KNX
The desire for comfort and versatility while managing heating, control and lighting systems is growing when equipping both office or residential premises. At the same time, efficient energy usage is becoming ever more important. People want a safe, comfortable and sustainable place for life and work.
However, more comfort and security coupled with reduced power consumption can only be achieved with intelligent management and control of all devices in the system. This is a challenge, because for classical systems this implies more wiring from the sensors and actuators to control centres and devices. For experts this also means harder planning and mounting, increased risk of fire and increasing costs. Here is where KNX steps in!
Automation does not need to be difficult. Automation requires a system that solves problems with isolated devices in a way that enables all devices to communicate using one common language. The type of the device that you wish to use is irrelevant.
There are many options for creating a smart home or a smart office. Implement a simple lighting management system or connect different devices to your KNX system. KNX enables automation on a high level. Contact us!
Do you wish to control lighting, blinds, security systems, energy consumption, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning systems, signal and control systems, remote control or video surveillance? All functions operate using a unified system. This is a simple automation of residential or office premises. This is KNX.
KNX – the world standard for residential and office premises control
The KNX organization was formed in 1990 in Brussels, at the time known as EIB organization. The goal of EIB was to promote smart facilities, especially the EIB system.
In 1999 the EIB organization was merged with the BCI company which was promoting the BatiBUS system and the EHSA organization. The result of the merger is the KNX organization as we know it today. The KNX standard was built based on the EIB communication protocol combined with the experience in BatiBUS and EHS system applications usage. A KNX installation can use several different media:

The KNX standard was built based on the EIB communication protocol combined with the experience in BatiBUS and EHS system applications usage. A KNX installation can use several different media:
Twisted pair
Electrical installation
Radio waves
IP network
The most commonly used medium for communication in a KNX system is a twisted pair wiring. KNX standard is approved by the following organizaitons:
International standard
ISO/IEC 14543-3
European standard
CENELEC EN 50090 and CEN EN 13321-1
American standard
ANSI/ASHRAE 135
Chinese standard
