Programming KNX interface
By clicking on the PrimeLAN settings button on the menu on the left, you will access the
“Programming KNX” section.
This section contains three further sections, one for setting the parameters of the KNX
gateway and communicating with it, the other boards for translating of signals to and from the
KNX system.
CONTROL PANEL
CODE
When necessary for the security system, it is useful for the installer to create an additional
Prime user equipped with a PIN code, capable of carrying out commands and actions from
KNX devices even when validation from the Prime control panel is required.
SYNC FUNCTION
By activating this option, the PrimeLAN board sends an update of the control panel statuses to
the KNX system either automatically, whenever the connection with the system is lost, or
manually, on receipt of the specified telegram.
FROM CONTROL
PANEL TO KNX
This section allows you to define which panel events must be communicated to the KNX
system via commands or actions and to translate these into "KNX telegrams".
These events (maximum of 3000) are added to the list below via the appropriate button .
KNX SOLUTIONS
The "Add KNX telegram" window, which is opened by the button ..., provides the Open button
to open “.esf” format files, the solution files of KNX programming software.
Once one of these solutions has been selected the window will show a tree structure with the
various elements of the KNX system and the relative telegrams. A double click on one of these
items allows you to import the telegram into the appropriate field.
FROM KNX TO
CONTROL PANEL
This section allows you to define which signals from the KNX system in the form of "KNX
telegrams" must be communicated to the Prime control panel and which actions must be
performed.
