IntesisBox® ASCII Server - KNX / EIB (4000 points)

Gateway for integration of KNX / EIB systems into ASCII enabled control systems.

Integrate KNX based lighting/blind control systems into your ASCII enabled control system (AMX, Crestron, LiteTouch-) "talking" simple text messages.

The KNX side of IntesisBox

IntesisBox acts as one more device into the KNX system, maintaining always in memory an updated mirror of the KNX points declared in its configuration table, ready to be served to the ASCII side when requested. The IntesisBox´s KNX TP-1 (EIB) interface connects directly to the EIB bus and is opto-isolated from the rest of the internal electronics.

When starting-up or after an EIB bus reset, IntesisBox can send read requests to KNX to get the current values for those points required (critical signals needed to be updated in any moment in the ASCII controller), this is configurable per point. More than one EIB group address can actuate on the same IntesisBox´s point.


The ASCII side of IntesisBox

ASCII interface of IntesisBox uses serial RS232 communication (baud rate configurable). Points in KNX can be read/written easily from the ASCII side by means of simple messages. IntesisBox can be configured to notify to the ASCII side whatever change of
value detected for a point by means of spontaneous messages sent through the ASCII interface. This is configurable individually per point (no need of continuous polling by the ASCII controller device).
