The KNX PowerBridge USB combines a compact design with a versatile interface function and is specially designed for flexible use during commissioning, service, and maintenance of KNX systems.

Dual power supply: The device features two input interfaces for supply voltage: a DC interface (9–24 V DC) and a USB Type-C interface (5 V DC), enabling flexible power supply.
Integrated KNX-USB interface: The Type-C interface serves as a KNX-USB interface for communication between PC and KNX system, supports Extended Frames with up to 55 Byte APDU length, and allows configuration, parameterisation, and bus monitoring via ETS from version 5 onwards.
Outputs for KNX bus and auxiliary voltage: The device provides two outputs: one for KNX bus voltage with integrated choke (24–26 V DC) and a separate output for auxiliary voltage without choke (24–26 V DC) to supply different loads.
LED indicators for operational monitoring: Multiple LEDs indicate the status of the DC and USB supply, KNX communication, and short-circuit conditions at the USB Type-C interface, facilitating diagnosis and troubleshooting.
Flexible protocol support: The cEMI protocol is used for communication between the interface and host; thanks to the HID profile, no special USB driver is required, simplifying integration.

The GVS BBPS-02/USB.1 KNX-USB interface integrates a KNX-USB interface, an auxiliary power supply, and a KNX bus power supply in a compact device. It enables direct communication between a PC and the KNX system via a USB Type-C interface, which is used for configuration, parameterisation, commissioning, and bus monitoring with ETS from version 5 onwards. The interface supports Extended Frames and telegrams with an APDU length of up to 55 bytes, allowing the transmission of longer KNX data packets. Thanks to HID profile support, no special USB driver is required; communication is carried out via the flexible cEMI protocol.

Technically, the device has two inputs for the supply voltage: a DC interface with 9 to 24 V DC and a USB Type-C interface with 5 V DC. The outputs are divided into an auxiliary voltage line without integrated choke and a KNX bus line with integrated choke, which provides the KNX bus voltage and communication. The maximum nominal current consumption is up to 300 mA via the DC supply and up to 100 mA via the USB Type-C interface. A short-circuit current protection is implemented for the USB Type-C interface.

The LED indicators on the device provide information about the operating status of the supply voltages and the KNX communication: green indicates normal supply, while red signals errors or short circuits. An ON/OFF switch allows turning the power supply on and off. The physical address of the interface is set locally in the ETS settings, as the device does not have its own application program.

The interface is particularly suitable for mobile use during commissioning, service, testing, or maintenance of KNX systems, as it offers a flexible and compact solution for connecting PC and KNX bus. Direct integration into the KNX system via USB enables easy handling without additional interface components. The device is designed for operation in a temperature range from –5 °C to +45 °C and should be protected from moisture and dirt.

The combination of USB communication interface and integrated bus and auxiliary power supply makes the BBPS-02/USB.1 a practical tool for KNX installers and planners who require a reliable and straightforward connection between PC and KNX bus. The simple operation via LED indicators and switch supports fast diagnosis and commissioning on site.

The USB Type-C interface serves as a universal communication interface and supports USB 2.0 with a maximum cable length of 3 metres. Communication takes place via standardised Type-A to Type-C data cables. This facilitates flexible use at different locations without special hardware requirements. The auxiliary power supply can be operated in parallel to the KNX bus and provides a stable supply for external devices, which is particularly advantageous during service and testing tasks.

The KNX PowerBridge USB does not support KNX Secure functions, which must be taken into account in applications with increased security requirements. The physical address is manually configured in ETS, allowing simple integration into existing KNX installations. Support for Extended Frames and longer telegrams improves compatibility with modern KNX components and more complex applications.

LED indicators for KNX communication show the connection status to the PC and KNX bus in detail, both in idle state and during data transmission. This facilitates fault diagnosis and gives the user continuous feedback on the current operating status of the interface. A blinking green indicates active PC communication, while red and red blinking indicate different states of the KNX connection.

The compact design and low weight enable easy handling and flexible mounting, expanding the possibilities for use at changing workplaces or mobile applications. The combination of USB interface, auxiliary power, and KNX bus supply in one device reduces installation effort and simplifies system integration.
