For kibox versions v.2023 and earlier, click here.

There are two types of connection for a kiBox:

Kibox 4 and Kibox 2
Kibox installed in a kiconex electrical panel

Below is a list of how to connect a kiBox according to the two previous options.

KiBox Connections

When we have a kiBox we have all the connections on one of the sides of the device.

1.- Modbus port connections

The kiBox 2 has 2 Modbus RTU (RS485) ports: port 1 located on the left and port 2 located on the right.

The kiBox 4 has 4 Modbus RTU (RS485) ports: ports arranged consecutively, with port 1 located on the far left and port 4 located on the far right.

C common bus connection (if the control has one)
+ positive bus connection
- negative bus connection

It is very important to respect the polarity of the connection and to correctly connect the bus shield to avoid electromagnetic noise.

2.- Network-Internet connection

To connect to the Internet, the kiBox must be connected using an RJ45 cable to the connector located at the bottom left. The kiBox connects to the Internet using a dynamic IP (DHCP). This link indicates how to access the kiAdmin to be able to modify its network configuration and set a static IP.

3.- Power connection

To power the kiBox, simply connect the power cable to its input and this also to the electrical network.

4.- Switching on the equipment and checking

After connecting the network adapter to the mains, the kibox should turn on automatically. To check that it is correctly connected and working, a red LED will appear to the right of the kibox-network adapter connection. If the internet connection is working correctly, the LEDs on the RJ45 plug (one green and one orange) will flash intermittently. If these LEDs are static, it means that there is no data transmission with the WWW.

The next steps would be to create a user on the myKiconex platform and register a facility.

Wiring a kiBox in an electrical panel

When a kiBox mounted on an electrical panel is ordered, the necessary connections have been taken to a terminal block to help and simplify the connection by the customer.

ATTENTION: For your safety, work with the circuit breaker down, that is, with the electrical panel without voltage.

1.- Modbus port connections

The RS485 bus connections (modbus) are made directly on the terminals as indicated on the terminal block labels.

2.- Network-internet connection

To connect the kiBox to the internet, it must be connected using an RJ45 cable to the connector located at the bottom left. The kiBox connects to the internet using a dynamic IP (DHCP). This link indicates how to access the kiAdmin to be able to modify its network configuration and set a static IP.

3.- Power connection

To power the kibox, a 3-wire shielded cable is required.

The wires will be connected as indicated on the terminal block, being:

C common bus connection (if the control has one)
+ positive bus connection
- negative bus connection
GND ground connection

4.- Switching on the equipment and checking

Finally, once all the connections to the kiBox have been made correctly, turn on the circuit breaker to supply voltage to the panel. This will start the kibox and all the components of the panel.

To check that it is correctly connected and working, a red LED will appear to the right of the kibox-network adapter connection.

If the internet connection is working properly, the RJ45 jack LEDs (one green and one orange) will flash intermittently.

If these LEDs are static, it means that there is no data transmission with the WWW.

The next steps would be to create a user on the myKiconex platform and register a facility.

Correct wiring between controls

In kiconex we request a daisy-chain connection, that is, in cascade.

For good practice and to avoid problems, we suggest a correct electrical installation between the controls. To do so, you have this graphic guide that briefly explains how the connections should be made:

Common: if there is a connection for a common cable, a cable will come out of the terminal block (or kibox) that will go from the common to the common of the first control. It is connected to the common and from there a splice comes out to the next control. The operation must be repeated as many controls are going to be connected together in the same port. The common will 'die' in the last control of the series.
+ positive: from the terminal block (or kibox, depending on whether there is a kiconex electrical panel) a cable will come out that will go from the positive to the positive of the first control. It is connected to the positive and from there a splice comes out to the next control. The operation must be repeated as many controls are going to be connected together in the same port. The common will 'die' in the last control of the series.
- negative: from the terminal block (or kibox, depending on whether there is a kiconex electrical panel) a cable will come out that will go from the negative to the negative of the first control. It is connected to the negative and from there a splice is made to the next control. The operation must be repeated as many controls are going to be connected together in the same port. The common will 'die' in the last control of the series.
GND ground without electrical panel: the shield (the covering of the shielded cable) will be connected to the ground of the installation. Between the controls connected in series, the shield must be spliced together. It will 'die' in the last control.
GND ground with electrical panel: from the GND terminal block the shield of the shielded cable is connected. The other end must be connected to the shield of the shielded cable of the next control connected in series. The shield will 'die' in the last control.

Important note: the ground must never be connected to the kibox.
