Safety 4 (32) Safety Connecting power with reverse polarity or using the wrong type of power supply may damage the equipment. Make sure that the power supply is connected correctly and of the recommended type. This product contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.
Product Description General The Anybus Modbus to KNX Gateway is intended for integration of Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP installations into KNX monitoring and control systems. On the KNX side the gateway acts as a KNX device, and on the Modbus side it emulates a Modbus RTU Master device and/or a Modbus TCP Client device.
Product Description 6 (32) KNX Interface The gateway connects directly to the KNX TP-1 (EIB) bus and behaves as one more device in the KNX system, with the same configuration and operational characteristics as other KNX devices. Internally, the circuit part connected to the KNX bus is opto-isolated from the rest of the electronics.
Product Description 7 (32) Modbus Interface Modbus TCP basically embeds the Modbus RTU protocol in TCP/IP frames. TCP/IP allows faster communication and a longer distance between the master and slave devices than RTU communication over serial line. Modbus TCP allows communication over an existing TCP/IP infrastructure such as a LAN, WAN or the Internet.

Installation 12 (32) Mechanical Installation The unit should be mounted on a standard DIN rail or screw-mounted onto a flat surface inside a properly grounded metallic enclosure. The unit should not be mounted outdoors or exposed to direct sunlight, water, high humidity or dust. Make sure that there is enough space for the connectors and that the LED indicators and configuration switches are accessible after the unit is mounted.
Installation 13 (32) Connecting the KNX interface Connect the KNX TP1 bus to Port A on the gateway. Observe the correct polarity of the connections, see Connectors, p. If there is no response on the KNX interface, check that the devices on the bus are connected and operating correctly, and that traffic to/from the gateway is not restricted.
Installation 14 (32) Connecting the Power Supply Connect a suitable power supply to the Power terminal. See Technical Data, p. 31 regarding the power supply requirements. Observe the correct polarity of the connections, see Connectors, p. Configuration Connections Connect the computer to be used for configuration to the Console port on the front panel of the gateway using a standard USB type B cable.
Anybus Configuration Manager (MAPS) 15 (32) Anybus Configuration Manager (MAPS) ® Anybus Configuration Manager (MAPS) is a free Windows -based software tool which is used to monitor and configure the AnybusModbus to KNX Gateway. Installation Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of your local network environment before installing and using this software.
