1 Description
1.1 Introduction
This document describes the integration of KNX installations into ASCII serial (EIA232 or EIA485) or ASCII IP compatible
devices and systems using the Intesis ASCII Server –KNX gateway.
The aim of this integration is to make accessible KNX system signals and resources from any system capable to be
programmed to read and write simple text messages through EIA232 or EIA485 serial port or Ethernet TCP/IP port (for
example Extron, LiteTouch systems).
The gateway acts as a KNX device in its KNX interface, reading/writing points of other KNX device(s), and offering this
point's values of KNX device(s) through its ASCII interface using simple ASCII messages.
Configuration is carried out using the configuration software IntesisTM MAPS.
This document assumes that the user is familiar with ASCII and KNX technologies and their technical terms.

1.2 Functionality
From the KNX system point of view, after the start-up process, the gateway reads the points configured to be read at
the start and remains listening for changes of value of group addresses associated with internal data points. Any of
these changes, when detected, are immediately updated in memory and become available to be read by the ASCII
system in any moment.
From the ASCII system point of view, after the start up process of the gateway, Intesis waits for any query (ASCII
messages requesting readings of points or ASCII messages requesting writings of points) and acts according to the
message received. See ASCII interface section for details about this ASCII messages.
Each KNX group address from the KNX is associated to an ASCII, with this, all the configured points of the KNX are
seen as a single ASCII point.
When a new value is read from KNX group address, the new value is updated in the gateway's memory and made
accessible at ASCII Server interface.

2 KNX System
In this section, a common description for all Intesis KNX series gateways is given, from the point of view of KNX system
which is called from now on internal system The ASCII system is also called from now on external system.
2.1 Description
Intesis KNX connects directly to the KNX TP-1 (EIB) bus and behaves as one more devices into the KNX system, with
the same configuration and operational characteristics as other KNX devices.
Internally, the circuit part connected to the KNX bus is opto-isolated from the rest of the electronics.
Intesis-KNX receives, manages and sends all the telegrams related to its configuration to the KNX bus.
On receiving telegrams of KNX Groups associated to internal datapoints, the corresponding messages are sent to the
external system (ASCII) to maintain both systems synchronised in every moment.
When a change in a signal of the external system is detected, a telegram is sent to the KNX bus (of the associated KNX
group) to maintain both systems synchronised in every moment.
The status of the KNX bus is checked continuously and, if a bus drops down is detected, due to a failure in the bus
power supply for example, when the KNX bus is restored again, Intesis will retransmit the status of all the KNX groups
marked as "T" Transmit. Also, the Updates of the groups marked as "U" Update will be performed. The behaviour of
each individual point into Intesis is determined by the flags configured for the point. See details in section 4.
2.2 Points definition
Every internal datapoint to define has the following KNX properties:
Property
Description
Description
Descriptive information about the Communication Object or Signal.
Signal
Signal's Description. Only for informative purposes, allows identifying the signal
comfortably.
DPT
It is the KNX data type used to code the signal's value. It will depend on the type of
signal associated in the external system in every case. In some integrations, it is
selectable, in others it is fixed due to the intrinsic characteristics of the signal.
Group
It is the KNX group to which the point is associated. It is also the group to which the
read (R), write (W), transmit (T) and update (U) flags are applied. Is the sending group.
Listening
addresses
They are the addresses that will actuate on the point, apart of the main Group address.
R
Read. If this flag is activated, read telegrams of this group address will be accepted.
Ri
Read. It this flag is activated; the object will be read on initialization.
W
Write. If this flag is activated, write telegrams of this group address will be accepted.
T
Transmit. If this flag is activated, when the point's value changes, due to a change in
the external system, a write telegram of the group address will be sent to the KNX bus.
U
Update. If this flag is activated, on Intesis start-up or after a KNX bus reset detection,
objects will be updated from KNX.
Active
If activated, the point will be active in Intesis, if not, the behaviour will be as if the point
is not defined. This allows deactivating points without the need of delete them for
possible future use.
These properties are common for all Intesis KNX series gateways. Although each integration may have specific
properties according to the type of signals of the external system.

3 ASCII interface
This section describes the ASCII interface of the Intesis, its configuration and functionality.
3.1 Description
The gateway can be connected to any ASCII enabled device using its EIA232 interface (DB9 connector DTE), EIA485
interface or TCP/IP (Ethernet connector) and offers through this interface the possibility of supervision and control of its
internal KNX addresses using simple ASCII messages.
On receiving messages corresponding to write commands in its ASCII interface, the gateway sends the corresponding
write command message to the associated KNX group.
When a new value for a point is received from KNX, the corresponding ASCII message indicating the new value will be
sent through the ASCII interface, but only if the point is configured for sending this "spontaneous messages", if it is not
configured to do so, then the new value will be available to be polled in any moment from the ASCII enabled device
connected to this ASCII interface. This behaviour of sending or not through the ASCII interface the new values received
from KNX is configurable individually per point in the gateway.
3.2 ASCII Serial
Serial communication for the ASCII communication can be configured to match the ASCII master device.
Only the RX, TX and GND lines of the EIA232 connector are used (TX/RX+ and TX/RX- for EIA485).
3.3 ASCII TCP
The TCP port to use can be configured (by default 5000 is used).
The IP address, subnet mask and default router address to use by Intesis can be also configured.
3.4 Address Map
The ASCII address map is fully configurable; any point in the Intesis can be freely configured with the desired internal
register address. Check the configuration tool manual for more information.
3.5 Points definition
Every point defined in the gateway has the following ASCII features associated to it, which can be configured:
Feature

4 Connections
Find below information regarding the Intesis connections available.
Power Supply
Must use NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV
rated power supply.
If using DC power supply:
Respect polarity applied of terminals (+) and (-). Be sure the
voltage applied is within the range admitted (check table below).
The power supply can be connected to earth but only through the
negative terminal, never through the positive terminal.
If using AC power supply:
Make sure the voltage applied is of the value admitted (24 Vac).
Do not connect any of the terminals of the AC power supply to
earth, and make sure the same power supply is not supplying
any other device.
Ethernet / ASCII IP
Connect the cable coming from the IP network to the connector
ETH of the gateway. Use an Ethernet CAT5 cable. If
communicating through the LAN of the building, contact the
network administrator and make sure traffic on the port used is
allowed through all the LAN path (check the gateway user
manual for more information). With factory settings, after
powering up the gateway, DHCP will be enabled for 30 seconds.
After that time, if no IP is provided by a DHCP server, the default
IP 192.168.100.246 will be set.
PortA / KNX
Connect the KNX TP1 bus to connectors A3 (+) and A4 (-) of gateway’s PortA. Respect the polarity
PortB / ASCII Serial
Connect the EIA485 bus to connectors B1 (B+), B2 (A-) and B3 (SNGD) of gateway’s PortB. Respect the polarity.
Connect the serial cable EIA232 coming from the external serial device to the EIA232 connector of gateway’s PortB.
This is a DB9 male (DTE) connector in which only the lines TX, RX and GND are used. Respect the maximum distance
of 15 meters.
Note: Remember the characteristics of the standard EIA485 bus: maximum distance of 1200 meters, maximum 32
devices connected to the bus, and in each end of the bus it must be a termination resistor of 120 Ω. The port includes
a DIP-Switch for configuration of biasing circuit as well as termination:
SW1: ON: 120 Ω termination active
OFF: 120 Ω termination inactive (default)
SW2-3:
ON: Polarization active
OFF: Polarization inactive
If the gateway is installed in one bus end, make sure that termination is active.
Console Port
Connect a mini-type B USB cable from your computer to the gateway to allow communication between the Configuration
Software and the gateway. Remember that Ethernet connection is also allowed. Check the user manual for more
information.
USB
Connect a USB storage device (not a HDD) if required. Check the user manual for more information.
Ensure proper space for all connectors when mounted (see section 7).

4.1 Powering the device
A power supply working with any of the voltage range allowed is needed (check section 6). Once connected the RUN
led (Figure above) will turn on.
WARNING! In order to avoid earth loops that can damage the gateway and/or any other equipment connected to it, we
strongly recommend:
•The use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to earth. Never use a DC
power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth.
•The use of AC power supplies only if they are floating and not powering any other device.
4.2 Connection to ASCII
4.2.1 ASCII TCP/IP
Connect the communication cable coming from the network hub or switch to the ETH port of Intesis. The cable to be
used shall be a straight Ethernet UTP/FTP CAT5 cable.
4.2.2 ASCII Serial
Connect the communication cable coming from the ASCII network to the port marked as Port B of Intesis. Connect the
EIA485 bus to connectors to connectors B1 (B+), B2 (A-) and B3 (SNGD) of gateway’s PortB. Respect the polarity.
Remember the characteristics of the standard EIA485 bus: maximum distance of 1200 meters, maximum 32 devices
connected to the bus, and in each end of the bus it must be a termination resistor of 120 Ω. Set port switch SW1 to ON
if gateway is installed on one bus end. SW2-3 will generally go OFF (no polarization), as polarization will typically be
provided in the ASCII Serial master device.
4.3 Connection to KNX
Connect the communication cable coming from the KNX bus to the PortA of Intesis.
In case there is no response from the KNX installation or KNX devices to the telegrams sent by the Intesis, check that
they are operative and reachable from the KNX installation used by Intesis.
Check as well if there is a line coupler that it is not filtering the telegrams from/to the Intesis.
4.4 Connection to the configuration tool
This action allows the user to have access to configuration and monitoring of the device (more information can be found
in the configuration tool User Manual). Two methods to connect to the PC can be used:
•Ethernet: Using the Ethernet port of Intesis.
•USB: Using the console port of Intesis, connect a USB cable from the console port to the PC.

5.3 Set-up procedure
1. Install Intesis MAPS on your laptop, use the setup program supplied for this and follow the instructions given by the
Installation wizard.
2. Install Intesis in the desired installation site. Installation can be on DIN rail or on a stable not vibrating surface (DIN
rail mounted inside a metallic industrial cabinet connected to ground is recommended).
3. If using, ASCII Serial, connect the communication cable coming from the EIA485 port or the EIA232 port of the
ASCII installation to the port marked as Port B of Intesis (More details in section 2).
If using, ASCII TCP/IP, connect the communication cable coming from the Ethernet port of the ASCII installation to
the port marked as Ethernet of Intesis (More details in section 2).
4. Connect the KNX communication cable coming from the KNX network to the port marked as Port A on Intesis (More
details in section 2).
5. Power up Intesis. The supply voltage can be 9 to 30 Vdc or just 24 Vac. Take care of the polarity of the supply
voltage applied.
WARNING! In order to avoid earth loops that can damage Intesis and/or any other equipment connected to it,
we strongly recommend:
•The use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to earth. Never use a DC
power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth.
•The use of AC power supplies only if they are floating and not powering any other device.
6. If you want to connect using IP, connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Ethernet of
Intesis (More details in section 2). Using a hub or switch may be required.
If you want to connect using USB, connect the USB cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Console of
Intesis (More details in section 2).
7. Open Intesis MAPS, create a new project selecting a template for INASCKNX---0000.
8. Modify the configuration as desired, save it and download the configuration file to Intesis as explained in the Intesis
MAPS user manual.
9. Visit the Diagnostic section, enable COMMS and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and
some other RX frames. This means that the communication with the Centralized Controller and ASCII Master
devices is OK. In case there is no communication activity between Intesis and the Centralized Controller and/or
ASCII devices, check that those are operative: check the baud rate, the communication cable used to connect all
devices and any other communication parameter.
