KNX Educational Kit: Supervised By: Omar Salim PHD Mahmoud Taha

KNX is a standard OSI-based network communications protocol for building automation. KNX is the successor to, and convergence of, three previous standards: the European Home Systems Protocol (EHS), BatiBUS, and the European Installation Bus (EIB or Instabus).

INTRODUCTION
Getting started with KNX.
• KNX is international building control standard.
• Successor to and convergence of 3 previous standard
 EHS
 BatiBUS
 EIB
• And compliant to
 EN50090
 EN13321-1
 ISO/IEC14543
Making it the world’s only open standard for home and building
control.
Benefits
• There is no need for control center as each device has each
own microcontroller.
• Uses only one bus for data and control.
• Energy and Cost efficiency.
• Programming of a range of products from range of
manufactures using a single software tool.
• Time saving-reduces design and installation

Bus communication
The KNX network
The KNX bus enables the devices to communicate with each other in form of telegrams.

The KNX bus uses CSMA/CA.


CSMA = Carrier Sense Multiple Access.
CA = Collision Avoidance

Transmission media:
1. Twisted pair (TP).
2. Power line (PL).
3. Radio frequency (RF).
4. Fiber Optics.
5. Ethernet.
The KNX network

A full KNX network is structured on three levels. It consists of:

Backbone (area line) • Main lines Lines


The KNX network
• Syntax: Area.Line.Device.
• Each area – 15 main lines.
• Each main line – 15 lines.
• Each line – 64 devices ( Could be extended to
256 using couple as a line repeater.
• Each line needs its own power supply.
• Theoretically a full scale KNX network
can contain 57600 devices.
Practical example
ADDRESSING
• Individual addressing = Physical addressing.
• Group Addressing = Logical addressing.
• 1. Two layer Addressing ( Main group 0 – 15 / Subgroup 0 – 2047) .
• 2. Three layer addressing ( Main group 0 – 15 / Middle group 0 – 7 / Sub group 0 – 255).
Panel Hardware
KNX Topologies of connection
• The topologies line, star and tree can be combined
• Rings have to be avoided
KNX panel connections
KNX Panel Connections
• KNX Bus connects KNX
components , delivers the
power and transmits the
signals (telegrams) between
them .
