Line / area coupler
SYSTEM MODULES
Description
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.
