KNX ADD-ON PROGRAMMING

For configuring wired and wireless protocols on Inspinia Panels or Servers with Add-Ons, the initial step is to physically connect the Add-On to the designated ports on the panel. Once connected, the corresponding port must be mapped to the appropriate device type within the Platform's interface. Below is a detailed example of this process using a KNX Add-On.

1. Select "Add New Device".

1. In the "Insert Device" dialog, select the Add-On type and click "INSERT" to proceed.

1. After the Add On type is selected, the port option is made and other information is entered.

1. For the KNX Add-On configuration:

• Device Type: Select KNX/TP.

• Add-On Model: Choose KNX-ON (KNX2).

• Device Address: Enter the panel's KNX individual address.

• Master/Slave Configuration:

  • Master: The device will request the latest statuses with a delay time after restarting.

  • Slave: The device will not request statuses after restarting.

1. Once the Add-On connection information is entered, the device will be listed under the “Devices” section.

1. Click the "+" icon to add KNX group objects.

2. From the dialog screen that opens, select the KNX object to be added and choose the type based on its functionality: reading, writing, or both reading and writing.

KNX group objects can be added using the "+" icon or deleted using the "-" icon.

1. After adding the KNX objects, the corresponding object blocks will be displayed in this section.

1. The created object blocks can be moved to the workspace by dragging and dropping them with the mouse.

All blocks and plug-ins on the platform can be placed in the workspace using the drag-and-drop method. Once positioned, they can be interconnected via the input and output points located on the right and left sides of the blocks.

Modbus, INELS, BACnet, or other protocols (whether wired or TCP/IP) are added using the same drag-and-drop method, followed by connecting the input and output points of the blocks.

The device menu also displays the total number of BMS points utilized in the project, the number of UI elements (UI Objects, Widgets) used for each interface, and the HVAC point counts.
