System Requirements – Product description
Fa'amatalaga o oloa
The By-me/KNX router enables communication between parts of a system comprising By-me devices, grouped together within an “island”, with a system comprising KNX devices . The messages are transmitted in both directions according to criteria which define the correspondence of the communication objects belonging to the specific domains . The router allows up to 450 routing rules . Each rule is specified by the By-me group address, by the KNX address, by the direction of communication (from KNX to By-me; from By-me to KNX; both) and by the type of information exchanged (1 bit, 2 bit, …) .
The device is equipped with a TP terminal for connection to the By-me BUS, an Ethernet connector and a front push button for configuration via ETS . The power supply is provided by the By-me BUS .
Router 01506 conforms to the KNX Secure requirements on the datapoints defined in the routing table . A datapoint on the KNX side can be defined for the heartbeat signal .

1.3 Fa'atonu
Mo le fa'atonuina ma tulaga fa'aletonu, ia manatua mea nei:
- Ina ia faʻagaoioia le galuega faʻapolopolo ma le Secure Commissioning e te manaʻomia le Tusi Faamaonia o le masini
- O le fa'agaoioia o galuega saogalemu e mana'omia ai se numera fa'apitoa ole fa'aliliuga ETS

To launch a secure configuration download, you first need to activate the Secure Commissioning in the ETS project .
Also read chapter “1 .5 Important notes” before operating the device .
1.4 Secure Commissioning
To launch the secure download of the configuration settings and/or individual address, you first need to add the individual Certificate of device 01506 to the ETS project .
To add it, the ETS project must be password-protected .
Secure download is only possible after Secure Commissioning has been activated .
To activate Secure Commissioning you will need the individual Certificate of the device .
Device certificates can only be added to a password-protected ETS project .
If a password has not been set for the project, Secure Commissioning cannot be activated . ETS projects with Secure Commissioning and/or the Security function set to active always require a project password . If no project password proves to be set when the Security function is activated, ETS prompts you to enter one .

The individual Certificate of the device is always included with the KNX Secure product . For the product to be configured by the user, make sure you do not lose the device Certificate (see chapter 2 .6 Keeping the device Certificate) .
1.5 Fa'amatalaga taua
We recommend you attend standardized courses at a certified KNX training centre before installing, programming and commissioning a KNX system . The participant will gain the necessary expertise and knowledge also for troubleshooting, thanks to practical exercises .
Faitau mae'ae'a lenei mataupu a'o le'i fa'aoga muamua ma fa'apipi'i:
1.5.1 Faʻapipiʻiina ma faʻatonuina
- If the device is damaged during storage or transport, repairs must only be carried out by authorised personnel .
- Once connected to the By-me bus system, the device works with its default settings .
- Lapataiga: aua ne'i fa'afeso'ota'i i se eletise 230 V. O le masini e fa'aola e le By-me pasi ma e le mana'omia se fa'aopoopoga o le eletise mai fafo.
- The device must be installed and commissioned solely by a qualified electrician or an authorised person .
- For the design and creation of electrical systems, abide by the specifications, guidelines and applicable local regulations in force .
- Mo le faʻatulagaina, faʻaaoga le ETS (poʻo le ETS Totonu)
1.5.2 Assembly and safety
- For assembly, use appropriate equipment, in compliance with IEC60715 .
- Fa'apipi'i ile 35mm DIN rail (TH35)
- Do not damage the electrical insulation while making the connections .
- Only install in a dry place .
1.5.3 Tausiga
- Guarantee accessibility to the device for operation and visual inspection .
- Do not open the external casing .
- Protect the device against moisture, dirt and damage .
- The device does not require any maintenance .
- If necessary, you can clean it with a dry cloth .
1.6 Keeping the device Certificate
The device Certificate is on the label affixed to the side of the casing . To avoid unauthorised access, the device Certificate should be removed from the device once it has been commissioned . To this end, the label is divided into two parts, one fixed part which remains affixed to the casing (for identification), and the other removable part (to be kept) .

After adding the device Certificate to the dedicated list in ETS, keep the removed part of the label in a safe place . The list of device Certificates must only include certificates of KNX Secure devices used for ETS projects . ETS will automatically use the correct certificates for device programming.
To identify the device clearly after the detachable part has been removed, the serial number is printed on both parts of the label, the one you have removed and the one that remains on the casing .
If you lose the removed part with the device Certificate, it will only be available in the password-protected ETS project .
Caution! If the device Certificate is lost and cannot be retrieved, in other words if the part of the label removed can no longer be found and the project password has also been lost, the device can no longer be used securely (the Security function will no longer be available for activation) . If this is the case the device may only be used in the non-protected mode, like a “normal” device .
1.7 Aotelega o galuega tauave
- The device Certificate guarantees that only authorised persons may access device 01506 .
- When the ETS “Secure Commissioning” function is active, the configuration data are only downloaded in encrypted KNX Data Secure format .
- The device is powered by the By-me bus .
O le KNX Secure protocol
The device is used to activate the “KNX SECURE” data encryption protocol, entering the QR code or the digits in ETS and also creating a password associated to the project .
N.B.: If the QR code printed on the label is too small, take a photo of it with a smartphone and enlarge it .
O le password e fa'atulafonoina i tulaga nei:
– when enabling the Secure part of the devices in the project
– when entering the certificate of a Secure device in the project
If the Secure part of a device is disabled, it acts exactly like a device that does not support this protocol .
If you do not wish to enable the Secure part, when importing the device into the project close the Secure request window as described in the following procedure .
- Add the Secure device to the ETS project .

- Ignore the set password request .

- The device is displayed with the Secure part disabled .

- No password is associated with the project .

- No certificate is associated to the project .

Faʻamatalaga o le faʻagaioiga
In KNX network systems, router 01506 is used to transfer messages from KNX bus to By-me bus and vice-versa . The message exchange rules are totally defined by the installer using the dedicated folder (Group objects, Parameters, DCA) created in ETS for the specific device . It can be used normally without activating the Security function and in ETS projects in which the Security function is active . After connection to KNX IP, router 01506 works with its default settings . A valid individual address must be set .
3.1 Fa'amatalaga Lautele
When it receives data which use group addresses, router 01506 behaves in accordance with the settings present in the DCA . During normal operation, it only forward messages whose group addresses are specified in the routing rules defined in the DCA .
3.2 Adding the device Certificate
Each KNX Secure device uses its own Certificate . The device Certificate must be entered in ETS before activating or using the KNX security functions .
The device Certificate is printed on a label affixed to the side of the casing .
E mafai ona tu'uina ma le lima le Tusi Fa'amaonia o le masini po'o le su'eina o le QR code ma le webcam .
A maeʻa ona tatalaina le poloketi, e mafai ona faʻataʻitaʻia le lisi o tusi faamaonia o masini i le saogalemu o le Poloketi Ovaview .

If the device Certificate has not been added to the list yet, when a protected download is launched, the following window appears .

3.3 Polokalama
3.3.1 Programming the individual address (and application)
To download the individual address in a device, the Programming mode must be active . Press the programming button to activate or deactivate the programming mode. A red lit configuration LED (I) indicates the programming mode is active. When the download from ETS is activated and you press the programming button, the device stores the new individual address in the memory. The security settings are updated by downloading the individual address and application (L) .
The KNX address can be assigned to the device by setting the desired address in the ETS properties window . At the end of download from ETS, the device will restart .

The device is supplied with the individual address 15 .15 .255 (default factory setting) . We advise against using this address for normal operation of a system and recommend assigning a different address when commissioning .
If the configuration LED (I) flashes red, this means the Ethernet cable is not connected correctly or that a connection with an IP network is not available .
O lo'o maua le fa'amaumauga a le ETS ile kamupani website and in the ETS on-line catalogue .
3.3.2 Network backbone configuration with KNX Secure active.
If you want to use KNX Secure we recommend you set the Backbone IP to Secure (by default ETS sets it to “Automatic”) . To set the backbone to secure, display the Topology and edit the “Security” property .

This means that all the IP/KNX devices connected to the system support and are configured with KNX Secure .
I le i ai o IP / KNX masini e le o faʻatulagaina i le KNX Secure, ETS o le a faʻaalia le lapataiga lenei:

N.B. If reset devices are present, the default physical address 15 .15 .255 is not read by the ETS diagnostics because it is transmitted unencrypted when the Backbone is Secure . Once the Backbone secure is activated, the configuration status of the various Secure devices will show as not up to date and so the application programmes will have to be downloaded again.
3.3.3 01548 interface configuration
For the correct operation of the router 01506 configuration procedure, the physical addresses on the secondary line (TP) must be filtered .

Fa'atulagaina le DCA mo fa'alapotopotoga fa'apitoa
To simplify the definition of the association between By-me group and KNX group, there is a tab called DCA available (as in the figure below) .

4.1 Pulea
Fa'aulufaleina o la'au By-me
Toe faafou
Kopi mea tau feso'ota'iga
Fa'aopoopo mea tau feso'ota'iga (ae le o a'u)
4.2 Section A
Fa'aali le faiga By-me Plus fa'atulagaina i se la'au fa'atauta'iga:
- o lo'o i ai nodes "Si'osi'omaga" i le tulaga I;
- o lo'o i ai nodes "Talosaga" i le tulaga II;
- o le "Vaega" nodes o loʻo i ai i le tulaga III;
- the “Group address” nodes are present at level IV .
The “Group” nodes are only displayed in the presence of applications which need several groups (see temperature control operation) . If this is not the case, Level III is not displayed whereas information of Level IV Group addresses is presented .
4.3 Section B
Displays the list of all the By-me Plus/KNX associations which the installer has defined (max 450) .
In the above figure, the area reserved for By-me information (on the left) is clearly distinguished from the area for the KNX data (on the right) . The “Common” column contains the direction of group messages which cross the Router .
O mea tau feso'ota'iga ta'itasi e fa'amalamalamaina e mafai ona tapeina e ala i le ta'iina o le fa'ailoga
, which activates the deletion function .
4.4 Laupapa
This is the section of ETS which contains all the default “Tab Group Object” and “Parameters” . A specific “DCA” tab is dedicate to “01506 Router By-me KNX” for the definition of the routing rules .
4.5 Preliminary procedures on the By-me Plus system
A maeʻa ona faʻapipiʻi le polokalama By-me Plus e faʻaaoga ai le View Pro App, fa'aulufale mai fa'amatalaga ile xml file (see the By-me Plus manual) .
4.6 Configured By-me Plus system
Allows you to import the By-me Plus system into the DCA .
- Fa'agaoioi le galuega i le kiliki i luga o le icon
. - Fa'aaogaina o le file explorer, filifili le xml file containing the By-me Plus system data .
Section A contains the By-me Plus system data .
4.7 Adding a communication object from By-me Plus data
E lua auala e fai ai lenei mea:
- Drag & Drop the “Group” node from Section A to the area reserved for Communication objects;
- Kiliki faalua i le node "Vaega" i le Vaega A
Aʻo leʻi faʻaopoopoina le mea fou Fesoʻotaʻiga i le "By-me Plus KNX SECURE Router" e faia se siaki mo soʻo se tulaga sese:
- faʻaopoopoina o se Fesoʻotaʻiga Object pe a oʻo atu le laulau By-me Plus KNX SECURE Router i le 450 laina;
- duplicate Communication object name .
The installer can always customise the “Direction” and “Name” by double-clicking on the routing table row .

4.8 Non-configured By-me Plus system
A'o le'i fa'aulufale mai le By-me Plus xml file, fa'aopoopo ma le lima mea uma Feso'ota'iga i le itu KNX e fa'aoga ai le fa'ailoga
.
Once you have done this, you can import the By-me Plus system and complete the definition of associations .

In this case the name of the communication object is not automatically prompted by the procedure but is left up to the installer, who can also set the direction of the messages and the type of data transported (1 .xxx will be valid for 1 .001, 1 .002, 1 .003, etc .) .
4.9 KNX Communication objects present in the By-me Plus island
With the “Extra KNX Communication Object” option, you can manage the KNX devices (not By-me Plus) connected inside the By-me Plus island . In this case, the device is not present in the By-me Plus xml file auina atu i fafo mai le View Pro App .

Ina ia faʻamaeʻaina le faʻatulagaga, e tatau ona e faʻamaonia le faatulagaga KNX e tatau ona faʻaaogaina e le By-me Plus KNX SECURE Router; o filifiliga o:
- 2 tulaga
- 3 levels .
Next, the installer can set the KNX group address of the communication object they have just defined .
The group address is inserted in the “By-me Addr” column in the chosen KNX format .
4.10 Assigning By-me data to Communication Objects
A maeʻa ona faʻapipiʻi mea faʻafesoʻotaʻi KNX i le masini By-me Plus KNX SECURE Router, faʻasolosolo faʻapea:
- Fa'atulaga le By-me system ma le faitoto'a o le faiga o masini fale;
- Auina atu le faiga i le xml format;
- Avanoa i le "DCA" o le faitotoa By-me/KNX;
- Fa'aulufale mai le xml file;
- Drag & Drop the By-me Plus node to the row associated with the By-me Plus KNX SECURE Router of the routing table .
In this case the DCA should check the consistency of the “Data Type of the By-me DPTx” selected with what is already set in the destination row (Main DPT) . Only if the respective Main DPTs match will the Drop be permitted (permitting the same format of the Main DPT on the By-me side with respect to the one on the KNX side: e .g . By-me Data Type 1 .001 → KNX Main Data Type 1 .xxx) .
4.11 Copying Communication Objects
The Copy function
allows you to make a copy of a Communication Object for those which only have KNX data .
Once you have selected a row in the Communication Objects table, you can duplicate the related Communication Object, whose window appears with the “Direction” and “Data Type” fields already set . You will need to edit the “Name” (which must be different) .
4.12 Mease
O mea sese nei o lo'o fa'amoemoeina:
- “O le Copy Communication Object e le atoatoa pe a leai se laina i le By-me/KNX Gateway pe leʻi filifilia.
- “Addition” of a Communication Object when the By-me/KNX Gateway table has already reached 450 rows .
- Communication Object selected has all the By-me parameters defined: in this case only the KNX part is duplicated (the name changes everywhere) whereas the By-me part stays empty and has to be associated starting with a node of the By-me tree .
N.B.: In the event that the By-me parameters are defined, the copy function is disabled .
4.13 Copying the By-me/KNX gateway from ETS
After defining the By-me/KNX Gateway, ETS can be used to duplicate the device inside the same KNX system and set its characteristics (see figure below) .

4.14 Completing the ETS configuration
A maeʻa le faʻamatalaga By-me Plus KNX SECURE Router, kiliki le "Group Objects" tab e faʻafesoʻotaʻi le tuatusi vaega ma mea faʻafesoʻotaʻi taʻitasi. I lenei auala, o le faʻamatalaga e faʻatautaia tutusa ma le faʻamatalaga masini KNX.

4.15 Cloning a room/area
This option allows you to clone a room (or area) already configured in another .
I le example, room 101 is copied to room 102 .


You can now rename Room 101 – Copy in Room 102 and attribute the physical address of the Gateway .
