ABB i-bus ® General General The ABB i-bus ® IP Interface Secure IPS/S 3.5.1 connects the KNX bus to an Ethernet network. KNX telegrams can be sent to or received from other devices via the network. The device supports the KNX Secure protocol (KNXnet/IP Security).
Cyber security (network security) The industry is increasingly faced with cyber security risks. To increase the stability, security and robustness of its solutions, ABB has introduced official robustness tests for Internet security as part of the product development process. In addition, the information below includes guidelines and mechanisms that you can use to improve the security of KNX systems.
ABB i-bus ® General Connection to the Internet The device is not intended for use on the public Internet. For this reason router ports in the direction of the Internet must not be opened; this action will ensure KNX communication is not visible on the Internet.
ABB i-bus ® General Overview of product and functions The ABB i-bus ® IP Interface Secure IPS/S 3.5.1 connects the KNX bus to an Ethernet network. KNX telegrams can be sent to or received from other devices via the network.
IP Interface Secure (see chapter 4.2, The i-bus® Tool). An ETS app (ABB Firmware Update 2.0) is available for the firmware update. If KNX Secure mode is not activated for the devices, a firmware update can also be performed with the i-bus ®...
® Device technology Device technology IPS/S 3.5.1 The ABB i-bus IP Interface Secure IPS/S 3.5.1 connects the KNX bus to an Ethernet network. ® KNX telegrams can be sent to or received from other devices via the network. The Interface can be used as a programming interface (ETS), and clients, e.g. Visualisations, can access the KNX bus via the IPS/S 3.5.1.

Secure) on the side of the unit will be required as well. The latest version of the application and corresponding software information are available for download from www.abb.com/knx. After import into ETS, the application is stored in the Catalogs window under Manufacturers/ABB/System Infrastructure and Interfacing/IP Routers and Interfaces.
LAN or LAN/PoE connection Note It is also possible to power the Interface via the voltage output without choke of an ABB KNX power supply (type SV/S). This reduces the number of KNX devices that can be connected to the ABB KNX power supply accordingly.
ABB i-bus ® Device technology Mounting and installation The device is a modular installation device for quick installation in distribution boards on 35 mm mounting rails to EN 60 715. The mounting position for the device can be selected as required.
Any USB interface used for programming a KNX Secure device must support “long frames.” One suitable USB interface is the USB/S 1.2 from ABB. There must be a connection to the KNX TP (twisted pair) in order to program the device.
Only a DC voltage in a range of 12 to 30 V may be connected to the power supply input. We recommend using the Auxiliary Power Supplies NT/S from our range. It is also possible to power the Interface via the voltage output without choke of an ABB KNX power supply (type SV/S).
ABB i-bus ® Device technology Operating controls There are no operating controls located on the IP Interface Secure. Display elements Three indicator LEDs are located on the front of the IPS/S: LAN/LINK Telegram • The LED lights for a few seconds after connection of the supply voltage.
Commissioning The IPS/S is parametrized using the application and Engineering Tool Software (ETS). The application can be found under Manufacturers/ABB/System Infrastructure and Interfacing/IP Routers and Interfaces. For parameterization purposes, a PC or laptop with ETS and a connection to the KNX bus are required.

ABB i-bus ® Commissioning The IP parameters (device name, assignment of the IP address by DHCP or static) are configured in the Properties window of ETS. The device name can be entered in the Settings Properties window. The device name loaded into the device can be changed in the Name field.
ABB i-bus ® Commissioning The IP address can be defined in the IP Properties window. The following options are available for setting the IP address: Options: Obtain an IP address automatically Use a static IP address Obtain an IP address automatically: In the default setting, the IP Interface Secure expects the •...
ABB i-bus ® Commissioning Use of the integrated tunneling servers The IP Interface Secure offers five additional physical addresses, which can be used for a tunneling connection. These so-called tunneling servers can be used with the ETS as a programming interface or with another client, e.g.
ABB i-bus ® Commissioning Note The physical address for the tunneling connection must fit the topology. Therefore, the addresses must be selected from the address range of the subordinate line. On delivery, all tunneling servers have the address 15.15.100. In ETS 5, the first five free addresses in the line are assigned automatically after the Interface has been inserted into a line.
Commissioning KNX Secure The ABB IP Interface Secure is a KNX device according to the KNX Secure standard. In other words, the device can be put into operation in a secure manner and the tunneling connections are encrypted. The following information must therefore be taken into account during device commissioning: •...
ABB i-bus ® Planning and application Planning and application The IP Interface Secure in the network The IP Interface Secure is designed for use in 10/100 BaseT networks compliant to IEEE 802.3. The device features an autosensing function and sets the baud rate (10 or 100 Mbit) automatically.
The IP Interfaces can be found in the network using the i-bus ® Tool. Select Discovery mode in the ribbon area. This function serves to find and display ABB IP devices in the network. Note The functions are described in the i-bus ®...
The device cannot be updated with the i-bus ® Tool in KNX Secure mode. In this case, the firmware update will be possible only with the ETS app “ABB Firmware Update 2.0.” The app can be loaded free of charge from the KNX Online Shop. Important During the update process, the KNX bus (TP) must be connected in addition to the IP network (LAN) so that the KNX parameters can be restored correctly.
