Description
Introduction
The EAE LC200 (SKU: MSP LC200) is a high-performance KNX system device designed to filter and manage bus traffic based on its position within the bus system hierarchy or through integrated filter tables for group-oriented communication. By preventing unnecessary bus traffic across segments, it ensures optimized communication flow throughout smart building automation networks. This device is part of our professional KNX Gateway range.
Built with galvanically isolated KNX bus lines, the LC200 guarantees electrical isolation between system segments. Featuring six bicolor diagnostic LEDs for live monitoring of line traffic, errors, and filter status, along with single-button activation for manual and special commissioning functions, this device operates reliably as either a KNX line coupler or a line repeater.
Key Features
- Traffic filtering according to KNX bus hierarchy or integrated filter tables.
- Galvanically isolated KNX bus lines for safe line separation.
- Six bicolor status LEDs displaying bus traffic, errors, and filter status for each line.
- Support for long telegram communication.
- Configurable ‘Manual Function’ activated via a single push button.
- Special function mode for transmitting all group telegrams with automatic reset up to 8 hours.
- Dual function configuration as a KNX Line Coupler or Line Repeater.
Benefits
- Efficient Bus Management: Filters KNX traffic using built-in or system-hierarchy filter tables to minimize unnecessary load on adjacent bus lines.
- Electrical Protection: Galvanically isolated KNX lines prevent ground loops and fault propagation between connected network segments.
- Flexible Dual-Mode Operation: Can be configured either as a line coupler between lines/areas or as a line repeater to extend line lengths beyond standard limits.
- Comprehensive Visual Feedback: Six bicolor LEDs continuously report traffic flow, communication errors, and filter state on each line.
- Simplified Commissioning: Enables one-button temporary bypass of filter tables (up to 8 hours with auto-reset) for seamless group telegram testing during setup.
Technical Specifications
Applications
- Coupling individual KNX lines or areas in structured commercial and residential KNX networks.
