Modbus RTU Client to KNX TP Gateway

3. Overview

3.1. Inside the Package

Items included:
• Intesis INKNXMBM1000200 protocol translator gateway
• KSN label
• Installation sheet

3.2. Gateway Main Features

• Accredited with the main certifications for electronic equipment, including the official KNX certification. To
know more, check the website's Technical Documentation section.
• Uses KNX standard datapoints (DPTs). This guarantees a smooth integration in any KNX device or system.
• Programmable with the KNX official tool ETS.
• Flexible configuration of devices and signals.
• Export and import device templates through a DCA for quick integration.
• Every signal allows arithmetic and logical operations such as multiplication, division, equal to, greater than,
etc., to adapt them to the Modbus registers.
• Reduced dimensions (DxWxH): 32x36x92 mm.
• Up to 100 Modbus registers and 205 KNX communication objects.
• Up to 100 devices (when installing more than 32 devices, you will need a repeater. This is an inherent
limitation of the Modbus protocol).
• Two visible LEDs indicate the local operating status.

3.3. General Introduction

This document describes how to integrate Modbus RTU server devices into a KNX TP installation using the Intesis
Modbus RTU client to KNX TP gateway.
Figure 1. Integration of Modbus devices into a KNX TP installation
This gateway allows a KNX TP system to access the signals and resources of Modbus server devices. To do so,
the gateway is continuously polling the Modbus server devices and associates the Modbus signals to the KNX
communication objects; this way, the KNX TP system perceives all the Modbus devices as if they were one more
KNX device of the system and vice versa: the Modbus devices perceive the KNX system as if it was one more
Modbus server device of the network.
