NX-KNX GE NetworX KNX interface – Caddx
ELAUSYS NX-KNX is a KNX gateway for the Caddx GE Interlogix NetworX alarm systems. It enables bidirectional communication with the alarm system using the RS232 serial port of the NetworX alarm system.
- KNX Interface for GE NetworX alarm systems (Caddx)
- Up to 96 zones status
- Control up to 4 areas (arm/partial/disarm)
- 9 status per area (alarm, entry, exit, fire,…)
- Recall of KNX scenes for each status
- Galvanic insulation from the KNX bus
DESCRIPTION
The KNX interface module NX-KNX is a KNX gateway for the GE Interlogix NetworX Caddx alarm systems. It enables bidirectional communication with the alarm system using the RS232 serial port of the alarm system.
It allows integrators to take advantage of a fully integrated alarm system including KNX scenarios, automatic lighting using the motion detectors, arming or monitoring the system using a KNX visualization.
This interface is intended to be used with a GE Interlogix NX series alarm system. The system must be equipped with a module for RS232 communication (for instance the NX-584E).
CONNECTION
Elausys NX-KNX module is supplied from an external 12VDC power supply which can be provided by the AUX power supply from the alarm system.
The RS232 bus must be interconnected between the serial port of the alarm system (for instance, the NX-584E board) and the NX-KNX interface using the provided DB9 connector. No additional component or wiring is required.
SOFTWARE
Configuration of up to 96 zones are available and will be listed in the device group objects.
By default, zone status is configured for zone 1 to 96 of the alarm system. A general parameter allows to change for zone 97 to 192. Having then the possibility to use two gateways in the same installation to cover up to 192 zones of the alarm system.
Each ZONE has 1 Group Objects (GO) for the status to KNX.

Up to 4 areas can be configured and listed in the group objects.
By default, areas are mapped to areas 1 to 4 of the alarm system but a parameter allows to change the area numbers to cover the areas 5 to 8 of the alarm system if needed.
Each area can be controlled by using the 3 group objects: Arm, Partial arm or disarm. Several statuses are available and have a dedicated group object.
A scene can be assigned to each status. This scene number will be recalled each time the area status is active (ON).
Each area has 12 Group Objects (GO), 3 for area control and 9 for the area status to KNX.
