Summary
EIB / KNX differentiates the data that is exchanged between the devices according to their type. The old name of the types is EIS (EIB Interworking Standard), the new types are called DPT (Data Point Type). In between, there were also ObIS.
Since the individual specifications describe different names and uses, but the types in the devices are functionally treated in the same way, it is only necessary to know the corresponding EIS types for the DPT.
Details
Interpretation of DPT as an EIS type:
- DPT 1 (1 bit) = EIS 1 or EIS 7 (move=DPT 1.8, step=DPT 1.7)
- DPT 2 (1 bit controlled) = EIS 8
- DPT 3 (3 bit controlled) = EIS 2
- DPT 4 (Character) = EIS 13
- DPT 5 (8 bit unsigned value) = EIS 6 (DPT 5.1) or EIS 14.001 (DPT 5.10)
- DPT 6 (8 bit signed value) = EIS 14,000
- DPT 7 (2 byte unsigned value) = EIS 10,000
- DPT 8 (2 byte signed value) = EIS 10,001
- DPT 9 (2 byte float value) = EIS 5
- DPT 10 (Time) = EIS 3
- DPT 11 (Date) = EIS 4
- DPT 12 (4 byte unsigned value) = EIS 11,000
- DPT 13 (4 byte signed value) = EIS 11.001
- DPT 14 (4 byte float value) = EIS 9
- DPT 15 (Entrance access) = EIS 12
- DPT 16 (Character string) = EIS 15
