KNX visualization via Ethernet (LAN)
Visualization – up to 200 times faster with KNXnet/IP
When retrieving large numbers of data points cyclically for visualization
in large projects, waiting periods can sometimes occur while data is
being updated.
Use your LAN as the main and backbone line and connect your PC
for visualization to the LAN. This makes visualization up to 200 times
faster: you can monitor larger numbers of data points and the data
volume is no longer important.
Benefits
• LAN as the main and backbone line
• Visualization up to 200 times faster than previously
• High data volume possible
• No data concentrators needed
Follow these steps
• Commission the KNX devices, including the IP router N 146/02
• Install the visualization software
• Find and connect the IP router N 146/02 as the visualization interface
• Configure the visualization
• Observe the related safety and security requirements governing the
LAN
You will need
• One IP router N 146/02 per line
• IP Control Center N 152
• 24-V power supply for IP interface N 146/02, e.g. Power over
Ethernet, unchoked bus voltage
• Ethernet network (LAN)
• ETS; see knx.org for the latest version
Note:
LAN stands for Local Area Network. In LANs, data transport is orga-
nized using the IP (Internet Protocol) – the standard network protocol
on the Internet.
Multicast-capable: multicast telegrams can simultaneously operate
several IP devices in the LAN. In the case of network components (net-
work switches, routers) this requires the appropriate configuration.
