Safety information

Important information

Read these instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become familiar

with the device before trying to install, operate, service, or maintain it. The

following special messages may appear throughout this manual or on the

equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that

clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

The addition of either symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label indicates

that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the

instructions are not followed.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury

hazards. Obey all safety messages that accompany this symbol to avoid possible

injury or death.

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in

death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result

in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in

minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

Safety information

For your safety

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Safe electrical installation must be carried out only by qualified electrical

personnel. Qualified electrical personnel must prove profound knowledge in the

following areas:

• Connecting to installation networks

• Connecting several electrical devices

• Laying electric cables

• Connecting and establishing KNX networks

• Safety standards, local wiring rules and regulations

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Product information

The Spacelogic KNX Coupler is a KNX coupler in a compact design. It connects

two KNX bus segments (for example, a KNX main line with a KNX area).

The device supports KNX Security. The option can be activated in the ETS. As a

secure line coupler, the device enables the forwarding of both secured and

unsecured communication. In addition, access to the device itself (example for a

download) is protected by KNX Security.

The device has a filter table (8k bytes) and ensures a galvanic separation between

the lines. The coupler supports KNX long-frames and is compatible with the ETS®

software.

The buttons on the front side allow to deactivate the telegram filters for test

purposes. The LEDs indicate operating conditions as well as communication

errors on the KNX bus.

The power is supplied via the KNX bus (main line and sub line).

KNX Security

The KNX standard was extended by KNX Security to protect KNX installations

from unauthorized access. KNX Security reliably prevents the monitoring of

communication as well as the manipulation of the system.

KNX Data Security describes the encryption at telegram level. This means that the

telegrams on the KNX bus are also encrypted.

KNX Data Security for the device

The KNX Coupler also supports KNX Data Security to protect the device from

unauthorized access from the KNX bus. If the KNX Coupler is programmed via the

KNX bus, this is done with encrypted telegrams.

NOTE: Encrypted telegrams are longer than the previously used unencrypted

ones. For secure programming via the bus, it is therefore necessary that the

interface used (for example, USB) and any intermediate line couplers support

the so-called KNX long frames.

The secured device configuration is also contained in KNX data security.

KNX Data Security for forwarded telegrams

Telegrams from the bus that do not address the KNX Coupler as a device are

forwarded or blocked according to the filter settings (parameters and filter table). It

does not matter whether the telegrams are unencrypted or encrypted. Forwarding

takes place exclusively on the basis of the destination address. The security

properties are checked by the respective recipient.

MTN6500-0101_SW_EN 7

Installation and connection

The device is designed for installation on a DIN rail with a width of 1 unit (18 mm).

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEVICE DAMAGE

• Ensure a safety clearance of minimum 4 mm between the individual cores of

the 230 V supply cable and the KNX line , in accordance with IEC 60664-

• Ensure that the installed devices have minimum basic insulation next to the

device.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Coupler function (TP Routing)

The KNX Coupler operates as a line or backbone coupler. In both cases, the

Twisted Pair (TP) is used as a backbone.

The following table shows the application possibilities of the Spacelogic KNX

Coupler:

Classical topology

(without IP)

Area

(Backbone)

Coupling KNX Line Coupler (max. 15)

Main line TP

Coupling KNX Line Coupler (max. 15x15)

Line TP

KNX Coupler as line coupler

The individual address assigned to the Spacelogic KNX Coupler determines

whether the device operates as a line or area coupler.

If the individual address is in the form of x.y.0 (x, y: 1…15), the router operates as

a line coupler. If it is in the form of x.0.0 (x: 1…15), the coupler acts as a backbone

coupler.

MTN6500-0101_SW_EN 11

Coupler function (TP Routing)

KNX Coupler as area and line coupler

The KNX Coupler has a filter table and thus contributes to reducing the bus load.

The filter table (8 kB) supports the extended group address range (main groups

0…31) and is automatically generated by the ETS.

KNX Coupler as repeater

The KNX Coupler can also be used as a repeater. In this case, the individual

address has the form x.y.z, where z must not be equal to 0. The filter settings in

the parameter dialog of the ETS are ineffective in repeater mode.

Manual operation

For testing purposes (for example, during commissioning) the configured routing

settings (filter or block) can be bypassed via manual operation.

With the button Pass GA the forwarding of all group addressed telegrams can

be activated.

With the button Pass IA the forwarding of all individually addressed telegrams

can be activated.

This is visualized by flashing of the Mode LED 1x/s (orange). If both modes are

activated the Mode LED flashes 2x/s.

Pressing button Pass GA or button Pass IA again these settings can be

selected and deselected on demand.

If neither programming mode nor manual mode are active the LED can

visualize configuration errors.

ETS project

If the first product is inserted into a project with KNX Security, the ETS prompts

you to enter a project password.

This password protects the ETS project from unauthorized access. This password

is not a key that is used for KNX communication. The entry of the password can

be bypassed with Cancel, but this is not recommended for security reasons.

ETS requires a device certificate for each device with KNX Security that is created

in the ETS. This certificate contains the serial number of the device as well as an

intangible key (FDSK = Factory Default Setup Key).

MTN6500-0101_SW_EN 19

ETS project

The certificate is printed as text on the device. It can also be conveniently scanned

from the printed QR code via a camera connected to the PC that runs the ETS.

The KNX Secure code can be found on the right side of the device. The small KNX

Secure code sticker with labeling field at the bottom of the device can be removed

for documentation purpose.

The list of all device certificates can be managed in the ETS Overview > Projects

> Security window.

This initial key is required to safely put a device into operation from the start. Even

if the ETS download is recorded by a third party, the third party has no access to

replaced by the ETS with a new key that is generated individually for each device.

This prevents persons or devices who may know the initial key from accessing the

device. The initial key is only reactivated after a master reset.

The serial number in the certificate enables the ETS to assign the correct key to a

device during a download.
