Line/area coupler

The Ekinex® line?/?area coupler EK-BA1-TP can be used as a line coupler to connect a secondary line to a main line, as an area coupler to connect a main line to a backbone line or as a repeater. The device assures galvanic insulation between the two connected lines and filters the traffic based on installation position or on filter tables in case of group-oriented communications. The frontal LEDs indicate the status of each bus line and facilitate the tracing of communication problems due to bus load or to re-transmission on both lines. The device integrates a KNX bus communication module and is realized for mounting on a standard 35?mm DIN-rail. Technical data 30 Vdc power supply by KNX bus Current consumption (from main bus line) ca.10 mA Functions Suppress device configuration on the sub line Enable or disable filtering of group messages Suppress device oriented messages Trace the traffic on the sub line Reduced number of retransmissions Delivery Delivery includes two terminal blocks for connection to the bus lines.
