2  Application 

The KNX field line coupler (from DIN rail) is used to connect a main KNX-TP line with a secondary KNX-TP 
line, providing galvanic insulation between the two. 
The  device  filters  the  traffic  between  the  two  lines  (coupler)  or  forwards  packs  from  the  main  line  to  the 
secondary  one  (repeater).  The  coupler  can  be  used  to  connect  a  line  to  a  main  line  or  a  main  line  to  a 
backbone line.  
 
The device is equipped with: 
 

 

1.  Main line status LED 

off 

 main line error or device not connected to the bus 

fixed green 

 main line functioning 

fixed green and red 

 manual function active 

 

2.  Sub line status LED 

off 

 sub line error or line not connected to the bus 

fixed green 

 sub line functioning 

 

3.  Main line data traffic status LED 

off 

 no data traffic on the main line 

flashing green 

 data traffic in progress on the main line 

flashing red 

 data transmission error on the main line 

 

4.  Sub line data traffic status LED 

off 

 no data traffic on the sub line 

flashing green 

 data traffic in progress on the sub line 

flashing red 

 data transmission error on the sub line 

 

5.  Status LED for forwarding telegrams with group addresses 

off 

 different telegram forwarding rules between main and sub line 

fixed green 

 telegram forwarding according to the filter table 

fixed green and red 

 transmit all telegrams 

fixed red 

 block telegrams 

 

6.  Status LED for forwarding telegrams with physical addresses 

off 

 different telegram forwarding rules between main and sub line 

fixed green 

 telegram forwarding according to the filter table 

fixed green and yellow 

 transmit all telegrams
