Page 4: Overview
Overview You can use Carrier TruVu™ controllers to integrate KNX device(s) with your i-Vu® system. The controller communicates via IP with a KNX/IP interface or router (generically referred to as “KNX/IP adapter” in the rest of this document) to read and write KNX data points.
Page 5: Before-You-Begin Checklist
Points lists are usually available from the third-party manufacturer’s representative or website.  Verification that all communication properties have been set on the KNX adapters.  Verification of Ethernet communication with each KNX/IP adapter to which the Carrier controller connects  Experience creating control programs in the Snap application ...
Page 6: The Integration Process
The integration process Follow the steps in this document to integrate one or more third-party KNX devices into an i-Vu® system using a Carrier controller. To install and network the Carrier controller, see the controller’s Installation and Start-up guide. KNX Integration Guide Carrier Proprietary and Confidential ©2024 Carrier.
Page 7: Add The Knx/Ip Adapters To Your Network
• A KNX/IP interface is used to provide an IP tunnel between a KNX bus and an Ethernet network. It allows the Carrier controller on the same network to communicate with the devices on the KNX bus. • A KNX/IP router offers the same functions as the IP interface, and also provides the functionality of an “area coupler”...
