Integrating With Netlinx; Channels And Levels; Data Types - AMX NetLinx Interface NXB-KNX Operation/Reference Manual

NetLinx Programming
The character sets supported by KNX are ASCII and ISO 8859-1.

Integrating with NetLinx

The NXB-KNX is a native ICSP device in NetLinx. The NXB-KNX associates each actuator (actor number)
with a corresponding Channel and Level mapping.
For example the value of actor 1 will map to Channel 1 / Level 1, and actor 52 will map to
Channel 52 / Level 52. These Channels and Levels are associated with the NXB-KNX device.
The default number of Channels and Levels supported by the NXB-KNX is 256.

Channels and Levels

All addresses are available as channels.
The current value is mapped to the corresponding channels of the device.
Channels

1 ...n (0 < n < 3000)
All addresses are available as levels.
For every value change the current value is transmitted as level to the program, for instance to control a
bargraph.

If additional channels/levels are required to support additional actors the NXB-KNX can be
configured to allocate additional resources.
