The ComBridge Multi Control Gateway (MCG)combines KNXnet/IP functionality with standard KNX functions such as time scheduling, scenes,event trigger and logic function in a single device.
As a KNXnet/IP device, the ComBridge MCG supports two types of connection:
The KNXnet/IP tunneling connection is used in connection with the ETS3 to program KNX devices via the TCP/IP network. The KNXnet/IP object server connection makes an active KNXnet/IP tunneling connection and the visualisation of a KNX installation possible at the same time.
In connection with the visualisation software ComBridge Studio Suite, a range of tasks can be performed and a web-based status display is possible.
As the standard KNX device, the MCG acts as a multi-function module. The MCG’s functions make it possible to confi gure over 100 time scheduling functions, 30 event triggers that contain scenes of up to 200 KNX objects, as well as 30 logic gates for logic functions.
Up to 80 KNX objects, which are required for the complex functions above mentioned, are programmed using the ETS.
Up to 100 weekly schedule points and up to 50 periods, switched on and off through the points,can be defined as time swich functions.
In addition, calendar scheduling points, i.e. switch functions that may be repeated annually, can be programmed. The astronomic function enables scheduling at sunrise and sunset.
Also, the MCG has a real-time clock, which enables the confi gured time schedule functions to be performed at the required times. The MCG can be configured in such a way that it synchronizes with the current time of an Internet time server or the current time of another KNX device.
This means an MCG can either be a time server itself or it can be a time client.
The device time is set on the MCG with 3 buttons. The device display shows the current time. The programmed IP address and the MAC address are also shown on the display.
The MCG is the ideal device for projects where KNX devices are programmed via the IP network and sevral time scheduling programms in connection with scene control are required at the same time.
In connection with a KNXnet/IP visualisation, the MCG provides a cost-effective KNX component as it combines a programming interface, a KNX multifunction module, a real-time clock and a KNXnet/IP visualization interface all in one device.
