CGEIB-IP Introduction The Crestron CGEIB-IP is a control interface by which a Crestron control system can be coupled to a KNX installation using either RS232 or Ethernet (TCP/IP). Also, the Crestron CGEIB-IP filters the desired information out of received KNX...

KNX BUS Connector Wago connector that connects the CGEIB-IP with the KNX bus. Power Connector Wago connector used to power the CGEIB- IP. The CGEIB-IP should be powered with 24V AC/DC KNX Programming-LED Color: red Red when CGEIB-IP is in ETS programming mode.
The KNX v3.1 modules only support TCP/IP communication. The RS232 interface is described here for legacy purposes. The CGEIB-IP can be serially controlled over RS-232 via the SUBD 9 on top of the unit. The following pins are required: Com pin outs between Crestron COM port and CGEIB-IP RS232 SUBD 9pol.

NOTE: As described above, the Ethernet configuration only takes place when no RS-232 cable I connected. Therefore, when using Ethernet to control the CGEIB-IP, upon reboot of the unit make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in and no RS-232 cable is present.

Crestron CGEIB-IP KNX Control Interface CGEIB-IP Setup As described above (1. Functional Description), a Crestron CGEIB-IP can be setup to communicate with other KNX units based on Group Addresses. When using Group Addresses the Crestron programmer needs to know how the KNX installation has been programmed exactly.

If you need more information to import ETS files, please type "F1 → Functions → Import and export file" in the KNX-Gate software for further information. The list will be sent from the PC to the CGEIB-IP over a direct serial connection. The RS-232 cable must be a “full” cable – all pins connected! Please be careful with the option “Value request on restart”.

Crestron CGEIB-IP Example: When the Crestron controller changes the value of the KNX group address 0/0/1 from 0 to 1, the CGEIB-IP will return this command resulting in immediate feedback on the button. It is advised to have this “always activated”.
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1). The Crestron KNX IO module should be placed in the user database specified in the SIMPL Windows software.
SIMPL Windows or Crestron Toolbox Firmware Check the Crestron website to find the latest firmware. (New users may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site, including the FTP site.) Follow the following procedure to upload a new firmware.

The different types of Data Type modules For every different data type in the KNX system (also called EIS type) there is a specific Crestron module, this will allow you to send or read out any specific KNX command or signal.
(e.g. level 70%). Therefore the KNX 1Byte module requires an analog value on its input, it also gives out an analog value as feedback: 18 KNX/EIB Control Interface: Crestron CGEIB-IP Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 0009...
Values to set the correct temperature (1800d, 2200d) depend on the KNX device. Data type 4 Byte The 4 byte module is almost identical to the “Crestron CI-KNX 2 Byte v1.6” module. In this case however the value to be controlled and read out is 32 bit (0d to 4294967295d).
“Transmit for received data” checkbox (page 9- 10). Therefore, KNX Data Type module contains a digital input called “Poll_Value” for polling the value for the KNX data type. 20 KNX/EIB Control Interface: Crestron CGEIB-IP Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 0009...
Page 29
Use the “Poll_Value” inputs on the KNX Data Type modules to poll for individual values once the program is started. Polling is only possible if you enable the “Read” flag in the ETS software. KNX/EIB Control Interface: Crestron CGEIB-IP 21 Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 0009...
This web interface can be used to set up the TCP-IP communication with the CGEIB-IP, but does not allow you to set up the device with group addresses. You’d still need to use KNX-Gate to set the group addresses via RS- 232.

KNX Control Interface 1) Please use the Deviceinstaller™software to examine the Ethernet address of the CGEIB-IP. By default it is set up as DHCP, so it should be assigned an address by the DHCP server automatically. In Deviceinstaller™, select „Device“ → „Search“ to autodiscover the CGEIB-IP.
