    1.1 ZENNIO LINECOUPLER Figure 1 Zennio Linecoupler Zennio Linecoupler is the KNX line-coupling and line-repeating solution from Zennio. This device is intended to couple two KNX twisted-pair lines together. Its flexibility makes it possible to connect a KNX sub-line to a KNX mainline or a KNX mainline to a KNX backbone line (line coupler mode), or to simply link together two sub-line segments (line repeater mode).
  • Page 5 Zennio Linecoupler These are the most outstanding features of the device: Low Power Consumption. Galvanic Insulation of the connected lines. Traffic Filtering according to the project topology and to the built-in address table. Telegram Dropping. Blockage of Device-Configuration Telegrams (telegrams destined to physical addresses).

  • Page 7: Configuration

    2 CONFIGURATION 2.1 GENERAL CONFIGURATION Zennio Linecoupler can be used as a line coupler (for coupling both a sub-line to a mainline, or a mainline to a backbone line; the latter is normally referred to as “backbone coupler”) or as a repeater (for coupling two sub-line segments). A different application program is provided for each purpose.
  • Page 8 Zennio Linecoupler Note: the individual address of a line coupler needs to be of the form X.Y.0 (or X.0.0 in the case of working as a backbone coupler). Regarding telegram filtering, the line coupler implements two complementary (and optional) filters: Group address filtering: ETS automatically generates a group address table for the project loaded.
  • Page 9 Zennio Linecoupler Physical address filtering: when the line coupler receives a telegram where the destination address is a physical/individual address (for example, during downloads), it will compare such address with its own physical address (no particular filter table is required for physical address filtering, but a simple comparison).
  • Page 10 Zennio Linecoupler Mainline Status LED: shows the status of the primary bus. o OFF = error: mainline not connected or not powered o ON (green) = OK. o ON (orange) = manual function in execution. Sub-line Bus Status LED: shows the status of the secondary bus.

    Zennio Linecoupler 2.1.2 ZENNIO LINECOUPLER AS A REPEATER Figure 2 also includes a particular case where a repeater (marked as “LR”) is required: two separate sub-line segments (one of which with no other connection to the installation, in order to prevent forbidden situations such as in Figure 7), both containing devices, need to be linked for extending the sub-line.
  • Page 12: Manual Function Button

    2.2 MANUAL FUNCTION BUTTON Zennio Linecoupler features an additional pushbutton on the top cover, next to the status LEDs (see (4) in Figure 3). A 3-second press on this button will set the device in...

    Zennio Linecoupler 3 ETS PARAMETERISATION (LINECOUPLER) To begin with the parameterisation process of the device, it is necessary, once the ETS program has been opened, to import the database of the product (Linecoupler application program). Figure 8 Properties of the Linecoupler Application Program Next, the device should be added to the project where desired.

    Zennio Linecoupler 3.2 GENERAL As shown in Figure 9, this screen contains two parameters, both related to the manual mode of the device (see section 2.2): Fallback Time for Manual Operation: sets the maximum operation time for the manual mode. Once exceeded, the device will automatically leave manual mode and return to normal mode.
  • Page 15 Zennio Linecoupler The available parameters are described next: Configuration: permits selecting a general preset for the mainline, or enabling the manual configuration of each parameter (option “Configure”). The available presets are: “Groups: filter; Physical: block” (enables the group address filtering and drops all telegrams destined to physical addresses), “Groups, Physical: filter”...
  • Page 16 Zennio Linecoupler “Filter” (default option; telegrams will be filtered, dropping the corresponding ones; see section 2.1.1). Note: transmitting all the telegrams (no telegram filtering or dropping) is only intended for testing purposes and may cause risks or conflicts in the KNX installation if permitted permanently.
  • Page 17: Sub-Line

    Zennio Linecoupler 3.4 SUB-LINE This screen permits parameterising the behaviour of the line coupler regarding the sub- line, that is, when telegrams are being transferred towards the sub-line. As shown in Figure 11, the available parameters are completely analogous to those in the “Main line”...
  • Page 18: Ets Parameterisation (Linerepeater)

    4.1 DEFAULT PARAMETERISATION When entering the parameter edition of Zennio Linecoupler for the first time, a window similar to Figure 13 will be shown, where three main tabs are available: General, Main line and Line. Note that this application program does not implement communication objects.

    Zennio Linecoupler 4.2 GENERAL As shown in Figure 13, this screen contains two parameters, both related to the manual mode of the device (see section 2.2): Fallback Time for Manual Operation: sets the maximum operation time for the manual mode. Once exceeded, the device will automatically leave manual mode and return to normal mode.
  • Page 20 Zennio Linecoupler The available parameters are described next: Configuration: as in the Linecoupler application program, this parameter permits selecting a general preset for the mainline, or enabling the manual configuration of each parameter (option “Configure”). However, the only available preset in the Linerepeater application program is “Groups, Physical: route (default option;...

    Zennio Linecoupler Send Confirmation on Own Telegrams: permits enabling (“Yes”) or disabling (“No”; default option) self-acknowledgment. This extra feature offers the possibility to send an ACK to the destination line immediately after sending the telegram itself, so the telegram will show as confirmed on it (therefore preventing repetitions in case of faulty projects, etc.) even if no...
