Some History
 KNX RF has also 10th anniversary

It started with devices configured with the easy Push-Button Mode. It was already interoperable
(same applications group objects), but configurable with plugins and dedicated gateways.
 Bidirectional and System requirements arise in the 2013

ETS5 include natively the KNX RF, due to extension of RF specifications and definition of new
device profiles. System devices like USB interfaces and TP/RF media coupler are now fully part
of the KNX handbook
 KNX RF has also be improved and extended with RF Multi and

Data security
Initially RF was done on one RF channel on 868,3Mhz (licence free) but with regulations. RF
multi provide new features to switch to other RF channels (3 differents frequencies) in case of
disturbances and to get some immediate acknowledges. Also provide 2 slow frequencies for
devices on battery.
Data security is defined for all mediums, but was especially pushed for RF.

Christian Gossé
Basic principles of KNX RF
 Runtime communication is identical as on TP and is using Shared

Datapoints with Group Communication based on Multicast
addressing.
Push-button is sending datapoint with value On or OFF on group 1/1/2.All lights having a
datapoint in the group 1/1/2 will have the value update.
 Medium is virtually closed using a Domain Address

ETS will check and manage the Domain address to insure that is is unique.
=> The medium is still shared between installation.
 KNX RF is using Twisted pair Network, Transport and Application

Layer with specific physical and data layer and some network
layer extensions
Same applications can be designed for RF and TP. No use of gateways or translator, only media
coupler to managed adressing : filtering and routing.

Christian Gossé
S-Mode Configuration
 Based on ETS : PC software developed and distributed by KNX association

 Same tool for all manufacturers
 Use a Device description to handle the devices
 For designing Project, make commissioning and test KNX installation

Christian Gossé
S-Mode Configuration for KNX RF device basic’s
Introduce RF as a additional line with new medium type RF

ETS5 is automatically generating a new RF Domain Address

Christian Gossé
Add the device in the project and set Individual Address

ETS5 knows the device model (combination of resource and services) to uses to
download it is doing some checks on.
If available the device can be used as retransmitter

Christian Gossé
Configure Application via parameters

ETS5 shows available datapoints and parameters

Christian Gossé
Configure links via Group Addresses

Christian Gossé
Do commissioning
ETS5 download all the resources (address table, association table, parameter) in the
device.
If using a TP/RF media coupler, the media coupler must be downloaded before or could be
set via parameter in a special mode to disable filtering

Street lighting
KNX is usually used inside buildings, but cities are big houses and just imagine
big rooms, big stairs …...
KNX RF has been elected, as a today reference RF solution and the time
schedule of the project has requested to uses existing technologies.
The foreseen integration of data security has also driven this innovative
project.
Following topics about the project will be detailed :

 Control/command
 Communication model
 KNX RF inside
 Easy mode
 Extensions to KNX
 Controlling
 System Pilots informations
Christian Gossé
Control/command the system
Main requirement : new installation but mainly retrofit with change of bulb by
LED and smart control/command
Existing wiring
There is no possibilities to
split the existing wiring and
control differently except if
we add a new virtual wiring

Christian Gossé
Control/command the system
Existing wiring
New virtual
connections
Thanks to the radio network

and the software for light
management, we are able to
clusters the lights as wanted.

Christian Gossé
Communication Model
ID server
Server layer
Global server
That also handle WEB clients
Concentrator layer. On that layer we can add the API concentrator layer
IP
GSM – 3G
to enter in an other management software
Local boxes layer Lamp layer

Application Overview
Street lighting is based on basic functional blocks

• dimmer function
• sensor function
• time scheduling
• control/command
The system before running must be configured. Configuration consist of

insert a device in the system :
• create logical groups
• assign time schedule
The control application provides functions to check and detect fault. Alerts can be
from different type :
• device fault detection
• communication fault
• software problem

Christian Gossé
Benefits
Thanks to the predefined time schedule we can have a smooth startup of the lighting network.
• As impact this will reduce the current spikes in the evening and also allow to reduce the stress on
the whole installation
• We can also do light shading thanks to our cluster that can be defined by the lifestyle of the city.
• Validation of Energy savings / time scheduling via Local Metering in lights

Christian Gossé
Add a new device
• With SmartPhone, take the photo of the QR code on the device. Using the serial number in the
device and the GPS coordinate of the photo, add the device in the system directly on the map. Or
enter the serial number of the device directly
 Concentrator gives an individual address and uses his Domain Address to link the device in the
system

To command the device

with distant confirmation
To check basic status

Pilot Project San Fransisco
• Specific RF frequency 915Mhz

• 50 Led lamps + individual metering and light sensor for fail safe
behavior.
• Application with Car and Pedestrian radar
• one street and parking with 2 car access. On car detection, switch lights to 75% for
2 minutes
• 18:00 to 20:00 switch light to 75%
• 22:00 to 5:00 switch to 20% and enabled Car Detection. Car detection switch to 75% for 2 minutes

web application to control street lights

Pilot Project Abu Dhabi
• Specific RF frequency 433 Mhz

• 25 Led lamps + 10 HID retrofit.
• Application with Car radar for 0:00 to 4:00
• Synchronized ON delay 2s to avoid peek demand with switching ON
• Light sensor as group (not for each lamp) for sand storms.

- Some information
Technical :
• Bi-protocol KNX and ZigBee
• Based on KNX RF Multi
• Using Push-Button 1.2 procedure
• Basic and Enhanced secured Mode
• KNX Easy Channel standardized for Meter application
Functional :
• Tariff management
• Local consumption visualization
• Smart metering : stop, reduction, flexibility and controlling some home
equipment => importance of visualization : to interact with the end user

Christian Gossé
Conclusion
• The KNX RF is now a reality. It can be used as extension for TP

installations, or in retrofit project. More and more manufacturer will provide
RF devices.
• The RF S-Mode profile also includes some RF specific features (Radio

Signal Strength measurement) that may be used by future ETS.apps
