Introduction

SpaceLogic* RP-C-EXT-KNX KNX Modbus gateway connects to the SpaceLogic RP controllers and provides an interface between the controller and KNX devices such as push-buttons, sensors, and control units for lights, blinds, and room temperature.

The KNX Modbus gateway allows bi-directional control and monitoring of all parameters and functions of the connected KNX devices, which can be used to control lights and blinds in a room.

The KNX Modbus gateway is a Modbus to KNX interface that connects to one of the RP-C controller's configurable RS-485 ports. The KNX Modbus gateway provides a galvanic isolation between the KNX bus and the RP-C Modbus (RS-485) network.

The KNX Modbus gateway can be programmed through the ETS© software for installation, configuration, and commissioning of KNX devices. The assignment of KNX objects to Modbus registers is configured through parameters in the ETS product database.

The KNX Modbus gateway supports KNX long frames.

The KNX Modbus gateway is designed for installation on a DIN rail with a width of 1 unit (18 mm or 0.7 inch).

The KNX Modbus gateway has two push-buttons and three LEDs on the front to enable local operation of the device and status indication.

The KNX Modbus gateway can be used with a standard Schneider Electric KNX power supply to power the KNX devices on the KNX bus.

* Formerly known as SmartX.

Features

The KNX Modbus gateway has the following features:

  • Up to 250 KNX data points (10 KNX devices) can be connected to the KNX Modbus gateway

  • Power and data communication through the RP-C Modbus (RS-485) network

  • Configuration through EcoStruxure Building Operation software

  • Programming through ETS© software

  • KNX long frames are supported

  • Designed for DIN rail installation

  • Push-buttons for synchronization (write) and read of all KNX group objects

  • Status LEDs for device mode, KNX bus, and Modbus communication

Modbus network

The RP-C controller has two RS-485 ports, which can be configured for different types of networks. When configured for Modbus communications, the RP-C controller also provides 24 VDC power supply to the KNX Modbus gateway through the RS-485 interface.

The Modbus RTU protocol is used for the RP-C Modbus network. RS-485 is the electrical interface.

The KNX Modbus gateway has two 3-position pluggable screw terminal blocks for connection to the RP-C Modbus (RS-485) network. The RP-C controller's RS-485 ports are RJ45 ports.

Maximum one KNX Modbus gateway can be connected to each RP-C controller.
