ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 1 Description 1.1 Introduction This document describes the integration of KNX installations into ASCII serial (EIA232 or EIA485) or ASCII IP compatible devices and systems using the Intesis ASCII Server – KNX gateway. The aim of this integration is to make accessible KNX system signals and resources from any system capable to be programmed to read and write simple text messages through EIA232 or EIA485 serial port or Ethernet TCP/IP port (for example Extron, LiteTouch systems).
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 1.2 Functionality From the KNX system point of view, after the start-up process, the gateway reads the points configured to be read at the start and remains listening for changes of value of group addresses associated with internal data points. Any of these changes, when detected, are immediately updated in memory and become available to be read by the ASCII system in any moment.
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 2 KNX System In this section, a common description for all Intesis KNX series gateways is given, from the point of view of KNX system which is called from now on internal system The ASCII system is also called from now on external system. 2.1 Description Intesis KNX connects directly to the KNX TP-1 (EIB) bus and behaves as one more devices into the KNX system, with the same configuration and operational characteristics as other KNX devices.
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 3 ASCII interface This section describes the ASCII interface of the Intesis, its configuration and functionality. 3.1 Description The gateway can be connected to any ASCII enabled device using its EIA232 interface (DB9 connector DTE), EIA485 interface or TCP/IP (Ethernet connector) and offers through this interface the possibility of supervision and control of its internal KNX addresses using simple ASCII messages.

ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN Defines the current function (read, write or both) to be used from the ASCII side with this register. It can’t be configured as it is directly set when selecting the current KNX flags applying to the communication object.
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 3.6 ASCII messages Communication from the ASCII side is carried out thanks to simple ASCII messages. Note that these messages can be configured from the configuration tool to match the ASCII master device. The ASCII messages used to read/write points into the gateway through this interface have the following format •...
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 4 Connections Find below information regarding the Intesis connections available. Power Supply Ethernet Power Supply Must use NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV ASCII IP rated power supply. If using DC power supply: Respect polarity applied of terminals (+) and (-).
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 4.1 Powering the device A power supply working with any of the voltage range allowed is needed (check section 6). 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: •...
ASCII port of Intesis as well as the KNX devices connected to their corresponding ports as well. Connectors, connection cables, PC to use the configuration tool and other auxiliary material, if needed, are not supplied by HMS Industrial Networks SLU for this standard integration. Items supplied by HMS Networks for this integration are: • Intesis gateway.
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 5.2.3 Configuration tab Select the Configuration tab to configure the connection parameters. Three subsets of information are shown in this window: General (Gateway general parameters), ASCII (ASCII interface configuration) and KNX (KNX TP-1 interface configuration).
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN • Communication type: Select if ASCII communication will be through TCP/IP, serial (EIA232 or EIA485) or both. • Notification on ASCII Value: Gateway will allow sending spontaneous messages to the ASCII bus when a change of value is received in the KNX side.
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 5.2.5 Sending the configuration to Intesis When the configuration is finished, follow the next steps. 1.- Save the project (Menu option Project->Save) on your hard disk (more information in Intesis MAPS User Manual).
ASCII Server – KNX Intesis User Manual r1.4 EN 5.3 Set-up procedure 1. Install Intesis MAPS on your laptop, use the setup program supplied for this and follow the instructions given by the Installation wizard. 2. Install Intesis in the desired installation site. Installation can be on DIN rail or on a stable not vibrating surface (DIN rail mounted inside a metallic industrial cabinet connected to ground is recommended).
