Definition


 Knx interworking : “The situation where products
sending and receiving messages can properly understand
signals and react on them without additional equipment”
by knx.org
 Advantages
 choose between products of a large number of KNX
manufacturers
 single planning and configuration tool like ETS
 worldwide uniform training scheme
 facilitate the development of gateways between KNX and
other systems (like DALI and BACnet)
 …

Enes Altınok

exchange information by means of telegrams
maximum of 64 bus devices
requires an appropriate power supply
The actual number of devices is dependent on the power supply
selected and the power input of the individual devices

6 /42
Topology (area)


 up to 15 lines can be connected to a main line via a line coupler
 possible to have up to 64 bus devices on the main line
 Each line, including the main line, must have its own power supply unit
Enes Altınok

7 /42
Topology (several areas)



 maximum of 15 functional areas, more than 58,000 bus devices can be
connected to the bus system

Topology (maximum)



Enes Altınok

9 /42
Topology (coupling unit)



 coupling unit is provided with a filter table
 received group telegrams are routed if they are listed in the filter
table
 each line works independently
Enes Altınok
 line repeater passes on all telegrams; it has no filter table

10 /42
Topology (routing counter)



 initial count value is 6
 Each coupler decrements the routing counter and passes on the
telegram as long as the value is not 0
Enes Altınok

11 /42
Topology (group objects)


 group address
 Actuators can listen to several group addresses
 Sensors can only send one group address per telegram

 group objects are memory locations in bus devices
 several group addresses can be assigned to one
group object but only one is the sending group
address

Enes Altınok

12 /42
Topology (group objects)



 If the upper left rocker is pressed for example, the two-fold switch sensor writes
a “1” to its group object with the number 0. As the communication and transmit
flag are set for this object, this device will send a telegram on the bus with the
information “Group address 1/1/1, write value, 1”.
 All the bus devices throughout the KNX installation that also have the group
address 1/1/1 will then write “1” in their own group object.
 In our example, the “1” is written in group object no. 0 of the actuator.
Enes Altınok
 The application software of the actuator establishes that the value in this group 13 /42
object has changed and executes the switching process.
Topology (group object flags)


 “master switch” for communication
 if this flag is not set, the object cannot send or receive
telegrams
 It is set for all objects by default
 If this object is linked to a group, an acknowledgement
is sent even though the communication flag has been
deleted
Enes Altınok

14 /42
Topology (group object flags)


 enables the object value to be read
 response telegram is only sent after a read telegram if
the read flag of the object has been set
 set by default for status objects

Enes Altınok

15 /42
Topology (group object flags)


 enables the object status to be modified via the bus on
the basis of a telegram
 set by default for all switch objects, value objects
(actuator) as well as all push button objects

Enes Altınok

16 /42
Topology (group object flags)


 enables the group object to send telegrams
 sending of telegrams can be triggered e.g. by a push
button action, a variation in the temperature or a
change in the object status
 set for sensors by default

Enes Altınok

17 /42
Topology (group object flags)


 If the update flag is set, a response telegram of a read
procedure is interpreted as a write telegram

Enes Altınok

18 /42
Topology (group object flags)



 If the Read on Init flag is set, the bus device will
independently read the value of its sending group
address at initialisation

Enes Altınok

19 /42
Communication

 Connection-oriented Communication
 point-to-point [P2P] connection
 highly secure, but is not very bandwidth effective
 the Transport Layer as well as the Link Layer will generate
messages confirming reception of data
 rejected telegrams are repeated up to three times
 Ex. talking to one single person and checking after each
question, whether he/she understood the question
 In KNX : Downloading group addresses, parameters
and/or application program from the PC (= ETS) into the
KNX device
Enes Altınok

20 /42
Communication

 Connectionless Communication
 the address must be sent together with the useful data
after each data request
 no confirmation of the data received
 the device sending the information does not guarantee
the correct order of the transmitted data blocks
 one single message it is possible to reach all devices
included in the installation
 only one common acknowledgement of receipt is
received
Enes Altınok

21 /42
Communication

 Connectionless Communication Cont.
 not be ensured that all devices have correctly received
the sent message
 Ex. o talking to a group of persons and continuing
with the next question if at least one person confirms
that he/she understood the message
 In KNX :
 Normal operating mode of the KNX (telegrams with
group addresses, Multicast, one to many
communication)
 Broadcast (one to all communication)

  • 19. Topology (group object flags)   If the Read on Init flag is set, the bus device will independently read the value of its sending group address at initialisation Enes Altınok 19 /42
  • 20. Communication   Connection-oriented Communication  point-to-point [P2P] connection  highly secure, but is not very bandwidth effective  the Transport Layer as well as the Link Layer will generate messages confirming reception of data  rejected telegrams are repeated up to three times  Ex. talking to one single person and checking after each question, whether he/she understood the question  In KNX : Downloading group addresses, parameters and/or application program from the PC (= ETS) into the KNX device Enes Altınok 20 /42
  • 21. Communication   Connectionless Communication  the address must be sent together with the useful data after each data request  no confirmation of the data received  the device sending the information does not guarantee the correct order of the transmitted data blocks  one single message it is possible to reach all devices included in the installation  only one common acknowledgement of receipt is received Enes Altınok 21 /42
  • 22. Communication   Connectionless Communication Cont.  not be ensured that all devices have correctly received the sent message  Ex. o talking to a group of persons and continuing with the next question if at least one person confirms that he/she understood the message  In KNX :  Normal operating mode of the KNX (telegrams with group addresses, Multicast, one to many communication)  Broadcast (one to all communication) Enes Altınok 22 /42
  • 24. Knx Telegram  Enes Altınok  D5 : repeated telegram = 0, not = 1 24 /42
  • 26. Knx Telegram   N_PDU last bit => D7 : group = 1, individual = 0 Enes Altınok 26 /42
  • 27. Knx Telegram   First bit : group = 1, individual = 0  Following 3 bits : the value of the routing counter, which will play a role in the routing of the telegram across line and backbone couplers  Following 4 bits : the length of the actual useful information in the telegram(depending on datapoint type) Enes Altınok 27 /42
  • 28. Knx Telegram   First two bits :  Following 4 bits : the sequence number(the Enes Altınok communication type numbered) 28 /42
  • 29. Knx Telegram   First two bits : 00 = a transport layer point to point connection is opened from the indicated sender to the indicated receiver 01 = an existing transport layer point to point connection between the indicated sender and the indicated receiver is terminated/broken down Enes Altınok 29 /42
  • 30. Knx Telegram   First two bits : 10 = the transport layer of the indicated sender positively confirms to the indicated receiver reception of a previously received telegram. 11 = the transport layer of the indicated sender negatively confirms to the indicated receiver reception of a Enes Altınok 30 /42 previously received telegram.
  • 31. Knx Telegram   First four bits : APCI Enes Altınok 31 /42
  • 34. Datapoint Types   Classes  Simple Types : boolean values, pure numerical values  Enumerated Types : limited number of values, no precise hierarchical order  Structured Types : several parts which are combined in a datapoint  “Multi-state” Types : encodable values follow a hierarchical sequence and all encodable values are meaningful (0-255)  Status Types : report its operating mode to other devices, to be switched to a specific operating mode Enes Altınok 34 /42
