ASCII Server – KNX
TM
Intesis

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).
3. If using, ASCII Serial, connect the communication cable coming from the EIA485 port or the EIA232 port of the
ASCII installation to the port marked as Port B of Intesis (More details in section 2).
If using, ASCII TCP/IP, connect the communication cable coming from the Ethernet port of the ASCII installation to
the port marked as Ethernet of Intesis (More details in section 2).
4. Connect the KNX communication cable coming from the KNX network to the port marked as Port A on Intesis (More
details in section 2).
5. Power up Intesis. The supply voltage can be 9 to 30 Vdc or just 24 Vac. Take care of the polarity of the supply
voltage applied.
WARNING! In order to avoid earth loops that can damage Intesis 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.
•
The use of AC power supplies only if they are floating and not powering any other device.
6. If you want to connect using IP, connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Ethernet of
Intesis (More details in section 2). Using a hub or switch may be required.
If you want to connect using USB, connect the USB cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Console of
Intesis (More details in section 2).
7. Open Intesis MAPS, create a new project selecting a template for INASCKNX---0000.
8. Modify the configuration as desired, save it and download the configuration file to Intesis as explained in the Intesis
MAPS user manual.
9. Visit the Diagnostic section, enable COMMS and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and
some other RX frames. This means that the communication with the Centralized Controller and ASCII Master
devices is OK. In case there is no communication activity between Intesis and the Centralized Controller and/or
ASCII devices, check that those are operative: check the baud rate, the communication cable used to connect all
devices and any other communication parameter.
