4.4.7 “dispatch.txt” gateway file
The assignment between KNX data points and PROFINET data points is made in
the “dispatch.txt” configuration file.
Table 4-9: Structure of the “dispatch.txt” gateway file
Syntax of a dispatch entry:
[<route source> <type source>
<address>]
target = <route target> <type
target> <address>
<route source>: Source driver routing
address
<type source>: Source driver name
<route target>: Target driver routing
address
<type target>: Target driver name
<address>: Data point address
Note
For a data point to be used in the dispatch.txt
file, the data point must have previously been
declared in the driver-specific *.txt files.
# S7 --> KNX
[1190 pnetd outbyte 0]
target = 70 eib 1/1/2
[1190 pnetd outbit 2.0]
target = 70 eib 1/1/4
# KNX --> S7
[70 eib 1/1/1]
target = 1190 pnetd inbyte 0
[70 eib 1/1/3]
target = 1190 pnetd inbit 2.0
[70 eib 1/1/5]
target = 1190 pnetd inbyte 3

“General > Overview”.
In the dispatch file, you can use formulas for calculating data points. For more
