KNX Driver

The KNX driver enables Plant SCADA to communicate with KNX networks and devices using Ethernet and UDP.

KNX is an open standard that has emerged from Europe to service the building and home automation industry. It can be used to control a wide range of equipment and applications associated with building management, including lighting, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, monitoring systems, alarms, security and load management.

KNX represents an extension of the European Integration Bus (EIB) standard, with additional physical layers and configuration modes built on to the EIB communication stack.

The KNX driver is based on a subset of the standards described in KNX Version 1.1. It is designed for run-time operation only (programming is not supported) for the purpose of reading and writing group address values.

Citect SCADA 7.20 or later (or a later version of Plant SCADA) is required to use the KNX Driver.

Note: The KNX driver has been tested on Citect SCADA v7.20 SP4 and Citect SCADA v7.40 SP2 for backward compatibility.
