configuration and commissioning of the device require
the use of the ETS® (Engineering Tool Software)
program V5 or later releases. These activities must be
carried out according to the design of the building
automation system done by a qualified planner.
Configuration
For the configuration of the device parameters the
corresponding application program or the whole ekinex®
pro- duct database must be loaded in the ETS program.
For detailed information on configuration options, refer to
