2 KNX-BIN24 SATEL
KNX-BIN24 is a universal module of KNX binary inputs that enables signals from outside
KNX installation to be converted into control telegrams for other devices on the bus. These
signals may be generated by conventional ON/OFF buttons (to operate lighting, etc.), reed
switches or sensors for registering various types of physical quantities (e.g. temperature).
The module has eight physical inputs which allow it to handle 8 independent signals
ranging from 0 to 30 VDC/AC. Each physical input in the module corresponds to one
physical channel (A – H).
1. Features
Communication with the KNX bus via integrated bus connector.
Definable channel polarity (NO / NC).
Configurable time of short / long button press.
Virtual channels for receiving telegrams from other KNX bus devices.
Virtual logic channels for creating logical links between module channels.
Virtual timer channels for creating time links.
Possibility to define 20 function blocks that perform one of the available functions:
switch / value transmitter,
edge response,
dimmer,
shutter controller,
switching sequence,
counter,
scene controller.
Possibility to control each function block using any channel.
Control of several function blocks using one channel.
Control of lighting and shutters using 1 or 2 buttons (channels).
Ability to call a scene from any channel by using 8-bit commands.
Manual operation of physical channels status by using buttons on the enclosure.
LEDs to indicate status of physical channels.
Module configuration by using ETS program.
Mounted in distribution boxes, on DIN rail (35 mm).

Each button can work as monostable or bistable switch. How the button will operate
can be defined separately for each channel in ETS program, “Physical channels” tab.

2.1 Enclosure
The module takes up 4 units on the 35 mm DIN rail.
3. Installation
Disconnect power before making any electrical connections.
The module is designed for indoor installation, in spaces with normal air humidity, e.g. in
distribution boxes on 35 mm DIN rail.
1. Mount the module on the mounting rail.
2. Connect the devices to the terminals. For designations of the terminals see the front
panel.
All connections should be made as recommended in section “Wiring diagram”.
3. Use the connection terminal to connect the KNX bus cable to the module.
The module is supplied with voltage from the KNX bus and requires no additional
power supply.
4. Connect a computer running ETS program to the KNX bus and configure the module.
To configure the module, you will require a computer running the ETS program version
5.5 or newer, provided with USB or Ethernet (TCP/IP) connector. The SATEL ETS
application file, which can be downloaded from www.satel.eu/ets, must be imported
into the program.
For detailed information on how to configure the module, refer to section “Configuring the
module”.

3.1 Wiring diagram
The KNX-BIN24 module has two independent circuits. Each circuit includes four inputs: A, B,
C, D – circuit 1, and E, F, G, H – circuit 2. DC or AC voltage can be applied to each module
input, allowable input voltage ranging from 0 to 30 V.
Input voltage from 0 to 4 V is interpreted as “0” and voltage from 9 to 30 V – as “1”. To
avoid malfunctioning of the module, voltage ranging from 4 to 9 V must not be applied
to any input.
Each module input can be connected to a different current source, but one type of voltage,
either DC or AC, must be applied to inputs belonging to one circuit.
Fig. 3 shows some examples of module connection:
I – voltage from one source, AC or DC, is applied to all inputs of the module,
II – voltage from two different sources is applied to inputs of circuits 1 and 2 (DC voltage is
applied to inputs of one circuit, and AC voltage to inputs of the other circuit),
III – voltage from different sources is applied to inputs within one circuit (DC voltage is
applied to inputs of one circuit, and AC voltage to inputs of the other circuit).
4. Configuring the module
Working parameters of the module are defined in the ETS program (version 5.5 or higher).
The tabs for defining individual parameters are built dynamically. Depending on the selected
options, further parameters may be displayed in the tabs or further tabs may be displayed
when defining parameters. Moving the cursor over the selected parameter will display
a tooltip with default value or value range for that parameter.

Configuring the module can be divided into three steps:
Configuring global parameters.
Configuring channels.
Configuring function blocks.
There are four channel groups in the module:
physical – convert electric signals from physical inputs (terminals) into events that can be
handled by the module (8 channels), see “Physical channels”.
virtual – convert telegrams received from other KNX bus devices and the module function
blocks into events that can be handled by the module (8 channels), see “Virtual
channels”.
logic – special virtual channels that enable logical links to be created between the module
channels (4 channels), see “Logic channels”.
timer – special virtual channels that enable the status of channels of the module or KNX
bus devices (4 channels) to be cyclically switched, see “Timer channels”.
The following events can be generated in each channel:
rising edge,
falling edge,
button short pressing,
button long pressing (holding).
Additionally, each channel store information about its own current state (Off / On).
You can define 20 function blocks in the module. The function block can execute one on the
following functions:
switch / value transmitter,
edge response,
dimmer,
shutter controller,
switching sequence,
counter,
scene controller.
Each function block can be controlled by using events from any module channel, and events
from one channel can be used to control several function blocks at the same time.
Function blocks executing different functions can be controlled by events from one
channel.
Events generated in the module channels can also be control signals for the timer channels,
and the state of channels can be linked in the logic function defined in the logic channel. Next
sections present a schematic diagram of the module (Fig. 4) and a diagram of the starting
configuration (Fig. 5) that was defined in the module ETS application. Section “Configuration
examples” shows an example of configuration in which one channel is used to control several
function blocks at the same time as well as examples of using the virtual, logic and timer
channels.

4.2 Starting configuration
In the ETS application for configuring the module working parameters, the starting
configuration has been defined, including the working parameters of physical channels
and 8 function blocks that execute the switch function (Function block 1…8: switch). If

8 KNX-BIN24 SATEL
the module is programmed without modifying the starting configuration, each physical
channel of the module will control one function block executing the bistable switch
function (ON / OFF).
The module starting configuration can be modified by the user at will.
Presented below (Fig. 5) is a block diagram with starting configuration in which physical
channels of the module receive electric signals from the physical inputs and convert them
into events handled by the module. In the starting configuration, short button press events
generated in each physical channel of the module (A – H) control one function block
(Function block 1…8: switch), and thus “ON” / “OFF” telegrams are sent to the KNX bus.
