KNX / USB-C Interface

Code: EK-IG1-TP

New
KNX / USB-C Interface

Description

The EK-IG1-TP device is a bidirectional data interface between a PC or laptop equipped with a USB port and the KNX installation bus.

The EK-IG1-TP device can be used as a programming interface for ETS® software and supports KNX long frames. Long frames enable faster downloads to devices that support them and are required for KNX security.

The LEDs on the device indicate the operating status and communication errors on the bus. The USB connector (USB Type-C) is galvanically isolated from the KNX bus. Power is supplied via the KNX bus and the USB port with no external power supply required. It is designed for mounting on a 35 mm profile rail according to EN 60715.

Connections and Installation

  • KNX TP red/black bus terminal connection
  • USB Type-C connector for PC/laptop (maximum cable length: 5 m)
  • Mounting on 35 mm profile rail according to EN 60715 (1 modular unit = 18 mm)
  • No external power supply required (powered via USB and KNX bus)
