The KNX Modbus RTU Gateway 886 has just become even more powerful with the launch of the KNX Modbus RTU Gateway 886.1 secure. Now equipped with KNX Security support and a range of new features, this upgraded model offers even greater flexibility and performance.
The configuration options for mapping Modbus registers to KNX data points have been expanded, bringing them in line with the capabilities of the KNX Modbus TCP Gateway 716 secure.
The new KNX data point converter simplifies the process of converting between different data point types (DPTs) and scaling value ranges, ensuring seamless integration with a wide variety of devices.
Powering the device is straightforward: the 886.1 is powered via the KNX bus, so no additional auxiliary voltage is required.
A key enhancement in this release is the ability to test Modbus functions directly from the ETS parameter area. This feature eliminates the need for multiple downloads during communication tests. Now, test queries can be made directly through the gateway, even without a full KNX configuration—just program the gateway’s physical address. This means settings can be tested before completing the ETS configuration, saving time and simplifying the installation process.
Thanks to our growing KNX community, we offer a range of sample configurations to facilitate integration with devices like inverters, heat pumps, energy meters, and more. These configurations can be easily imported into ETS using the free DCA Weinzierl Modbus RTU Gateway 886.1 ConfigTool.
The DCA (Device Configuration Assistant) allows you to save and transfer configurations, and even import settings from the previous model. This feature encourages users to share their configurations with the community, strengthening the knowledge base and helping others streamline their setups.
