KNX Building AutomationKNX philosophy?

• An installation bus offering cost-effective and flexible solutions.

• Suited for residential, commercial and industrial buildings

• KNX is the world´s only open Standard for the control in both commercial and residential buildings, defined by IEC14543.

• Controlled by the KNX association in Europe which ensures the technology is independent of all manufacturers.

• KNX devices from different manufacturers are checked for compliance with the standard, registered and certified by the KNX Association. Compliant devices will display the registered KNX Logo.

• Supported by more than 230 members of the KNX Association

from an industry to an international standard

CENELECIn December 2003, the KNX protocol as well as the two media, TP (twisted pair) and PL (power-line) was approved by the European national committees and ratified by the CENELEC Bureau Technique as the EN 50090 European Standard.

CENAs KNX increasingly provides specifications that are not only used for the automation of electrical installation equipment but also for HVAC applications, the KNX Association proposed its specifications to CEN for publication as a European standard for building automation control systems. CEN accepted the proposal and the KNX specifications were published by CEN as EN 13321-1 and EN13321-2.

ANSI/ASHRAEAlso the coupling of KNX to other automation systems is internationally standardized: both the US ANSI/ASHRAE standard 135 as well as the ISO 16484-5 documents the mapping between KNX and BACnet. (Nord America)

from an industry to an international standard

ISO/IECIn view of the large interest in KNX compatible products outside European countries and its proven technology, the KNX association also initiated the necessary steps to have the KNX standard approved on an international level. Countries active in CENELEC proposed the European EN 50090 norm for standardisation by ISO/IEC at the end of 2004. In November 2006 the KNX protocol, including all transmission media (TP, PL, RF and IP) was approved for publication as the ISO/IEC 14543-3-x International Standard. This makes KNX the only worldwide open standard for home and building control.

SACThe great interest in China for compatible KNX products and KNX technology was the main reason for the KNX Association to have the international ISO/IEC 14543 standard translated into Chinese. The Chinese standardisation committee, SAC TC 124 introduced the KNX standard in China and adopted it as standard GB/Z 20965 in July 2007.

KNX supports several communication media

Each communication medium can be used in combination with one or more configuration modes, allowing each installer to choose the right combination for the targeted market segment and application.

‣ Twisted pair (KNX TP):This communication medium, twisted pair, bit rate 9600 bits/s, has been taken over from EIB. The EIB

and KNX TP1 certified TP1 products will operate and communicate with each other on the same bus line.

‣ Radio frequency (KNX RF):KNX devices supporting this communication medium use radio signals to transmit KNX telegrams. Telegrams are transmitted in the 868 MHz (Short Range Devices) frequency band, with a maximum

radiated power of 25 mW and bitrate of 16.384 kBit/sec. (Australia has 433Mhz)

‣ Power Line (KNX PL): PL110Power line bit rate 1200 bits/s, has also been taken over from EIB.

‣ IP/Ethernet (KNX IP):As documented in the KNXnet/IP specifications, KNX telegrams can also be transmitted encapsulated in IP telegrams. In this way, LAN networks as well as Internet can be used to route or tunnel KNX

telegrams. In this way, IP routers are an alternative to USB data interfaces respectively TP line or backbone couplers. In the latter case, the normal TP backbone is replaced by a fast Ethernet based line.

Energy Efficient Solutions What does Energy Efficiency mean for us ?

Use energy only when really required e.g. by means of presence detectors

Use only that amount of energy that is actually needed e.g. by constant light control

Ensure energy is utilised with the highest possible efficiency factor e.g. by using electronic ballasts

Assist consumers to change their habits regarding the efficient use of energy
