KNX/ETS-Primer

In this course about the KNX protocol and the commissioning software "ETS5" we deal with all facets of the KNX protocol and the parameterization within the software "ETS5".

We will start with a brief look at the history of the KNX protocol and the associated KNX association.

We then deal with the numerous communication media types offered by the KNX protocol. We look at all media types starting with twisted pair, power line, radio frequency up to internet protocol.

Once we understand the media types, we take a closer look at the various components and device types. We take a look at sensors, actuators and system components.

In order for a KNX network to function at all, we first have to get an overview of the topology, i.e. the network structure. Therefore we devote a separate section to topology.

As soon as the topology is understood, we can already look at the digital structure of KNX. This includes physical addresses, group addresses and communication objects.

Now that we have an overview of the KNX protocol, we start working together in the ETS5. First we get an overview of the different functions. Later in the course, we then parameterize all the important functions together in the ETS5 and then test them live on devices.
