KNX area / line coupler (segment coupler)
Efficient connection in the smallest of spaces
The KNX area / line coupler is the ideal solution for a secure and powerful connection of KNX lines. Thanks to its compact design, the device fits into a for rail mounting housing with only 1 TE and still offers a wide range of functions. As an area coupler, the system component enables the connection of a main line with an area line. With or without filter function. In addition, the area / line coupler can also be used as an amplifier to process and repeat telegrams on a line without a filter function.
The new ETS6 support extends the possibilities: Segments can also be connected. The segment coupler differs from the line amplifier in that it provides filter tables and enables a line to be divided into up to four independent line segments. Up to three line amplifiers can be switched in parallel per line, so that up to 255 subscribers can be integrated. As a line coupler, the product connects a line to a main line. This function can be used flexibly with or without a filter table, whereby the coupler is logically assigned to the subordinate line.
The JUNG KNX area / line coupler is fully encrypted with KNX Data Secure and thus warrants the highest security and reliability of data transmission. In addition, the KNX Data Secure Proxy guarantees the secure connection of private lines with public lines, such as the connection of a residential building to an unprotected outdoor area. With the KNX Secure Bridge, two private lines can also be securely connected in a public area. Thanks to optimised processing and response times, the coupler sets new standards in terms of efficiency.
Making the electrical installation future-proof
To encrypt a KNX system, the integrator requires the device certificates of the individual KNX Secure components. These must be integrated into the ETS and are therefore printed as a QR code directly on the JUNG devices. With the ETS Service app, KNX Secure can be activated in a device and the component can be conveniently maintained. The extension makes it possible to import new firmware into the components - for example, to activate KNX Data Secure in a JUNG line coupler.
