KNX/EIB KNX IP Router

Chapter 1 Summary
The IP Router can be used as line or backbone coupler. It provides a data connection between
the upper KNXnet/IP line (main line or backbone) and the lower TP KNX bus line (sub line). The
basic functionality of the IP Router is to couple the Ethernet with one or more KNX-TP lines. The IP
Router features a galvanic isolation between the Ethernet and the KNX-TP line(s). Due to its
flexibility the IP Router can be used as a line coupler e.g. to connect several KNX TP lines via
Ethernet. And it can be used as a backbone coupler to connect several TP areas or different TP
installation systems via Ethernet.
The main task of the IP Router is filtering the traffic according to the installation hierarchy. For
group oriented communication the traffic is filtered according to the built-in filter tables.
With the ETS or any other KNX compatible commissioning tool the IP Router can be used as
the programming interface. For this purpose the device provides up to 4 additional physical
addresses that can be used for tunneling. The IP Router has no KNX communication objects for
itself.
The IP Router is a Tunneling and Routing device. These features are described in the following
sections in detail. The device front panel consists of seven LEDs and two buttons as illustrated
below. The device offers a detailed internal diagnosis by displaying all operational states in
different Operation Modes with three pairs of LEDs. The LEDs show the variety of device states like
Bus OK, traffic, errors/faulty communication NACK, BUSY on the bus, state of the filter table, and
etc.
The IP Router is a modular installation device. It can be installed in the distribution board on
35mm mounting rails according to EN 60715.
This manual provides the technical information about the IP Router as well as assembly and
programming in detail for users, and explains how to use the interface device by the application
examples.

1.1 Function overview
The IP Router has the follow functions:
The IP Router supports extended frames and long telegrams up to 240 bytes APDU
length. In combination with the line coupler and the long messages are made possible
(e.g. for energy metering applications and visualization purposes).
The IP Router favorably replaces a line coupler or an area coupler. Using LAN as a fast
medium to exchange telegrams between lines and/or areas is the great advantage.
The IP Router works without external power supply.
Providing tunneling protocols and a connection point for the ETS (or any other tool to
enable commissioning and monitoring) the ETS address for tunneling is not necessarily
the one that is already configured. Four parallel connections are possible, one separate
address for each and every connection.
IACK sending on sent out messages is ETS configurable
After no IACK response on a sent message the IP Router can repeat it up to three times.
For physically addressed or for group addressed telegrams this can be configured via
ETS independently. In case of an IACK response there will be no repetition. The failure
mechanism of a negative IACK or BUSY is still maintained hereby.
Programmable automatic switch on of the filter table after timeout.
For a predefined amount of time (ETS configurable) it is possible to switch off the filter
table with pressing a button on the device. So, without re-configuring the device with the
ETS the filter table can be switched off by a button press which is necessary for running
fast diagnostics on site. Filtering of messages can temporarily be disabled by pressing
the “Function” button. This eases commissioning and debugging of the system. Without
an ETS download a temporary access to other lines is possible. After the timeout an
automatic switching the filter table on is implemented (the timeout is configurable in the
ETS). This avoids forgetting to reactivate the filter.

UPnP is available to discover the device in the IP network. That is only possible with a
proper network installation in terms of topology. With the KNXnet/IP Search Request the
ETS can recognize the device as a communication interface.
For networks with a high bus load a high internal amount of communication buffers is
suitable.
The IP Router is featuring a high internal amount of communication buffers being
capable of smoothing peeks in the communication load course.
The IP Router’s ETS database entries are available for the ETS3.0f and upward.
The IP Router supports KNXnet/IP, ARP, ICMP, IGMP, HTTP, UPnP discovery, UDP/IP,
TCP/IP, DHCP and Auto IP.
1.2 Tunneling
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.
1.3 Routing
Routing is the way of interconnecting KNX lines or areas via IP network(s) using KNXnet/IP. In
IP networks the KNXnet/IP Routing defines how KNXnet/IP routers communicate with each other.
1.4 KNX IP Routers
The IP Router is a KNX IP router. KNX IP routers are highly similar to TP line couplers. The only
exception is that they use the communication medium Ethernet as their main line. However, it is
also possible to integrate KNX end devices via IP directly. This makes the Ethernet a KNX medium.
