1INTRODUCTION
1.1 BIN
The BIN product family from Zennio consists of a variety of small-size KNX interfaces,
designed to be installed, for instance, inside electric appliance boxes. They allow
connecting a variable number of binary inputs (pushbuttons, switches) while they also
provide LED and electronic relay control outputs (up to 12V DC, 2 mA). Therefore,
the same device is able to provide feedback to the LED indicators incorporated by
many pushbuttons and switches or to operate low-current relays (e.g., heating system
relays).
The BIN product family also incorporates the Heartbeat function, which consists in
sending a periodical “still-alive” notification to the KNX bus.
The number of input and output channels depends on each specific model, being
fixed in some of them or configurable by the integrator in those models where a sole
channel can work either as an input or as an output:
1.1.1 BIN 44
4 fixed inputs, configurable as:
➢Binary inputs.
4 fixed outputs, configurable as:
➢LED lighting outputs.
➢Electronic relay control outputs (heating actuators).
1.1.2 BIN 4X
4 input / output channels, freely configurable as:
➢Binary inputs.
➢LED Lighting Output.
➢Electronic Relay Control (Heating Actuator).

2 input / output channels, freely configurable as:
➢Binary inputs.
➢LED Lighting Output.
➢Electronic Relay Control (Heating Actuator).

1.2 INSTALLATION
BIN is connected to the KNX bus through the incorporated terminal connector, while
the input lines are connected to BIN through a screw terminal block, bundled with the
stripped cables already connected.
Once the device is provided with power from the KNX bus, both the individual address
and the associated application program may be downloaded.
This device does not need any additional external power since it is entirely powered
through the KNX bus.
Figure 1. Element diagram.
The main elements are described next:
Prog./Test Button (2): a short press on this button sets the device into the
programming mode, making the associated LED (3) light in red. If this button is
held at the same time of applying bus power to the device, BIN will enter the
Safe Mode. In such case, the LED will intermit in red.
Slots for the input / output lines: slot for the insertion of the terminal block
with cables (see Figure 2) that permits BIN interfacing with the different input
and output elements.

To obtain further information about the technical features of BIN 44 / 4X / 2X and on
security and installation procedures, please refer to the Datasheet of the device,
bundled with the original packaging and also available at the http://www.zennio.com
website.

2CONFIGURATION
2.1 GENERAL
After importing the corresponding database in ETS and adding the device into the
topology of the desired project, the configuration process begins by entering the
Parameters tab of the device.
ETS PARAMETERISATION
The only parameterisable screen available by default is General. From this screen it is
possible to activate/deactivate all the required functionality.
Figure 3. Default configuration (BIN 44).
Start-up Delay [0…255]

: sets a delay after the initialisation so the device does
not respond to orders nor send objects to the bus (except the Heartbeat object,
if enabled; see below).

outputs will be functional (or which channels will behave as inputs and which
channels as outputs, in the case of BIN 44, see Figure 4). After enabling them,
additional tabs will be incorporated to the tab tree on the left. These functions
and their parameters will be explained in later sections of this document.
Figure 4. Default configuration (BIN 4X).
Heartbeat (Periodic Alive Notification) [enabled/disabled]: lets the integrator
incorporate a one-bit object to the project (“[Heartbeat] Object to Send ‘1’”)
that will be sent periodically with value “1” to notify that the device is still
working (still alive).
Figure 5. Heartbeat (Periodic Alive Notification).
Note: the first sending after download or bus failure takes place with a delay of
up to 255 seconds, to prevent bus overload. The following sendings match the
period set.

2.2 INPUTS / OUTPUTS
2.2.1 BIN 44
BIN 44 incorporates four inputs and four outputs, configurable as:
Inputs: pushbuttons or switches. See section 2.2.3.
Outputs:
➢Low-current LED lighting controls, for low current LED control.
Brightness level, simple timer or flashing can be configured. See section
2.2.4.
➢Electronic relay controls for heating systems. See section 2.2.5.
2.2.2 BIN 4X / 2X
BIN 4X and BIN 2X incorporate, respectively, four or two input/output channels,
each of them configurable as a:
Binary Input. See section 2.2.3.
LED Lighting Output. See section 2.2.4.
Electronic Relay Control (Heating Actuator). See section 2.2.5.
2.2.3 BINARY INPUT
Please refer to the “Binary Inputs”user manual, available in the BIN product section at
the Zennio website (http://www.zennio.com).
2.2.4 LED LIGHTING OUTPUT
The LED lighting control permits commuting each LED between two states: off (which
not necessarily means “no light”) and on (which not necessarily means “light on”).
Moreover, the LEDs can also switch between two operation modes: the normal mode
and the night mode. The second one is optional and is provided for temporary
situations and environments where an excess of brightness may disturb the user. In
