Page 5: Description
Modbus master device or system, as if it was a part of the own Modbus system and vice- versa. For this, IntesisBox Modbus Server - KNX acts as a Modbus slave device in its Modbus interface, allowing a Modbus master device to read and write its internal points. -

Only needed for configuration software Integration of KNX and Modbus using IntesisBox Modbus Server - KNX gateway The integration operation is as follow: From the KNX system point of view, in the start-up process of the gateway and also after a... - Page 7 Modbus Server – KNX ® User’s Manual r18 eng IntesisBox Also the following functionality is supported by the gateway: For every point, in the KNX part, one main group address (the sending group address) and different listening group addresses can be defined. With this, from KNX, every point can be addressed not only using its main group address but also using the other defined listening addresses for the point.

2.2 KNX TP-1 (EIB) IntesisBox Modbus Server - KNX supports the KNX TP-1 physical layer, as defined in the KNX standard. It behaves as one more device of the KNX system, with the same configuration and functional characteristics as other KNX devices. - Page 11 Also, a dummy ETS application is provided by Intesis Software (section 6), which can be imported into ETS. This application is nor downloadable into IntesisBox Modbus neither usable for IntesisBox configuration. Rather, it poses as a means of having a device in the ETS project representing the IntesisBox Modbus and its own datapoints/communication objects, and to which group addresses are associated.
