KNX – M-Bus
®
IntesisBox

Powering the device

A power supply working with any of the voltage range allowed is needed (check section 5). Once connected the RUN
led (Figure above) will turn on.
WARNING! In order to avoid earth loops that can damage the gateway and/or any other equipment connected to it,
we strongly recommend the use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to earth.
Never use a DC power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth.

Connection to KNX

Connect the KNX TP1 bus to connectors A3 (+) and A4 (-) of gateway's PortA. Respect the polarity.

Connection to M-Bus

The gateway connects to the M-Bus system directly without requiring any external RS232 or RS485 to M-Bus level
converter.
Connect the M-Bus bus to connectors B1 (M-) and A2 (M+) of gateway's PortB.
Remember that the IntesisBox provides 36VDC M-Bus voltage to the bus, acting as a M-Bus level converter as well.
In case there is no response from the M-Bus device(s) to the frames sent by IntesisBox, check that they are operative
and reachable from the network connection used by IntesisBox. You can use an EIA-485-to-USB converter and a M-
Bus Master software (such as MBSheet or similar) to double check the M-Bus installation.

Connection to the configuration tool

This action allows the user to have access to configuration and monitoring of the device (more information can be
found in the configuration tool User Manual). Two methods to connect to the PC can be used:
•
Ethernet: Using the Ethernet port of IntesisBox.
•
USB: Using the console port of IntesisBox, connect a USB cable from the console port to the PC.
