General system information

This device is part of the Homematic<IP Smart Home System and communicates via the Homematic<IP. Operation requires connection to a Homematic<IP Wired Access Point.
Further information on the system requirements and installation planning is to be found in the Homematic<IP Wired system manual.
All technical documents and updates are to be found at www.homematic-ip.com.

Function and device overview

The Homematic<IP Wired Access Point is the central interface of the Homematic<IP Wired system and in combination with a power supply unit forms the basis for the supply voltage to the entire bus. The device is simply connected via Ethernet cable to a router and connects the Homematic<IP Cloud service to the wired devices. The Homematic<IP Wired system is configured via the free Homematic<IP App.
The Homematic<IP Wired Access Point is simply installed on a DIN rail in the electrical distribution board. The bus connection cables offer quick and easy installation thanks to pre-assembled cables with plug connectors. The wires are connected and disconnected quickly and crewless thanks to spring-loaded terminals.
The integrated LC display with background lighting can be used to check the correct wiring of the building installation directly at site without having to carry out complex programming. Homematic<IP wireless components can also be flexibly integrated at any time in combination with the Homematic<IP Access Point (HmIP-HAP) or a Homematic<IP Home Control Unit (HmIP-HCU1) for the wireless communication.

System requirements

The Homematic<IP Wired system uses bus data lines for the internal communication between the wired devices. While the bus connecting cables for wiring within the control cabinet are already included in the package content, a fourwire bus line is required for communication of external devices.
A separate power supply unit see Selecting the supply voltage, page  9 is required for the power supply to the Homematic<IP Wired system.
A router with network and Internet connection is required for setup and configuration of the wired devices. The wired system can be flexibly configured, operated and controlled by smartphone (with the latest Android or iOS operating system) via the Homematic<IP Cloud in combination with the Homematic<IP App.

Topology of the bus system

The Homematic<IP Wired devices are linked to one another via bus lines for an interference-safe and robust connection.
The topology of the bus that connects the single Homematic<IP Wired components can be configured as required.  The following figure shows the possible topologies as an example and purely symbolically  (not a connection diagram).
7.1 Possible connection topologieshomematic IP HmIPW-DRAP Wired Access Point - topologies7.2 Operating modes
7.2.1 Ring topology
For the first time, Homematic<IP Wired offers easy installation of fault-tolerant networks for a house or building bus system.
Even in case of interruptions of the lines, there will be no device or function failures. The Homematic<IP Wired Bus supports the setup of a ring topology (“loop”) for this. The bus is always routed from the Homematic<IP Wired Access Point and from one device to the next and finally back to the Homematic<IP Wired Access Point, thus creating a loop. The Wired Access Point checks if the data on the bus is received at both bus terminals. If the line is interrupted at one part of the ring, the bus topology is restructured automatically into two independent bus lines, so that the devices are still working.
7.2.2 Two separate buses
Both bus connections of the Wired Access Point can be operated also as two separate bus lines. Thus, e.g. one bus can be used with the devices within the distribution board. The other bus can then be used for devices of the field installation (e.g. flush-mounted devices) or for devices in additional sub-distribution boards.
The Wired Access Point automatically transfers the data in this operating mode from one bus to another.

Start-up

8.1 Installation instructions
Read this section completely before starting installation.
Warning icon Please observe the hazard warnings during installation see Hazard information, page 3.
Warning icon Please note the insulation stripping length of the conductor being connected, as indicated on the device.
Warning icon For electrical safety reasons, only the supplied Homematic<IP  Wired
Bus cable or an eQ-3 Homematic<IP
Wired Bus cable of another length (available as an accessory) may be used for connecting the Homematic<IP Wired Bus. d.
If changes to or work on the house installation are necessary (e.g. extension, bypass of switch or socket inserts) or to/ on the low-voltage distribution system for mounting or installing the device, the following safety instructions must be observed:
Warning icon The installation may only be carried out by persons with the relevant electrical engineering knowledge and experience!*
Incorrect installation can endanger

  • your own life,
  • and the lives of other users of the electrical system.

Incorrect installation also means that you are running the risk of serious damage to property, e.g. due to fire. You risk personal  liability for personal injury and property damage.
Consult an electrician!
*Specialist knowledge required for installation:
The following specialist knowledge is particularly important during installation:

  • The “5 safety rules” to be used:
    – Disconnect from mains
    – Secure against restart
    – Check for absence of voltage
    – Earth and short circuit
    – Cover or cordon off neighbouring live parts
  • Selection of suitable tools, measuring equipment and, if necessary, personal protective equipment;
  • Evaluation of measuring results;
  • Selection of electrical installation material for safeguarding shut-off conditions;
  • IP protection types;
  • Installation of electrical installation material;
  • Type of supply network (TN system, IT system, TT system) and the resulting connection conditions (classic zero balancing, protective earthing, required additional measures, etc.).

Permitted cable cross sections for connecting to the device are: rigid and flexible cable (without ferrule), 0.25 – 1.5 mm²
8.2 Selecting the supply voltage
Voltage is supplied to the Homematic<IP Wired Access Point via a separate power supply unit. Use a power supply unit intended for application in building automation for the voltage supply (e.g. the
Homematic” IP Wired Power Supply Unit). The basic requirements for this power supply unit are:

  • Output voltage: 24<VDC (±5%, or adjustable), < 50 mVpp, SELV
  • 10 A max., current-limited
  • short circuit-proof
  • at least 3750<V isolation voltage (in- put and output)
  • over-voltage category III
  • EMV interference immunity accord- ing to EN61000-6-2
  • Power failure buffering: at least 80 ms

When selecting the power supply  unit, please note that the supply cable from the power supply unit to the Wired Access Point must not exceed 3 m.
Every bus line can supply max. 3 A continuous current as long as the power supply unit is designed accordingly.
