7.4.3 Free address structure

With the introduction of the fourth generation of ETS, the option was also created to freely
arrange group addresses. The 2- or 3-level structures that were randomly created in the
early years of the KNX/EIB system have certain limitations, as the addressable group
ranges are numerically restricted. If someone has created e.g. a “Central” middle group
and only requires approx. 10 addresses, he “wastes” the remaining 246 in this middle
group (which he could for instance have used for the “Lighting” middle group).

The free address structure can now be organised as desired. The structure is also not
limited in terms of number of levels. A planner can thus use up all available addresses
without gaps.
