EKINEX EKINEX® EK-BA1-TP Line/area coupler

The ekinex® line / area coupler EK-BA1-TP can be used as a line coupler to connect a secondary line to a main line, as an area coupler to connect a main line to a backbone line or as a repeater.‎ The device assures galvanic insulation between the two connected lines and filters the traffic based on installation position or on filter tables in case of group-oriented communications.‎ The frontal LEDs indicate the status of each bus line and facilitate the tracing of communication problems due to bus load or to retransmission on both lines.‎ The device integrates a KNX bus communication module and is realized for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail.‎ • 30 Vdc power supply by KNX bus • Current consumption (from main bus line) ca.‎10 mA Main characteristics • Plastic casing • Frontal programming pushbutton and LED • LEDs indicators for status of KNX bus lines • Pushbutton for activating special functions • Connection to bus lines with KNX terminal blocks • Installation on 35 mm rail (according to EN 60715) • 2 modular units (1 MU = 18 mm) • IP20 protection degree (installed device) • Weight 100 g Functions • Suppress device configuration on the sub line • Enable or disable filtering of group messages • Suppress device oriented messages • Trace the traffic on the sub line • Reduced number of retransmissions
