● State factors to select KNX system

All strong brands in thebuilding installation sector are pushing KNX technology
KNX products are tested for conformity by an independent third party test laboratories
KNX products are compatible with products from all manufacturers (interworking)
The PC software ETS can be used to plan, design and commission installations of KNX-
certified products from any manufacturer
KNXsupports all communication media

● How many devices can be connected in the KNX system?

A KNX system can consist of more than 50,000 devices and up to 57353 devices.
● What communication media are available in the KNX system?
KNXTwistedPair(KNXTP) – communication via a twisted pair data cable (bus cable) •
KNX Powerline (KNX PL) – uses the existing 230 V mains network • KNX Radio
Frequency (KNX RF) – communication via radio signal • KNX IP – communication via
Ethernet
● What type of cable is required to connect KNX devices ?
KNX Twisted Pair (TP)
● What is the transfer rate in KNX TP bus ?
9,600 bit/s
● How many devices can be connected in a single KNX line ?
A single line can have 255 devices
● How many repeaters can be installed in a single KNX line ?
3 repeaters
● Explain Individual address of a KNX device
The first number denotes the number of the area
The secondnumberdenotes the number of the line
 The third number is a sequential number indicating the device’s position in the line
● State topology types that can be used in KNX system
TP,PL,RF,IP
● State components of KNX device

● How can KNX devices be programmed ?

Easy Mode (E-Mode)
System Mode (S-Mode)
● State configuration modes for KNX Devices
Push Button Mode (PB-Mode)
Controller Mode (Ctrl-Mode)
● State main functions of ETS
-Downloading manufacturers’ application software from the internet (online catalogue) or
reading in a manufacturer’s database (e.g. as offered by the manufacturer via his website)
Setting the parameters for the application software
-Using Group Addresses to link the Group Objects for of the individual Application Programs
Downloading application software into KNX devices from ETS
● State simple steps for KNX installation
Creating a project with the required data.
Depicting the layout of the building and the devices in it.
Defining the parametersfor KNX products as required.
Defining the functions ofthe system and the Group Addresses.
Linking the Group Objects of the KNX products via Group Addresses.
