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.

Crestron CI-KNX as interface to KNX If the IP-configuration of the Crestron CI-KNX is valid, then this device can act as an interface to KNX. In order to use this function, go to the ETS (version 3.0c or higher), take Extras/Options and then the tab communication: Click on Configure Interfaces…...
ETS. To do so, one needs the ETS library file included in Crestron CI-KNX archive (CI-KNX.vd2). Once you’ve added the CI- KNX you can right click on it and choose “Edit Parameters…” to open the CI-KNX configuration screen..

KNX Control Interface Crestron CI-KNX This will open the CI-KNX configuration screen. At this screen you can add new KNX objects or you can change the general settings as described in the previous paragraph. Every object has the following parameters: ...
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.
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.
The different types of object modules For every different data type in the KNX/KNX system (also called EIS type) there is a specific Crestron module, this will allow you to send or read out any specific KNX command or signal.
(e.g. level 70%). Therefore the KNX 1Byte module requires an analog value on its input, it also gives out an analog value as feedback: KNX Control Interface: Crestron CI-KNX 17 Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 0008...
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).
“Transmit for received data” checkbox (page 9- 10). Therefore, KNX Data Type module contains a digital input called “Poll_Value” for polling the value for the KNX data type. KNX Control Interface: Crestron CI-KNX 19 Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 0008...

Use the “Poll_Value” inputs on the KNX Data Type modules to poll for individual values once the program is started. Polling is only possible if you enable the “Read” flag in the ETS software. 20 KNX Control Interface: Crestron CI-KNX Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 0008...
