1 Description Introduction This document describes the integration of Modbus RTU installations into KNX systems using the Intesis KNX– Modbus Master gateway. The aim of this integration is to make accessible Modbus system signals and resources from a KNX control system or device, as if it was a part of the own KNX TP-1 (EIB) system and vice-versa.
KNX – Modbus Master Intesis User Manual r1.0 eng Functionality From the Modbus system point of view, after the start up process, Intesis reads continuously the points configured to be read in the Modbus RTU Slave devices and updates in its memory all the values received from the Modbus system.
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 Modbus system is also called from now on external system.
KNX – Modbus Master Intesis User Manual r1.0 eng Points definition Every internal datapoint to define has the following KNX properties: Property Description Object name Descriptive information about the Communication Object or Signal. It is the KNX data type used to code the signal's value. It will depend on the type of signal associated in the external system in every case.
KNX – Modbus Master Intesis User Manual r1.0 eng 3 Modbus interface Description Intesis gateway acts as master in the Modbus RTU Network and the other Modbus devices connected to the same network communicating with Intesis must be always slave devices. The Modbus protocol defines different types of function codes to use to read/write different type of registers that can be found in Modbus devices, and also different data formats to encode values.
KNX – Modbus Master Intesis User Manual r1.0 eng Points definition Each point defined in the Intesis gateway has the following Modbus features associated to it: Feature Description # Slave Modbus slave number to which the point belongs to. One of the following Modbus function codes can be used: Function code •...
