    When a tool wants to read or write the memory of a System 2, 7 or B device, how must it authorize itself?
    • A.With an authorization key of 2 bytes
    • B.With an authorization key of 4 bytes
    • C.With an authorization key of 6 bytes
    • D.No authorization is needed for System 2, 7 or B devices
    5. KNX Bus Devices· device-data-and-profiles· Medium
    Correct answer
    B — With an authorization key of 4 bytes
    Learning tip

    Correct: Access requires the tool to first authorize itself with a 4-byte authorization key.

  43. Q43
    From which ETS release is addressing via the KNX serial number supported by default, and what is the alternative before that?
    • A.Supported by default from ETS6.1.1; ETS Apps in the MyKNX shop also provide it
    • B.Supported by default from ETS4; no apps exist for it
    • C.Supported by default from ETS6.1.1; but no other tool can do it
    • D.Never supported by ETS; only special hardware can do it
    5. KNX Bus Devices· device-data-and-profiles· Medium
    Correct answer
    A — Supported by default from ETS6.1.1; ETS Apps in the MyKNX shop also provide it
    Learning tip

    Correct: The feature is supported by default with ETS6.1.1, and MyKNX-shop ETS Apps also allow reading/writing the individual address without the programming button.

  44. Q44
    What can an ETS end user (system integrator) do with interface objects via the ETS 'Device Editor' App?
    • A.Both read and freely rewrite them at will
    • B.Only read them; manipulating them requires the deeper knowledge taught in the KNX tutor course
    • C.Neither read nor write them
    • D.Delete them to reset the device
    5. KNX Bus Devices· device-data-and-profiles· Medium
    Correct answer
    B — Only read them; manipulating them requires the deeper knowledge taught in the KNX tutor course
    Learning tip

    Correct: The system integrator cannot manipulate interface objects but can read them with the Device Editor App; manipulation needs tutor-course knowledge.

  45. Q45
    Why are the maxima of 65536 group objects and 65535 group addresses described as essentially theoretical?
    • A.Because no KNX device can physically store more than 254 objects
    • B.Because the ETS caps every project at 254 group objects
    • C.Because they are normally not reached by current applications
    • D.Because the values apply only to System 1 devices
    5. KNX Bus Devices· device-data-and-profiles· Medium
    Correct answer
    C — Because they are normally not reached by current applications
    Learning tip

    Correct: The text calls them a pure theoretical value, normally not reached by current applications, comparable to the total address capacity of a KNX system.
