ABB i-bus ® Parameters Parameters General Note ETS (Engineering Tool Software) is used to parameterize the device. The following sections describe the device parameters based on the parameter windows. The parameter windows have a dynamic design. The parameter windows are shown or hidden depending on the number of Modbus servers.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters Parameter windows 7.2.1 General parameter window The following settings can be made in this parameter window: • General settings for KNX General settings for Modbus • Fig. 5: General parameter window Prerequisites for visibility • The parameter window is always visible.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.1 Read On Init Delay This parameter is used to define the sending delay of the GroupValueRead telegram for Group Objects with an initialization flag "I". Note I flag: If the device is reset, a new GroupValueRead telegram is sent after the device restarts. The purpose of this is to call the object value via a GroupValueResponse.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.3 In Operation This parameter is used to enable the Group Object In Operation. Readiness can be monitored by another KNX device using this Group Object. If a telegram is not received, the sending device could be faulty or the bus cable to the transmitting device could be interrupted.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.5 Baud rate This parameter is used to define the transmission speed of the Modbus RTU interface. The baud rate specifies the symbol rate of the data transmission. The baud rate must be the same for all devices in the Modbus system (client and server).
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.7 Response Timeout This parameter defines how many milliseconds the gateway waits between sending a request to a server and receiving a response. If the gateway receives a response before this time elapses, it resets the timer and continues polling.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.9 Poll After Write This parameter is used to activate the function Poll after write. Activating this allows the gateway to update the new status of the corresponding KNX Group Object immediately after a write command to a server.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.11 Device x Name This parameter is used to specify an individual description for a device. Option Free text entry Maximum 64 ASCII characters; the maximum number of characters may vary for other character formats. Note This parameter appears in two places: •...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.12 Device x Server Address This parameter is used to define the server address. Each Modbus server must be given a unique server address. The setting must be made on the server itself and must match this parameter.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.13 Device x Number of Data Points This parameter is used to define the number of data points on the Modbus device concerned. Option 0 … 10 … 100 Note This parameter appears in two places: •...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.1.14 Device x Active This parameter is used to define whether the device is activated. If the device is deactivated, all of its data points are automatically deactivated. Deactivated data points are taken into account in the Total Gateway Data Points parameter.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2 Config Device x parameter window Settings for the device are made in this parameter window. The visibility of the parameter window is dependent on the setting in the Number of Devices parameter. Fig. 6: Config Device x parameter window...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.1 Device x Name This parameter is used to specify an individual description for a device. Option Free text entry Maximum 64 ASCII characters; the maximum number of characters may vary for other character formats. Note This parameter appears in two places: •...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.2 Device x Server Address This parameter defines the server addresses. Each Modbus server must be given a unique server address. The setting must be made on the server itself and must match this parameter. Note Address duplication can cause conflicts.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.3 Device x Number of Data Points This parameter is used to define the number of data points on the Modbus device concerned. Option 0 … 10 … 100 Note This parameter appears in two places: •...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.4 Device x Active This parameter is used to define whether the device is activated. If the device is deactivated, all of its data points are automatically deactivated. Deactivated data points are taken into account in the Total Gateway Data Points parameter.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.5 "Device x Active" checkbox This parameter is used to define whether the individual data point is activated. Deactivated data points are taken into account in the Total Gateway Data Points parameter. Option The data point is deactivated.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.7 This parameter defines the KNX data point types (DPT). For a description of all the data point types available in the ETS application, click here. The selected DPT is shown in the name of the corresponding Group Object.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.9 Write Function This parameter is used to define which Modbus function codes are selected. The function code tells the server which memory type (i.e. register, coils, etc.) to access and write. Option 5: Write Single Coil...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.11 Format This parameter is used to define the format of the Modbus register data. If the function code (Read or Write) refers to coils or discrete inputs, the format is automatically set to "–". The parameter can no longer be adjusted. The only situation where all options are available is for function codes referring to registers.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.13 Register Address This parameter is used to define the address of the register (DEC) in the server's memory range. Option 0 … 65535 Prerequisites for visibility • This parameter is in the Config Device x parameter window.
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.15 # Bits This parameter is used to define the number of specific bits in the assigned register. The options in the # Bits parameter are only adjustable when the Format:4: BitFields option is selected. Option 1 …x …...
ABB i-bus ® Parameters 7.2.2.17 Operation This parameter is used to define the mathematical operation. The options Multiply by and Divide by are arithmetical connections that are always available. For unidirectional data points (either the Read Function or the Write Function), there are also logical connections available.
ABB i-bus ® Group Objects Group Objects Overview of Group Objects Either one or two Group Objects are enabled per data point, depending on the option selected in the Read Function and Write Function parameters. Note If both the Read Function and Write Function are selected, ETS creates 2 Group Objects (one Status Group Object and one Control Group Object).
Length Flags 1-active Status In Operation [1.011] 1.011 1 bit This Group Object cyclically sends an In operation telegram on the bus (ABB i-bus ® KNX). The sending cycle is set in parameter Sending cycle. Telegram value: • 1 = Active •...

ABB i-bus ® Planning and application 12.2.4 Polarity Attention must be paid to the correct polarity of the core pairs during installation because incorrect polarity will invert the data signals. Particularly if there are difficulties in relation to the installation of new devices, any troubleshooting should start with a check on the bus polarity.
ABB i-bus ® Planning and application 12.2.9 Troubleshooting To minimize potential sources of error, there are certain principles you should follow: Installation: • Check cable length, polarity, termination resistors, etc. Configuration: The server manual is available. • • The baud rate and parity must be the same for all the devices in the Modbus system.
