KNX BASIC COURSE

7.2 Checking the domain address (System ID)

Before commissioning a Powerline KNX installation, it must be checked whether the
domain address is unique. The same domain address may not be present in the vicinity of
the installation. Powerline devices can only be programmed after checking the
uniqueness. The corresponding line in the bus topology must be selected to check this.
The domain address is displayed in the side bar under properties. A new domain address
can be created here or changed manually.

7.3 Loading the basic configuration (setting the repeater status)

If a Powerline installation is extended by a repeater at a later date, the device must first be
inserted in the ETS project from the database. ETS will subsequently reset the “Cfg”
entries for all Powerline devices. All Powerline devices must be provided with the new
information that a repeater has now been installed. This means that the application must
be reloaded into all devices.

Note: It must of course also be set in the configuration menu of the local interface that a
repeater is present in the installation.
