5.1.2. KNX Points Definition
The internal datapoints have the following KNX properties:
Property
If enabled, this signal will be active; if not, the behavior will be as if the point was not
Active
defined. This allows you to deactivate points instead of deleting them, so that you can save
those points for future use.
#
This is the number of the signal.
Object Name
Descriptive information about the signal. You can edit these names.
This is the KNX data type used to code the signal's value, which depends on the type of signal
DPT
associated with the Modbus side.
5.2. Modbus Interface
This Intesis gateway acts as a client device in the Modbus RTU network. Other Modbus devices connected to the
same line and communicating with the Intesis gateway must always be server devices.
The Modbus protocol defines different types of function codes to read/write the registers of Modbus devices. It
also defines different data formats to encode values.
In the Modbus interface, you can configure the data encoding used for 16 bits registers (big-endian or little-
endian). This is the byte order for data encoding (MSB .. LSB or LSB .. MSB)
specifies this data encoding as big-endian, it varies depending on the manufacturer and/or the type of server.
5.2.1. Modbus Points Definition
Each signal point defined in the Intesis gateway has the following associated Modbus features:
Feature
# Server
Modbus server address where the point belongs to.
One of the following Modbus data coding formats can be used:
• 1 - Read Coils
• 2 - Read Discrete Inputs

• 3 - Read Holding Registers

• 4 - Read Input Registers
• 5 - Write Single Coil

The gateway could not allocate an internal communication path from the input to the output port for
processing the request. Example: The gateway is misconfigured or overloaded
The target device does not respond. Example: The target device is not present on the network.
