1. Description

1.1 Introduction

IntesisBox KNX - Mitsubishi Electric G50 is a communication gateway for the integration of
Mitsubishi Electric City Multi air conditioning systems into KNX TP-1 (EIB).

The aim of this integration is to make accessible the Mitsubishi Electric City Multi AC system
signals and resources from a KNX system, as if it was a part of the own KNX system. For this,
IntesisBox KNX - Mitsubishi Electric G50 acts as a KNX device in the KNX installation allowing
any KNX device to read and write its internal points.

This integration requires the Mitsubishi Electric City Multi AC system be equipped with the
Mitsubishi Electric G-50A, GB-50A, GB-50ADA, EB-50, AG-150A, AE-200A (G50 from now on)
gateway. More specific information about this gateway can be found in section 2.2.

NOTE: Please, remember that Mitsubishi Electric AG-150A requires a
software license, PC-Monitoring license (SW-Mon), that must be purchased
together with the AG-150A gateway.

1.2 Functionality

Every one of the mentioned signals have to be associated to an KNX group address, with this,
all the system is seen as a one more KNX device, with the same configuration and functioning
characteristics.

IntesisBox KNX continuously polls (read) all the G50's configured signals and maintains the
updated status of all of them in its memory ready to be served when requested from KNX.

When a change of status is detected in a Mitsubishi Electric signal, a write telegram is sent to
the KNX bus, of the associated KNX Group.

When it is received a telegram from the KNX bus, of a KNX Group address associated to a
Mitsubishi Electric signal, a message is sent immediately to the corresponding G50 to perform
the corresponding action in the Mitsubishi Electric system.

In the continuous polling of the G50, if a non-response of the G50 is detected, the
corresponding virtual signal inside the gateway will be activated indicating communication
error with the G50. The same way, there is also a virtual signal per every City Multi group to
indicate communication error with the group, this signal will be normally activated if the group
is not configured inside the G50. Note that, although the internal units are not connected
physically in the City Multi system, the G50 responds as if they were.

2. Interfaces

2.1 KNX TP-1 (EIB)

IntesisBox KNX - Mitsubishi Electric G50 supports the KNX TP-1 (EIB) physical layer, as
defined in the KNX standard. It behaves as one more device of the KNX system, with the
same configuration and functional characteristics as other KNX devices.

KNX TP-1 (EIB) bus provides a 30V DC current, which can even directly power certain low­consumption KNX devices. IntesisBox does not drain any significant current from the KNX bus

- it has a separate own power supply. Another important electrical aspect is that the KNX TP­1 (EIB) port of IntesisBox is optically isolated (~2500Vrms AC) from all its other ports
(EIA232, EIA485, Ethernet) and power supply.

At logical level, all KNX devices feature an interface of communication objects, by which their
functionality is abstracted. As a basic example, a KNX interface of an AC indoor unit would

typically consist of an interface of datapoints such as “On/Off”, “Setpoint temperature”,
“Operating mode”, etc.

Associations between communication objects from different KNX devices are done by means
of so-called group addresses.

KNX telegrams within a working KNX installation are always addressed to a certain KNX group
address. Typically, whenever a communication object on a KNX device changes its value, the
new value is updated to the bus, by sending a “write” telegram addressed to its associated
group address. The rest of KNX devices in the installation that have a communication object
associated to this group address will act accordingly on reception of the new value.

Other operations are possible. KNX devices can also decide to read the current value of the

communication objects, by sending a “read” telegram to a certain group address (previously

known to be associated to the targeted comm. object). This operation is performed by many
devices on bus start-up or recovery – in this way, the device gets the latest value of the group
addresses it has associated right from its start-up.

Each datapoint defined in IntesisBox KNX configuration needs to have at least a single KNX
group address associated with it. This group address will be used either for sending updates
to KNX of the datapoint value (that have been generated on the other G50 interface of the
IntesisBox), or receiving updates from KNX of the datapoint value (that will be propagated to
the G50 side in this case)

From the point of view of KNX functionality, each datapoint of IntesisBox can hold following
group address associations:

• A single KNX group address with which update/write telegrams will be sent, whenever

the datapoint changes (as a result of a change coming from the other interface of
IntesisBox, G50 in this case).

• One or more KNX group addresses from which this datapoint of IntesisBox will be

updated/written from the KNX installation (resulting in a change to the other side of
IntesisBox, G50 in this case).

• A single KNX group address from which IntesisBox will read the object value on KNX

bus recovery / IntesisBox start-up.

Behavior of IntesisBox’ datapoints regarding their associated group addresses is defined by
means of flags (R, W, T, U and U2), explained in section 5.1.2.

9 / 28

Additional to the binding aspect commented above, it is also important to notice that each
KNX communication object has a defined EIS type. The EIS type of a communication object
defines the bit length and coding of the data it represents. Communication objects associated
by means of a group address need to match the same EIS type, in order to communicate
consistently.

So, at configuration time it is required that for each datapoint configured on IntesisBox an
EIS type is defined. Datapoints on IntesisBox KNX support the following EIS-types:

• EIS1 - Switching (1bit raw)

• EIS2 - Dimming (4bit raw)

• EIS5 – Value (16bit – floating type)

• EIS6 – Scaling (8bit – scaled 0%-100% in values 0-255)

• EIS7 – Drive Control (1bit raw)

• EIS8 – Priority (2bit raw)

• EIS9 – IEEE 754 float (32bit – floating type)

• EIS10 – 16bit Counter (16bit raw)

• EIS11 – 32bit Counter (32bit raw)

• EIS13 – ASCII char (8bit raw)

• EIS14 – 8bit Counter (8bit raw)

ETS software tools are not used to configure IntesisBox. Though, it’s typical that the choice
of which KNX group addresses to use is restricted or defined by an ETS-based project. If that’s
the case, the KNX installer/integrator needs to provide the set of group addresses prior to
doing the configuration of datapoints in LinkBoxEIB.

Also, a dummy ETS application is provided by Intesis Software (section 6), which can be
imported into ETS. This application is nor downloadable into IntesisBox KNX neither usable
for IntesisBox configuration. Rather, it poses as a means of having a device in the ETS project
representing the IntesisBox KNX and its own datapoints/communication objects, and to which
group addresses are associated.

2.2 Mitsubishi Electric G50

This gateway from Mitsubishi Electric offers the signals of the City Multi AC system through
XML protocol. Every G50 (G-50A, GB-50A, GB-50ADA, EB-50, AG-150A or AE200A) allows
access to the signals of up to 50 City Multi indoor units and 50 groups, no matter the number
of outdoor units installed. In the G50, the group is the control unit; every group can have
from 1 to 16 associated indoor units. This integration supervises and controls groups, not
indoor units, although if only one indoor unit is associated to every group then you can
supervise and control indoor units individually.

This G50 gateway is supplied by Mitsubishi Electric. The difference between the G-50A and
GB-50A/GB-50ADA is that the first incorporates display and keyboard and the second ones
just blind cover. The new AE-200A is also compatible with IntesisBox (with or without
Expansion Controllers). At integration level, all of them allow the same functionality. Contact
your nearest Mitsubishi Electric distributor for more details about G-50A, GB-50A, GB-50ADA,
EB-50, AG.150A and AE200A. In this document we will refer to this gateway models (G-

50A, GB-50A, GB-50ADA, EB-50, AG-150A and AE200A, without Expansion
Controllers) as just G50. An AG-150 with 2 EC would work as 2 G50. An AE200A with
1 EC shall work as 2 G50.

The following list shows the available signals to integrate per every group (of the 50 possible)
of the G50:

4.2 Connect to KNX

Connect + and – terminals of the KNX bus to the IntesisBox KNX connector (Figure 4.1).
The polarity is important. Once connected correctly the KNX Tx led will start blinking. If that
doesn’t happen check that the cable is connected properly.

How to check if there is communication with the KNX bus is explained in the LinkBoxEIB
Manual (section 5).

4.3 Connect to G50

Connect the communication cable coming from the network hub or switch to the ETH port
(Figure 4.1) of IntesisBox. The cable to be used depends on where the IntesisBox is being
connected:

• Connecting directly to Mitsubishi Electric G50 gateway: crossover Ethernet UTP/FTP

CAT5 cable

• Connecting to a hub or switch of the LAN of the building: a straight Ethernet UTP/FTP

CAT5 cable

In case there is no communication with the IntesisBox, check that the Mitsubishi Electric G50
is/are operative and reachable from the network connection used by IntesisBox. Check the
IntesisBox Ethernet interface sending Pings to its IP address using a PC connected to the
same Ethernet network.

4.4 Connect to PC (LinkBoxEIB)

This action allows the user to have access to configuration and monitoring of the device (more
information can be found in the LinkBoxEIB User Manual [section5]. Two methods to connect
to the PC can be used:

• Ethernet: Using the ETH port (Figure 4.1) of IntesisBox for communication over UDP

(default UDP port 23). How to check connectivity is explained in section 4.3.

• Serial cable: To connect the device to the PC the serial cable supplied should be

plugged to the PC console port (Figure 4.1).
The cable is a RS-232 straight cable and its pinout is at explained in Table 4.1.

Two subsets of information are configured using this window, the Mitsubishi Electric G50
parameters of the IntesisBox®, and the parameters of the G50 interface.

Figure 4.2 Configuration: Connection Tab

Mitsubishi interface configuration parameters:

• Devices: List of G50 devices.

• IP: IP address of the G50. When using expansion controllers with an AG150/AE200

the IP to be set is the one of the AG150/AE200, not the EC ones.

• Port: TCP port, normally 80.

• Name: Descriptive name, optional.

• Type: It needs to be selected what the IntesisBox is connected to. If EC are used

which one is going to be used (1,2 or 3) needs to be selected here.

• Dual Setpoint configuration: Selection of Single Setpoint for older models

AG150/GB-50ADA, or new models in “old model compatibility mode”. Or Dual Setpoint
for EB-50GU and newer. Allow the use of separate setpoints for Cool-dry/Heat/Auto.

• G50’s button: Use the button to automatically define (and insert in the list) the

number of G50s to connect to. Take into account that the number of G50s defined
must be in accordance with the gateway model used. There are two models, with the
following order codes:

o ME-AC-KNX-15. Model supporting up to 15 City Multi groups.
o ME-AC-KNX-100. Model supporting up to 100 City Multi groups.

You can identify the model of your gateway by the Order Code printed in the front
label or also by the identification given by the gateway is response to an INFO
command, it is something like this:

IntesisBox_EIB_MITSUBISHIG50-1… -> this is the model with up to one G50, up to
15 City Multi groups.

IntesisBox_EIB_MITSUBISHIG50-2… -> this is the model with up to two G50s, up to
100 City Multi groups.

• Virtual ambient temperature and setpoint: This option has been implemented to

force the G50 group to work based on a Setpoint and an Ambient Temperature
provided from KNX (any KNX device).

When this option is activated, communication objects “2-SetTemp” (Temperature
Setpoint) and “13-InLetTemp” (Ambient Temperature) will become of type Write-only.

In this situation these two objects accept writings from KNX (i.e. to be provided by

any KNX thermostat). Both values will be read from the bus at IntesisBox’s start-up
(“U” Update). In this situation we call these two objects “Virtual Setpoint” and “Virtual
Ambient Temperature”.

The actual setpoint sent to the G50 group is given by the following formula:

“Temp. Setpoint (the one sent to the G50 group)” = ”InLet Temperature (inlet-ambient temperature of the
unit/G50 group)” – (“Virtual Ambient Temperature” - “Virtual Setpoint”)

In this situation, the actual Setpoint Temperature on the G50 group and the actual
Ambient Temperature measured in the air inlet of the G50 group are not visible from
KNX.

When deactivated, the communication object “2-SetTemp” for the Set point
temperature shall be read and writable, and the Ambient temperature value reading
from the system) shall be only readable. (only “R” flag selectable)

• Decimal resolution for setpoint signal: Activates 0,5° resolution for the setpoint,

when not active, a 1°C resolution will apply. (Available from V.41.1.18 onwards).

• KNX Datapoint type for HVAC…: The “1-Mode” object will use the KNX

datapoint/codification selected here.

• EIS-14 - 8bits: 0-Cool, 1-Dry, 2-Fan, 3-Heat, 4-Auto, 5-AutoHeat, 6-AutoCool.

• DPT 20.105 – 8bits: 0-Auto, 1-Heat, 3-Cool, 9-Fan, 14-Dry.

• DPT 1.100 – 1bit: 0-Cool, 1-Heat.

• Timeout polling G50: Polling cadence for G50s, in milliseconds, is the refresh

frequency for the G50's signals.

W

Description

Indicates if this signal is allowed to be written from KNX system.

Values

• “W”: flag activated

• Blank: flag not activated

Comments

If it is not active, no write on the group address neither on the listening
addresses could be done from KNX

KNX Update telegrams (responses to Read) are handled in the same way as
Write telegrams, in all cases.

T

Description

Indicates if this signal will generate a telegram sending to the KNX system
following a change of the signal’s value, that is to say, any change of value
of this signal in G50 side will be transmitted to the KNX system if this flag
is activated.

Values

• “T”: flag activated

• Blank: flag not activated

U

Description

Indicates if this signal will be updated (sending read requests) whenever
IntesisBox® starts up or after a KNX bus reset.

Values

• “U”: flag activated for the main KNX group address. A read of the

main KNX group address will be performed in the KNX system for the
update.

• “U2”: flag activated for the first listening address defined. A read of

the first listening address defined for the point will be performed in
the KNX system for the update.

• Blank: flag not activated

Restrictions

Needs the W flag active and therefore the software activates it automatically

When “U” is selected it disables the R flag.

Comments

DO NOT BE CONFUSED: Philosophy of IntesisBox® point's U flag is
not the same as KNX device's U flag. In KNX devices, U flag means
that the point's value will be updated whenever a write telegram for
the group address is received by the device.

Active

Description

Indicates if the signal is active or not for the integration

5.1.3 Saving the configuration

When the configuration of the project is finished follow the next steps:

1. Click the button Save. Once accepted the pop-up message, that will save the project

in the folder on hard disk (more information in LinkBoxEIB Manual).

2. You will be prompted to generate the configuration file to be sent to the gateway,
a. If YES is selected, the binary file (KNX.LBOX) containing the configuration for

the gateway will be generated and saved also into the project folder.

b. If NO is selected the binary file needs to be created before following the next

steps. To do so open the Configuration window (section 5.1) and restart from
step 1.

3. Once in the configuration window again, click on exit. The configuration is ready to be

sent to the IntesisBox® (check LinkBoxEIB Manual).

The configuration cannot be received from the gateway to LinkBoxEIB, it can only
be sent.

6. IntesisBox® and ETS

6.1 Integration of IntesisBox® in ETS

As explained the IntesisBox® is configured with the LinkBoxEIB but in some projects it might
be needed to integrate the gateway in the ETS project, for example to allow the line couplers
have a correct configuration of their filter tables. To do so a Dummy device can be used in
ETS to simulate the IntesisBox® and associate also to this Dummy device all group addresses
used in IntesisBox®.

The dummy device can be downloaded from:
