The function of the CBUSKNX01 is to convert between CBUS and KNX signals so as to allow both Bus system devices to be installed in a single system. The product translates telegrams from CBus to KNX and vice versa. This is done by mapping a CBus telegram to KNX and vice versa.
The Bus Translator software is used to configure the mapping of addresses between the Bus Systems. The software does not do any programming of CBus and KNX; this must be done by the respective CBus Toolkit and KNX ETS tools. In the CBus to KNX mapping page, a CBus Application and group address is mapped to a KNX Group address of telegram type On/Off (1-bit), Relative Dimming (4-bit), Time, Date. Floating Point (2-byte), and Scaling (1-byte) according to the requirements of the installer. When a CBus message of the specified Application and Group address is received by the Translator, it sends a
KNX telegram of the corresponding type to the KNX bus.
In the KNX to CBus Mapping page, a KNX group address of a specified type (On/Off, Relative Dimming, Time, Date, Floating, Scaling) is mapped to CBus Application and Group address. When a KNX telegram is received, the Translator will send a CBus Message of the specified Application and Group Address to CBus.
Up to 3000 group addresses can be added to the KNX to CBus and CBus to KNX tables.
The Date and Time can be synchronised between CBus and KNX.
