KINEX EK-BT1-TP Manual

Advanced IP-KNX interface for KNX and/or
Control4 installations
Codes: EK-BT1-TP
Advanced IP-KNX interface for KNX and/or Control4
installations is a web-server designed to offer a suite
of connectivity and functional services to a Control4
supervision system, when used in combination with
ekinex KNX devices.

Description

The EK-BT1-TP server interface is designed for instal-
lation on DIN profile rail and occupies 2 modules. The
12-24 Vdc power supply is external (power supply not in-
cluded). The product with hardware based on embedded
operating system, has a KNX TP node (twisted pair) and
can therefore be connected directly to the bus network of
KNX devices. Connectivity as an IP gateway for Control4
is via the Ethernet port. The integrated web server built
with HTML5 technology allows access to the configura-
tion environment.
With EK-BT1-TP it is possible to:
• Send commands and receive information from KNX de-
vices in the CONTROL4 system
• Monitor the building energy consumption and control
loads accordingly with the overall absorption with a de-
dicated graphic driver for Composer
• Make a continuous diagnostic check on the KNX de-
vices and receive notifications in case of malfunctions
• Define command sequences (scenes) and execute
them with simple connections in Composer with 3rd
party drivers
• Perform logics configurable with a graphic editor and
executed in background
• Send notifications to CONTROL4 in case of malfun-
ctions or configurable events on the bus

Operating, signaling and connection elements

EK-BT1-TP server is equipped with status LEDs, a RE-
SET button located under the front panel of the device,
terminals for power supply connection, KNX bus line and
Ethernet network. The server offers also an USB and
RS485 port, prepared for future use (not available at the
present moment in the configuration process).
