KNX Modbus Gateway Screw Terminals and Connector
The KNX Modbus gateway (RP-C-EXT-KNX) is equipped with two 3-position pluggable screw terminal blocks for connection to the RP-C Modbus (RS-485) network and a 2-pole PCB connector for connection to the KNX bus.
You need to configure which RS-485 port (RJ45) on the RP-C controller to use for the Modbus network. You can configure to use either the Sensor Bus port or Room Bus port. Für weitere Informationen siehe RP-C Communication Ports .
The upper and lower screw terminal blocks are used as follows:
Upper: Power input from the RP-C through the controller's RS-485 port
Lower: Communication with the RP-C over the controller's Modbus network
