1. Introduction
The XNC KNX provides the functionality for an IQ3 Controller to be able to communicate with a
KNX network. The IQ3 Controller will be able to read 130 different KNX variables and write
another 70 KNX variables.
The 200 KNX variables available to the IQ3 Controller can be combined with your KNX network
in the ETS3 software.
With the XNC KNX comes a piece of hardware which works as a gateway between the IQ3
Controller and the KNX network. The gateway is called the XNC KNX Gateway.

2. XNC KNX Gateway
The XNC KNX Gateway hardware has the following layout.
1. RJ45 connector for ethernet network with the IQ3 Controller
2. Power for the XNC KNX Gateway. 24V DC
3. Short circuit these two connectors equals KNX Program Address button press
4. Insert two wires for the Twisting Pair connection to the KNX network
One red wire and one black wire
The XNC KNX Gateway should be mounted on a DIN rail.
Dimensions of the XNC KNX Gateway. The units are millimeters.
•Height 100 mm
•Width 75 mm
•Depth 70 mm

2.1. XNC KNX Gateway settings
There is a webpage server on the XNC KNX Gateway. It is possible to configure the several
different settings. The XNC KNX Gateway is preprogrammed with a static IP of 10.0.0.149. To
enter the webpage use the following link.
http://10.0.0.149
The address will be different if the IP has been changed on the XNC KNX Gateway.
There is needed a login for entering the webpages to configure the different settings. Following
users are created on the XNC KNX Gateway.
User: admin
Password: wago
In the settings it is possible to setup the network configuration under TCP/IP or change the user
access on XNC KNX Gateway webpages under Security.

3. XNC download
The KNX XNC driver consists of two files:
●.xnc file – Application file
●.xnp file – Configuration file
Quick list for the installation:
1. Download the strategy with the .xnp file
2. Download the .xnc file
p. 6
3.1. Download the strategy with the . np file
Start up SET (System Engineering Tool) and open your strategy. Right-click on the strategy with
the mouse and you will get a menu popping up. In the menu choose “Device”->”XNC Interface
Module”.
XNC Interface module is opened then press the “...” button which can be seen in the next
screenshot marked by a red ring. There will be an open dialog and you can choose the .xnp file.
Now download the strategy to the Trend Controller.
p. 7
3.2. Download the . nc file
Switch to “System View” and find the Trend Controller. Right-click on it and choose “Download
IQ3/XNC Application”. This will open a new dialog where you press the “Open File” button and an
open dialog will appear which is used to find the .xnc file.
Now press the download button and the KNX XNC driver will be installed on the Trend Controller
but still needs configuration.

6. XNC Configuration
The XNC KNX is configured in the XNC Interface Module.
1. The Stores are the configuration for the XNC KNX.
Gateway_IP is the IP address of the XNC KNX Gateway
2. The XNC Inputs are the IQ3 Controller's inputs to the KNX network. XNC KNX variables
will be written to the KNX network.
4 Knobs are connected to Write – Switch 1 to 4 in this example. The 4 Knobs will be able
to set 4 switches in the KNX network.
3. The XNC Outputs are the outputs from the KNX network to the IQ3 Controller. A XNC
KNX variable will present a read value from the KNX network.
XNC Output 1 and 2 shows status for the XNC KNX connection to the KNX network.
Status – Gateway connected can be 0 or 1
1 means there is a connection from the XNC KNX to the XNC KNX Gateway
0 means that the connection failed
Status – KNX connected can be 0 or 1
1 means that the XNC KNX Gateway is connected to the KNX network
0 means that the connection to the KNX network failed
2 Sensors are connected to Read – Switch 1 to 2 in this example. The 2 Sensors will be
able to show the status of 2 switches from the KNX network.

7. ETS3 Configuration
In ETS3 you start by installing software support for the XNC KNX Gateway. The ETS3 software
support for the XNC KNX Gateway is a .zip file and can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.electrocom.dk/downloads/ETS3/XNC_KNX_Gateway.zip
The software support is installed by doing the following in the ETS3:
File → Import...
This will open a dialog box where you will choose the .vd5 file contained in the .zip file.
1. Select the TP1-Module (XNC KNX Gateway). Set the checkbox
2. Press Import button
3. Wait for the XNC KNX Gateway software to be installed in ETS3
The XNC KNX Gateway software is now installed in ETS3 and you will be able to setup your KNX
network with the IQ3 Controller (XNC KNX).
p. 16
7.1. Add and configure XNC KNX Gateway
You will get the following dialog box when you add a device in ETS3.
To add the XNC KNX Gateway follow these instructions:
1. Choose WAGO Kontakttechnik
2. Choose Modules
3. Choose TP1-Module
4. Choose Twisted Pair
5. Press Find button and mark the TP1-Module which will have occured
6. Press Insert button
The XNC KNX Gateway is now added as a device called TP1-Module.
Two configuration files are needed for the XNC KNX Gateway and they are part of the zip file with
the XNC drivers. Start the configuration with a right click on the device representing the XNC
KNX Gateway in ETS3.
Mouse right click → Edit Parameters...
1. Press Browse button. Find the XNC_KNX_GATEWAY.SYM_XML file and open
2. Press Import button.
p. 17
Now it is very important to import the configuration file before setting anything else up.
1. Press File → Import configuration...
2. Open the file XNC_KNX_Gateway_config.xml and press Yes button.
The XNC KNX Gateway is now added to your KNX network and configured.
p. 18
7.2. Connect the XNC KNX datapoints to the KNX network
You can now setup the KNX variables from the IQ3 Controller with the rest of the KNX network.
1. Find a KNX variable from the XNC KNX
2. Drag and drop the XNC KNX variable into the KNX network
3. Press Save button when finished connecting XNC KNX variables to KNX network
p. 19
7.3. Download KNX configuration
The KNX configuration needs to be downloaded to the XNC KNX Gateway. Start by right click on
the XNC KNX Gateway.
Mouse right click → Download...
1. Press Program Address & Application button
2. Dialog waiting for press on the KNX Program Address button on the XNC KNX Gateway
3. The XNC KNX Gateway is programmed with the KNX network configuration
If the address already is programmed on the XNC KNX Gateway then it is enough to only press
Download Application Program button under instruction 1.
