MEAN WELL KSI-01U series: KNX USB interface - KSI-01U

Description

KSI-01U — KNX USB interface

MEAN WELL KSI-01U provides galvanically isolated, bidirectional access between a computer’s USB port and a KNX TP bus. It supports commissioning, addressing, parameter setting, diagnostics and system visualization without an additional external power supply.

Interface and control functions

Parameter Details
Interfaces and power USB Type B: 5 VDC, below 20 mA from the USB bus. KNX TP: 21–30 VDC, below 5 mA from the KNX bus. Both connections provide their respective supply; no separate auxiliary supply is required.
Programming protocol KNX protocol; flexible cEMI host communication.
Message length Long messages up to 220-byte APDU.
Software connection The catalog describes ETS, EITT including Raw Frame mode, and other software using the FALCON driver. On systems not supported by FALCON, such as Linux, use suitable software implementing the cEMI interface; this is not a guarantee that ETS runs on every operating system.
Cable connection Connect a computer’s USB Type A port to the interface’s USB Type B port, and the KNX TP bus to the red/black terminal with red + and black −. The USB cable is not included in the industrial package.
USB indicator Green ON: USB connection OK; flashing green: telegram traffic; red: USB suspend mode; OFF: no USB connection.
KNX indicator Green ON: KNX connection OK; flashing green: telegram traffic; OFF: no KNX bus connection or no USB connection.

Installation and environmental limits

Parameter Details
Dimensions 36 × 90 × 71 mm (W × H × D); two modular units wide.
DIN-rail mounting 35 mm rail; TS35/7.5 or TS35/15 according to the mechanical drawing.
Operating conditions −5°C to +45°C; 20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage conditions −20°C to +60°C; 5–93% RH, non-condensing.
Protection and pollution IP20 according to IEC 60529; pollution degree 2 according to IEC 60664-1.
Unit mass 62 g per the May 2024 KSI-01U manual Weight entry. The 2019 catalog separately lists 70 g as its one-piece packing reference.
Commissioning data Use the manufacturer’s appropriate ETS application database and instructions for the exact model and application.

Standards and reliability

Parameter Details
Safety standards EAC TP TC 004 approved; compliance to EN 50428 and EN 62479.
KNX standards ISO/IEC 14543-3, EN 50090 and EN 13321-1.
EMC emissions Compliance to EN 50491-5 and EN 61000-3-3; EAC TP TC 020.
EMC immunity Compliance to EN 61000-4-2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and -11; EAC TP TC 020.
MTBF reference 100,000 hours minimum; a reliability reference, not guaranteed service life.
Manufacturer warranty reference The catalog states a 3-year manufacturer warranty, subject to its applicable terms.

Manufacturer installation instructions

Parameter Details
Installation and supply Use qualified personnel, a dry location and a 35 mm DIN rail. Connect the KNX bus and USB as shown; the interface is not powered without USB. Do not connect the device to 230 V or add a mains supply. Keep the housing closed and protect the insulation.
Connections and cable The USB interface is USB 2.0 Type B female, connected to the host’s Type A port. Use a USB cable no longer than 5 m; the industrial package does not include the cable. The screwless KNX terminal accepts 0.6–0.8 mm-diameter single-core wire.
Commissioning The default physical address is 0.2.255. Select KSI-01U as the interface in ETS and assign an address appropriate to the project. Its database entry is available for ETS4 and later and has no device parameters or communication objects of its own.
USB software interface The USB HID profile uses a standard host driver, including Windows and Linux. KNX commissioning or visualization still requires suitable software; cEMI and Raw Frame support do not imply that every commissioning application runs on every operating system.
Connection indicators The USB LED is green when connected, blinks green with telegram traffic, is red in USB suspend mode and is off without USB. The KNX LED is green when connected, blinks with telegram traffic and is off if KNX or USB is disconnected.
KNX Secure visualization For visualization of KNX Secure devices, configure secured Group Associations and the appropriate interface access in the ETS project.
Documented unit weight The May 2024 instruction manual lists a unit weight of 62 g. The older catalog’s 70 g value is labeled PACKING and is kept separate from this explicit weight specification.
