The KNX IP BAOS 774.1 secure is an universal interface for the KNX bus. BAOS is an abbreviation for “Bus Access and Object Server”. Communication with KNX is possible both at telegram level (KNXnet/IP tunnelling) and at data point level (KNX application layer). Clients can access communication objects directly with the BAOS protocol via TCP/IP.

The device is configured with the ETS and supports up to 1,000 communication objects. The main application of the KNX IP BAOS is the integration of non – KNX devices and applications into the KNX system. The KNX IP BAOS 774.1 secure enables the full integration of a device into the KNX system, including KNX Data Security and ETS support, without implementing a KNX stack in the device.

The generic ETS database entry provides a list of data points and parameters. It can be used for a quick integration and for development purposes. Customised ETS database entries can be created by the OEM manufacturers.

The buttons are used for diagnostics. The LEDs indicate operating states and communication errors on the bus. Power is supplied via the KNX bus.

The device supports KNX Security and BAOS Security. The BAOS Security protocol is based on the mechanisms of KNX IP Security.
