Description
The KNX Serial Interface BAOS 870 serves as a simple integration solution for non-KNX devices. Designed as a RS-232 interface, the KNX Serial 870 uses the proven FT1.2 protocol (PEI 10) as message format. Moreover, the device supports the BAOS protocol for accessing data points. This allows non-KNX devices to be fully integrated into a KNX network via a RS-232 link. For a quick start, a demonstration tool as well as an ETS entry with 250 group objects are available. Furthermore, individual ETS representations for OEM versions can be created.
For an increasing number of devices, such as in the areas of multimedia and security technology, the exchange of control information with the building automation is of significance. However, for certain devices it is preferable to not access the bus directly. Instead, a connection can be established to the KNX via RS-232.
