  • Page 15 If you change the parameter “Download of data point description”, all data point descriptions will be exchanged in ETS. Parameter: The Crestron CI-KNX has 16 free parameters, which can be read out over Ethernet. These can be used for client specific purposes. Parameter Byte: For each of the 16 parameters, a value between 0 and 255 can be entered.

    Group Address will be triggered accordingly. E.g. when a lighting zone switch object is added to this Group Address, then sending a 1 to the CI-KNX object will turn the lighting zone to 1 and sending a 0 will turn it off.
  • Page 20: Programming Software

    Crestron has developed an assortment of Windows -based software tools to develop a controlled system. You can create a program to control the Crestron CI-KNX using the Crestron programming tool SIMPL Windows.. For the minimum recommended software versions, visit the Version Tracker page of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/versiontracker).

    Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. One has the option to upload programs via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox. For details on uploading and upgrading, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file or the Crestron Toolbox help file.

    Values to set the correct temperature (1800d, 2200d) depend on the KNX device. Data type 4 Byte The 4 byte module is almost identical to the “Crestron CI-KNX 2 Byte v1.6” module. In this case however the value to be controlled and read out is 32 bit (0d to 4294967295d).
