KNX® Simply Explained
For more than 20 years, KNX® (KNX® is based on the predecessors EIB, EHS and BatiBUS) has proven itself as a global standard for home and building automation in accordance with EN 50090 and ISO/IEC 14543. A great advantage of KNX® is its remote configuration: Instead of a central device, the functions are accommodated in the individual bus subscribers. The sensors, such as switches and presence detectors, send control commands directly to the lights, blinds, heating and ventilation systems. Assignments and functions are easily configured in the “Engineering Tool Software” (ETS) and can be modified or adjusted at any time.
KNX® supports different transmission media, e.g., twisted-pair cable (KNX TP), ETHERNET (KNX IP), radio (KNX RF) or Powerline (KNX PL). With KNX® devices from different manufacturers are compatible and can be flexibly combined in one comprehensive solution. As each device has its own microprocessor, no control station is required.
