KNX Modbus RTU Gateway 886 now with KNX Security

We are extending our portfolio and presenting the new KNX Modbus RTU Gateway 886.1 secure with KNX Security and numerous other functions.

The device is supplied with power via the KNX bus and requires no additional auxiliary voltage.

The proven KNX Modbus RTU Gateway 886 is now even more powerful. The new KNX Modbus RTU Gateway 886.1 secure supports KNX Security and offers numerous other functions.

The configuration options for transferring the Modbus registers to KNX data points have been extended and brought in line with our KNX Modbus TCP Gateway 716 secure.

What doesn’t fit will be made to fit: The new KNX data point converter enables comfortable conversion between different data point types (DPTs) and scaling of the value ranges.

The new device is supplied with power via the KNX bus and requires no additional auxiliary voltage.

An important extension is the possibility to test Modbus functions directly from the parameter area of the ETS. This means that multiple downloads for communication tests can be avoided. The test queries can be made directly in the ETS via the gateway. This is even possible without KNX configuration, only the physical address of the gateway needs to be programmed. In this way, the settings can already be tested before the ETS configuration, which significantly simplifies and speeds up the installation process.

Thanks to our active and constantly growing KNX community, we can provide sample configurations. In co-operation with various manufacturers and with our customers, we have already been able to realize many applications. The sample configurations simplify the connection of a wide range of device classes (inverters, heat pumps, energy meters, etc.). The DCA sample configurations can be found on the product page and can be imported into the ETS using our free DCA Weinzierl Modbus RTU Gateway 886.1 ConfigTool.

The DCA can save existing configurations and makes it easy to transfer existing configurations. Configurations that were created with the predecessor model can also be imported. You are also welcome to make your configurations available and thus strengthen the community and support other users.
