IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX

1. Description

1.1 Introduction

This document describes the integration of KNX TP-1 (EIB) systems with BACnet ASHRAE
135 – 2001 Annex J - BACnet protocol compatible devices or systems using the gateway
IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX.
This document assumes that the user is familiar with KNX and BACnet/IP technology and
technical terms.
From now on, and with the aim of easy the read of this document, the words "gateway" or
"IntesisBox" are used instead of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX. Any other use of the
word "gateway" not meaning IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX will be specifically
indicated.
The aim of this integration is to make accessible KNX system signals and resources from a
BACnet/IP based control system or device, as if it was a part of the own BACnet system and
vice-versa. For this, the gateway acts as a BACnet/IP Server device in its BACnet interface,
allowing other BACnet/IP devices to perform subscription (COV) requests, and also read and
write its internal points. From the KNX system point of view, the gateway simulates a KNX
device and acts as if it was one more device into the KNX system.
