Dimming actuator - The technical requirements for the use of dimming actuators are very extensive. Why do I need a dimming actuator and which dimming actuator is the right one for me? In this eibabo catalog you will find many dimming actuators from different manufacturers, for example from the top brands ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, EVN, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben various automation systems or conventional applications.How do I plan the lighting correctly?You should not start with the control technology first, because this follows at the very end of the lighting planning. First you should plan the lighting according to necessity, appearance, ambience and your own wishes, followed by the functional requirements and then find the right lights.Save by planning!The more precise, the cheaper the execution of the installations. The more complex the functional requirements are, the more important it is to plan and research a suitable SmartHome system.Only then is the functional implementation carried out, which consists of many other topics.What should I know beforehand?Which lights do I want to install?Do I want to use a conventional installation or a bus system?Should the SmartHome be wired or radio (KNX, DALI, or Zigbee radio protocols such as Hue)?Which lights are switched and/or dimmed together and how?Should it be controlled via app or voice assistant?and much more... ... this results in the following findings, for example:Which cables and lines are required?Which control components (e.g. dimming actuators) have to be considered?To what extent do the operating resources have to be secured?How much space must be provided in the electrical distribution?Do I have to consider special flush-mounted sockets for lights?and much more... What do I have to consider before buying a dimming actuator?Before you buy a KNX dimming actuator, the load types of the equipment and their performance should be checked carefully. There are basically 3 types of KNX dimming actuators. There are dimming actuators with the control type leading edge, trailing edge or universal dimming actuators that recognize the connected load type and automatically activate the correct type of control. TIP:Install a few more lights in the room and use a dimming actuator to create a pleasant lighting ambience. KNX dimming actuators are available for installation in the electrical distribution system, then they have the suffix 'REG' for modular installation devices or as a concealed version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as an installation version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. 230V halogen lamps or incandescent lamps, for example, can be operated with both types of control.What is the difference between leading edge dimming and trailing edge dimming?Very simply explained; 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with a conventional iron-core transformer requires phase control dimming, although these transformers are hardly ever used. 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with an electronic transformer requires trailing edge dimming.The type of dimming of the dimming actuator can be recognized by the abbreviation 'RL' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230 volt halogen lamps and the abbreviation 'RC' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230V high-voltage halogen lamps, 12V low-voltage halogen lamps, dimmable LEDs and dimmable ones energy-saving lamps. It is also possible that both abbreviations 'RC' and 'RL' can be found printed on the dimming actuator. Often you will also find this imprint: 'R, L, C'. It designates which equipment the dimming actuator can work with (dimmer, transformer, LED). If you find all 3 letters or the abbreviations 'RL' and 'RC', then it is usually a universal dimming actuator.Image: KNX LED universal dimming actuator - Jung 390041SRIn this case, however, the limit values of the power ranges for each type of dimming with connected equipment must be observed. Dimming actuators often have minimum loads, which may not be suitable for the use of LEDs. Trailing edge dimming 'RC' (trailing edge control) is the most common application. Basically, the lamp and the dimmer must be marked as 'dimmable' and fit together. TIP:For LEDs, we always recommend LED dimmers or LED controllers, which have also been developed for exactly this application. If in doubt, you can also contact the manufacturer of the dimming actuator directly if you send a data sheet for the equipment (lamps and, if applicable, ballasts).Can I dim a fluorescent lamp? Are energy-saving lamps dimmable?Yes, fluorescent lamps and energy-saving lamps can also be dimmed, provided the lamp is suitable and marked as 'dimmable' or, in the case of fluorescent lamps, there is a dimmable electronic ballast (EVG) for 1-10V or the DALI standard. You can find KNX dimming actuators for electronic ballasts with a 1-10V interface under Smart Home > Light control unit. Another standard for electronic ballasts is DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). The advantage over the 1-10V variant is that addressing is possible and there is no wiring according to groups. Further advantages are direct addressing, status messages, scene memory and a wide range of dimming options with the DALI ECG.How do I find out if my lamp / luminaire is dimmable?Basically, the light source used should first be checked to see whether it is dimmable. You can find this marking in the item description or on the packaging. Lamps that have already been planned and fitted with light sources must be checked for dimmability and the type of control with the control gear used.How do I determine the power for my dimming actuator?It must be clear which light groups are to be switched and dimmed together and how high the total output (W/VA) of the group is in order to select the appropriate KNX dimming actuator with regard to the required maximum output, the minimum load and the number of channels as well as the type of control Find. eibabo always recommends a thorough analysis of the application prior to purchase. Lamps and illuminants must be technically analyzed and checked against the technical data of the dimming actuator. In addition, there are countless different parameter properties of KNX dimming actuators between the manufacturers.Why can't I dim my LED light?All dimming actuators meet the standard requirements for dimming. In addition, many manufacturers offer additional interesting parameters. These parameters may be functionally important for your project. The marking KNX universal dimming actuator does not automatically mean that these dimming actuators are also suitable for dimming the LEDs you use.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Dimming actuator for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorBasic moduleBinary inputBrightness controlBus technologyControl blockControl unitDimmer plugDimming actuatorsDimming extensionDIN railEnergy efficientExpansion moduleFan driveFunction moduleLight controllerLightbulbsLightingLighting technologyLuminaire controlOutput moduleRadio controlRadio receiverRetrofit lampsSocket coverStarter packUniversal dimmerUniversal dimming actuatorfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Dimming actuator:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEatonElsoEltakoESYLUXFinderfrogblue AGGiraHagerIssendorffJungLegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOLingg & JankeMDTMean WellMertenPehaSchneider ElectricSiemensThebenWielandZumtobel
Blind control - There are many ways to control blinds. Finding the right solution for your facility can be difficult. In this guide, we'll explain what options are available and help you make a purchasing decision. It doesn't matter whether you need a button for your existing control or are planning a blind control with high-end devices: In our online shop we offer you the complete range of products and solutions for your individual project ideas. In the eibabo® shop you will find high-quality products from leading manufacturers such as Peha, Jung, SOMFY, Schalk, Gira, Busch-Jaeger, Berker, Elso, Merten, Siemens, Warema Sonnen, Doepke and Rademacher. TIP:Plan the controls for your blind carefully. The choice of controller type is important and affects the day-to-day operation of your facility. In addition, numerous control options can influence other parameters of your building and its automation. These include, for example:the management of heating, ventilation and coolingthe energy consumptionthe fire protectionthe security systemand some more An intelligently planned and installed blind control contributes to comfort, security and energy efficiency. Connected sensors assume important comfort and safety functions. Some examples:Blinds, roller shutters and awnings can be controlled depending on the light using brightness sensors or twilight sensors.Precipitation sensors and wind sensors can automatically retract or raise awnings or shutters when the weather changes.Sensors for open doors support you in the implementation of lock-out protection. Once you know what you value, you can determine the optimal type of control. Manual control by hand is the simplest variant. This is the cheapest, not very convenient and offers no possibility for automation. With a wired blind control, you have convenient control options using buttons or switches (also with sensor evaluation). If you instead rely on an electronic blind control, you will benefit from time-dependent control options. You can also automate the daily operation of your blinds and shutters or simulate a presence. You can conveniently control your blinds with a blind control via radio. Complex installations can be avoided with wireless solutions. In addition, a radio blind control is an enormous gain in comfort: You can remotely control blinds, roller shutters or awnings with radio control buttons and radio hand-held transmitters.Wired control via switches and buttonsThe classic method of controlling blinds is to connect the motor cable directly to a switch. This gives you the option of moving the system up or down and influencing the opening. There are no other options. With this setup you control a single motor with a switch or button. This contact closure control can also be used for basic hardwired switching. This enables, for example, control via an alarm system, a fire protection installation or a building management system. To control multiple motors, you need to expand the installation.Image: Jung AT 04 WW awning controlThe use of relaysUsing a motor relay (disconnect relay) you can control multiple blinds from one switch. Group controls and individual controls are possible. The number of inputs on a standard relay determines the amount of individual or grouped motors that you can connect to the relay. Other functions are also possible with relays. Some relays have additional inputs. A classic safety function is the fire alarm. A signal on the relay's fire alarm input overrides all other controls. This allows blinds to be opened or closed automatically as soon as a fire alarm is triggered. Some relays are equipped with potential-free contacts for connection to a home automation or building management system.radio controlAlternatively, you can connect a radio remote controlled motor to a power source. Radio-controlled motors can be controlled using wireless wall switches or a remote control. If you want to operate each blind individually, you can use a separate controller for each motor.Electronic blind controlWith motor control via digital building management, you are absolutely flexible. Each motor has its own address within the network, regardless of the type of wiring. This makes your system fit for any adjustment or change in the future. For example, imagine dividing your parents' house into two residential units for the children. This may require some windows to be regrouped. You can easily change the switch positions for these particular blinds in software without having to physically rewire the building. You can use blind control to improve the energy efficiency of the house. In conjunction with sensors on the window, you can, for example, have the blinds opened or closed automatically. This means that daylight can be used optimally and electricity can be saved. The heat conditions caused by solar radiation also fluctuate throughout the day. Use automation to ensure a constant temperature. Use the sensors of a weather station with an astro function to automatically control the position of the sun on the blinds according to your geographical orientation or to ensure the slats are protected against ice.Use digital assistanceThere are numerous building automation devices that are compatible with your blinds and other devices in your home. These can be connected to digital assistants such as Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant. This makes it possible to control the blinds using voice commands.Another option is to link the blind control with other automatisms in the building. For example, blinds can be closed depending on the activated alarm system or opened in the event of a fire alarm. The possibilities are manifold. All this increases comfort and improves the quality of life.Which blind control components do you recommend?In the eibabo® technology store you get everything you need to implement your individual blind control.

Combi i/o device - Combi IO devices are essential components of complex building automation. Find out here how to use the high-quality IO devices and what options there are for your installation. In any case, these devices increase the efficiency of your installation. Learn more about these modules and why it is so important for them to work properly.What is an IO device?An IO device - also known as an input-output module - enables communication between a computer system and a peripheral device. This type of processor communication between devices increases a computer's capabilities. The operating system is enabled to connect to the outside world. Communication and interaction takes place through sending and receiving information. Possible input information are, for example, signals from user inputs or binary inputs. Output signals are sent by the system or converted into actions as manipulated variables by actuators. With the use of a multifunctional input module, the work can be carried out more efficiently and accurately. Typical IO devices include:KNX universal interfacesKNX universal controllerKNX switching actuators with integrated binary inputsKNX button interfaces with outputs for LED controlspecial KNX room controller with a variety of special functions  TIP:An IO device can interface with a large number of bus protocols, for example PC Cards, USB, PCI, VMEbus and FireWire. In this eibabo® category you will find, for example, KNX devices with multiple functions from top manufacturers such as ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben.What are the most important functions of an IO device?An IO device is an essential link in the control chain and closes the gap between your computer system and the external devices. It can perform multiple functions including:Communication between the devices in the systemAn IO device assumes several functions within the scope of device communication. This includes the transmission of status messages, the sending of commands and the transmission of information.communication to the processorFull communication with the processor includes recognizing its own IP address, decoding and accepting commands, and reporting status updates.error managementAn IO device detects different types of problems that can occur between the computer system and a peripheral device. These can be mechanical problems, such as a used printer cartridge or errors that occur during data transfer.Image: ABB IO actuator 8-fold IO/S8.6.1.1timingIn order to be able to correctly manage the flow of information between the system and the external device as part of time management, the IO device accesses the internal resources of a computer.data bufferingOne of the most important functions of an IO device is managing the transmission speed between memory, processor and other external devices.How and where can IO devices be mounted?There are many options for mounting IO devices and they depend on your existing installation. Choose from the following options:Panel mounting - the unit is bolted to a chassis or attached to a panelRack mounting - the device fits into a standard housing, such as a 19-inch rack or similarInstallation on DIN rails - the device is attached to one of the common DIN rails or G-railsfree installation - the device has a stable housing and is set up in a freely selectable placePrinted circuit board assembly - the device plugs directly into computers or is attached to the case What advantages do IO devices offer?Depending on the IO device involved, each can play a significant role within an effective operating system. In a programmable logic controller (PLC) and other operating systems, these devices offer the following advantages:a compact design saves space in almost any assembly environmentthe installation can be done remotelyHardware and associated costs can be savedthe wiring and cable setup is simple and clear What are the properties of the inputs and outputs on the IO devices?As a rule, IO devices offer digital channels, analog channels or a combination of both variants. The digital inputs and outputs handle low-level on-off signals. Analog inputs recognize signals such as current, voltage or frequency. Devices with combined channels often process the signals using analog-to-digital converters.The input channels of a device are differentiated as single-ended (SE) or differential (DI). Single-ended inputs consist of two contacts, one of which carries a voltage. The other is connected to ground. Such installation is simpler and cheaper than differential signaling. However, the inductance of the signal line and the difference in ground voltage between the transmitter and receiver will cause noise interference. Differential communication uses two mutual signals on two paired contacts. The difference between the two signals represents the meaningful signal value. Common-mode rejection prevents noise interference. Differential inputs respond to the voltage difference between the two contacts. These are therefore suitable for low-voltage, long-distance and high-resolution applications. The type of input channels your device has can usually be found in the product description. For example, if you have a 16SE-8DI device, it offers 16 single-ended and 8 differential inputs.isolationCertain areas of the electrical system can be isolated from others. This avoids unwanted current flow or signal flow between the areas.For isolation, please distinguish between channel-to-channel isolation, isolated analog input, isolated analog output, isolated digital input, and isolated digital output.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > I/O device for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Blind controlCentralAccessControl deviceControl elementControl panelControl unitDrive elementDriver moduleEngine control unitHeating actuatorHome serverInput moduleInterfaceJunction boxLight actuatorMixing moduleMulti-controllerOutdoor areaRadio systemSecurity adapterShutter actuatorSmartphoneSun protection actuatorSwitching actuatorSwitching outputUniversal interfaceWireless solutionWireless switching outputfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Combi i/o device:ABBBusch JaegerGiraHagerLingg & JankeMetzSiedleSomfyWaremaWindowMaster
Switch actuator - Do switch actuators only differ in the number of channels? If you would like to know what you should consider before buying a switch actuator, we have put together some helpful information for you in the following article. The possibilities are therefore very extensive and actuators from the eibabo® range take on very central control and switching functions. But what exactly does that mean? We clarify.Briefly summarizedSwitch actuators are components of modern building automation.You can plan these in the new building, retrofit them in the old building and use them flexibly if you are renting.It is possible to digitally network and switch almost all devices and components of building technology.Switch actuators are parameterized with the standardized ETS software.Private areas of application are, for example, switching operations on lamps, sockets, household appliances, entertainment devices and kitchen appliances.In the commercial sector, for example, you switch access systems, escalators, revolving doors and so on.   How does a KNX switch actuator work?Every bus system consists of actuators and sensors. KNX actuators are active switching elements or drive elements and are comparable to a conventional relay in which the coil is intelligently controlled by bus signals. This converts analogue or digital input signals into switching commands or drive commands. The KNX switching actuator also has its own intelligence in the form of a controller, the so-called 'KNX bus coupler'. You can recognize this controller by the red/black clamp.What types of installation are available for KNX switching actuators?KNX actuators are often also referred to as actuators or binary outputs. A distinction is made between classic switching actuators, dimming actuators, blind actuators, roller shutter actuators, heating actuators, analogue actuators and many others. There are actuators for installation in the electrical distribution, then you have the suffix 'REG' for modular installation device. Flush mount versions are labeled 'UP' for mounting in a mounting box or junction box. As a built-in version for integration in ducts or similar, 'EB' is specified as the mounting type. However, additional protection must also be taken into account for built-in versions depending on the installation.The advantages of switching actuatorsEverything under control ? anytime and anywhere. Single-family houses or apartment buildings, an office building or other real estate can have complex structures. With switching actuators, you simplify the organization of recurring processes and at the same time ensure that nothing is forgotten, no errors occur and, ideally, time and energy are saved. For example, you can adapt your building's access system to office hours or make the heating output dependent on the prevailing outside temperature. Or use the option of being able to operate doors, gates or windows at the same time. This ensures safety, especially in commercial properties, and saves the facility manager a great deal of time. All switching actuators work efficiently and silently. You are free to choose the type of control. This can be done via buttons, remote controls, voice controls, via the Internet or using a smartphone app.Classic application examples in everyday lifeAllow tradesmen access to the building even when you are not on site. Automatically open all escape routes in case of danger or control your children's TV times. In conjunction with motion sensors or presence detectors, doors can be opened and closed or security lighting activated. As you can see, with a little creativity, the possible uses of a KNX switching actuator are almost endless.Image: KNX switch actuator ? Eibmarkt SA.12.16In order to be able to use this potential optimally, it is necessary to know the extensive technical requirements. Which switching actuator do I need for my project and how do I avoid purchasing an unsuitable switching actuator? At eibabo® you will find actuators from brands such as ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, EIBMARKT, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben. Depending on their specifications, they are used for various automation systems. More detailed information can be obtained directly from the product. All KNX actuators offered by eibabo® are of the highest quality and can be purchased by both private and corporate customers. Delivery is worldwide.What questions should I ask myself before starting the project?Do I install one device or several?Will more devices be added later?What electrical loads and types of loads can be expected, especially when switching on?How should the control be operated - via app, voice and / or button?Are the devices switched individually or in groups?Which logic should the switching actions follow?and much more... ...accordingly, I have to consider the following thingsthe suitability of the planned or already installed cables and linescircuit protectionthe space required in the electrical distribution systemthe type, number and distribution of control elements ? for example buttonsand much more... Which KNX switching actuator do I need for my project?KNX actuators can be single-channel or multi-channel. For this reason, actuators can switch at least one or more different equipment such as lights, sockets or motors. There are also decisive differences between the manufacturers with regard to the software / application and the technical application. These include, for example, the integrated logics (e.g. staircase lighting function, delay functions, logic functions), the load capacity of the switching channels (6A, 10A, 16A) and the load type (resistive load, inductive load or capacitive load).Each switching actuator is optimized for its respective area of application. The tasks of a heating actuator, for example, are linked to different parameters than those of a universal switching actuator. Everyone has their specific application / software. This eibabo® catalog is about the classic switch actuator. For additional information on heating actuators, shutter actuators or dimming actuators, please use the search function in our shop. NOTE:The application (software) of each actuator determines its special properties. There are also differences in terms of functionality and expandability. Some models are designed as switch actuator main modules. These can later be supplemented with switching actuator extensions via jumper plugs and thus flexibly adapted to loads to be switched in the future.recommendationDownload the descriptions and the application for the desired actuators from the manufacturer's website and compare the specifications.Good planning is therefore a prerequisite. Only when you know what you want to switch with the required actuator can you choose a device that best meets your needs.Is the resilience of an actuator important?When selecting the right actuators, you should pay attention to the required loads on the one hand and the desired functional options that an actuator can offer on a manufacturer-specific basis on the other. Under no circumstances should you, for example, use an actuator with a maximum load capacity of 6A resistive load and 3A for capacitive loads for switching fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts, since these devices have very high inrush currents (up to 100 A for 3-5ms) for a short time. This can lead to the contacts sticking together. For such loads, it is advisable to use C-load actuators.Does it make sense to use a very heavy duty actuator for very light loads?Please try to select the performance of your actuator as precisely as possible based on your needs. Very low loads on very heavy-duty C-load contacts can lead to wear because the self-cleaning effect no longer occurs. Actuators with a high load capacity of the channels also often require more robust relays with audible switching actions. This should be taken into account in particular when electrical distribution boards are installed in the vicinity of living spaces. TIP:Always choose a switching actuator with regard to its performance to match the respective installation. This protects the technology and extends the service life. In the smart home area, multi-channel 10-16 ampere actuators for resistive loads are used most frequently.Can I connect different phases to the KNX switching actuator?Yes, you can connect different phases to the switching actuator, provided each channel is available separately on the device. In the case of devices with separate potential-free switching contacts, the different phases can be switched next to one another. Different residual current circuit breakers per channel are also possible. In contrast to this, however, operation with different voltages within an actuator is by no means permissible.How do I define the individual switching parameters on the switching actuator?At this point, many interested parties become pensive and begin to doubt whether they can 'program' a switching actuator themselves. It's actually not that difficult. The Engineering Tool Software (ETS) required for this is not really used for programming, but only the group addresses and parameters are assigned to the device.What does ETS mean for KNX?The engineering tool software is a necessary tool for configuring the functions when commissioning KNX devices. The software is only used for parameterization and can also be understood by laypersons with an interest in the logic of the KNX.Programming knowledge is not required and you do not need to know any programming language. If you are interested in the rather simple logical connections of the KNX bus, you are quite capable of creating a project. Of course, more complex concepts require a certain amount of experience. We always recommend having the basic project created by an experienced system integrator. This gives you the option of later changing important parameters yourself very easily if this becomes necessary due to changes in everyday life.What is the difference between binary input and binary output?Switch actuators are also referred to as binary outputs. This designation is not wrong, because these are components that actually switch the connected electrical equipment like a classic light switch - often centrally in the control cabinet. Binary inputs, on the other hand, do not switch the current, but only pass on the signals from conventional operating devices to the KNX system for further processing in a logic module or other KNX participants.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Switch actuator for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Adapter plugBasic moduleBlind controlCommand devicesDrive controlElectric infrared heatingEnergy measurementGarage doorHand controlLatching switchOutdoor areaRadio controlRadio systemRelay switchResponse delayShutter outputShutter switchSocket coverSplash proofStaircaseSun protectionSwitch socketSwitching actuator moduleSwitching deviceVentilation controlWipe-offWipe-onWireless switching outputfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Switch actuator:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEatonEberleEIBMARKTElsnerElsoEltakoESYLUXFinderfrogblue AGGiraHagerIssendorffJungLegrand SEKOLingg & JankeMDTMean WellMertenPehaRutenbeckSchneider ElectricSiemensThebenVaillantWaremaWielandZumtobel
Room temperature controller - When building a new house or renovating, you have numerous interesting options for organizing the control of the room temperature. We will tell you how you can use various bus systems such as KNX, radio or LCN in addition to the conventional temperature setting. Automation not only increases living comfort, but also contributes to the value of your building. This enables you to make necessary adjustments or changes even when you are not at home. This eibabo® catalog provides room temperature controllers for all common applications.What are KNX room temperature controllers?KNX room temperature controllers are part of a building's heating system. These are used for individual room temperature control of interior rooms and have various measuring ranges. The respective devices can differ significantly in terms of application and the functions provided for operation and comfort. For example, the differences are whether static heating surfaces or underfloor heating are to be controlled or whether air conditioning and ventilation functions are to be provided.Do not confuseThermostats are also known as room temperature controllers. Installed on radiators, however, they measure the temperature at the heating and usually only differentiate between on and off.KNX room temperature controllers, on the other hand, continuously control between 0 and 100 percent and use a heating actuator to communicate with the heating actuators.How is the room temperature controlled using KNX?A KNX room temperature controller determines the control difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature. The calculated control difference is sent as a 1-byte command value telegram (a value between 0 and 100 percent) via the KNX bus to the corresponding channel of a heating actuator. This processes the signal and then controls the actuator.The following small example illustrates the rough functionality. The actual manufacturer specific control algorithm may be different:The room temperature controller determines a current temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (controlled variable). However, the desired room temperature should be 22 degrees Celsius. The 22 degrees Celsius then represents the setpoint for the controlled variable. The resulting difference between the actual value and the setpoint is the control deviation. The control difference is 4 degrees Celsius and is used to determine the control variable that is to be used to influence the room temperature. Assuming the manipulated variable is 25%. This value is transmitted as a 1-byte telegram (0-255 = 0-100%) from the room temperature controller to the heating actuator. In this case 63.75. For example, the actuator takes 2 minutes to fully open. The time required for the respective actuator to open or close can be found in the data sheet for the thermoelectric actuator. This information must have been previously stored in the parameters of the actuator using Engineering Tool Software (ETS). With a command value specification of 25%, the actuator would switch on the actuator for 30 seconds (this corresponds to 25% of 2 minutes) and switch it off for 90 seconds. The actuator then switches on again for 30 seconds and so on. If the room temperature controller calculates and transmits a different command value specification, the switching cycle for the actuator also changes.Image: Gira 210003 KNX continuous controllerWhat is the difference between KNX continuous controllers, KNX object controllers and KNX room temperature controllers?The selection of KNX temperature controllers is very large. eibabo® offers products from all leading manufacturers of control technology for HVAC (heating, air conditioning, ventilation) in smart home automation. These include ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, Elsner Elektronik, Eltako, EIBMARKT, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens, Theben and Thermokon. Many of these manufacturers use different designations, such as KNX continuous controller, KNX object controller or KNX room temperature controller.KNX room temperature controllers continuously record temperature values and forward them to other system components as KNX signals that can be evaluated. This process takes place continuously. A KNX continuous controller is therefore the same as a KNX room temperature controller. The situation is different with a KNX object controller. Object controllers are room temperature controllers without direct adjustment options on the device for the setpoint temperature. Object controllers were developed for object use. In public objects, as a rule, direct adjustment by strangers should be prevented. The values are parameterised directly via the ETS (software). You can change these directly via KNX (KNX buttons, KNX operating panels, KNX visualisations) in the setpoints. KNX object controllers are often cheaper and suitable in private areas for corridors, basements or storage rooms.What do you have to consider when positioning a KNX room temperature controller?As a rule, the installation is carried out using a branch switch box with 4 screw bosses, one switch box deep. Alternatively, use an electronics box if a separate bus coupler is required. With our convenient search function, you can quickly find the right items here in the eibabo® technology store. TIP:There are multi-channel KNX room temperature controllers for installation in your electrical distribution. Here, the temperature is measured via separate KNX sensors, for example from KNX buttons or KNX motion detectors with an integrated temperature sensor. For optimal use of all functions and the best possible recording of the measurement data, please ensure that the installation height is 1.60 m from the top edge of the finished floor. In this way you ensure optimal control and user-friendly handling.How is a room temperature controller connected to the KNX bus?KNX room temperature controllers are equipped differently by the manufacturers. You can either buy the KNX room temperature controller including a bus coupler or you have to order the bus coupler separately. The required interface between the KNX bus and the KNX room temperature controller is called the bus coupler. You can tell whether your controller has a bus connection by the red and black bus terminal. The KNX controllers often offer included KNX binary inputs. These are used, for example, to integrate conventional buttons in the room to switch lights via KNX. These binary inputs usually correspond to the technical data of KNX push button interfaces and can therefore only be extended up to a maximum of 50cm.How important is the appearance of a KNX room temperature controller?There are controllers with or without a dial to adjust the temperature. Other models are operated via the display and menu controls. Everything is possible here. The controls should match your other switch range and reflect your modern, classic, simple or extravagant style of living. TIP:Don't just look at the exterior of a KNX room temperature controller, but also at its inner values. There are often considerable differences in the application developments (software) of the manufacturers. The possibilities that the respective software can offer you may be relevant to your project requirements. Think of:control behaviorInfluencing control processesOperating modes and external switching options or setpoint adjustment optionsstatus feedbacknumber of group addressesBehavior in the event of a bus voltage failureand much more What other properties should I consider before buying a KNX room temperature controller?In addition to the technical, optical and software properties mentioned, other factors can speak for or against a specific model.Do I need anti-theft or dismantling protection?What color or what material do I want for the control panel?Do the local conditions require wireless data transmission?Should it be regulated via a room controller?and some more What are room controllers with integrated KNX room temperature controller?An alternative to the KNX room temperature controllers presented here are the KNX room controllers, provided they have an integrated temperature controller. These are devices that you can use to centrally control lighting, temperature and blinds, for example. Such controllers can be used via individually assignable control panels for switching, dimming, regulating or controlling all required actuators and sensors. You can also get numerous high-quality KNX room controllers here in the shop at top conditions. Use our intelligent search for your research.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Room temperature controller for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Building system technologyBus technologyButton interfaceClock thermostatContinuous controllerControllersEnd stripsEnergy efficientHeating controlHeating technologyHome controlHumidityMoellerfunkMoisture meterMultifunction displayNetworkingObject controllerRadio systemRadio transmitterRemote room sensorRoom controllerRoom sensorRoom temperature controllerRoom thermostatTemperatureTemperature controllerThermostatWireless temperature sensorfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Room temperature controller:ABBAlre-itBerkerBusch JaegerEatonEberleElsnerElsoEltakoGiraHagerJungMDTMertenSiemensTheben
Switches - Switches generally fulfil the purpose of controlling and operating electrical installations. Traditional light switches for operating lighting are found in almost every household. In just a few years, rooms will automatically detect the lighting mood people prefer by means of hidden sensors. Special switches that place particular value on design and/or functionality and are equipped with an innovative dimming function have become increasingly popular. Dimmers, which typically come in the form of rotary dimmers, or touch dimmers, generally enable more individual control and can regulate and reduce energy consumption. In addition to light switches, sockets are among the most well-known and common elements of switch ranges. As either in-wall sockets or mobile socket strips or multiple sockets, they provide electronic devices with power and are relevant to virtually every area of our lives. You can find the most well-known suppliers such as GIRA, Merten, Busch Jäger, Jung and Berker at reasonable prices in our eibabo® shop. In addition to the traditional line of switches, the past two years have seen an increasing popularity of complete multimedia solutions, for versatile use in both private households and business environments. The aim is essentially to combine different connections with one another and, for example, to create user-friendly solutions in the form of multi-purpose table sockets for interior use and energy columns for outdoor use. Switches that can be used even if no power line or bus line is installed are just as innovative. This involves radio receivers, infrared switches and transmitter remote controls. These switches allow you to realise cable-free installations and implement the most creative ideas. Considering the numerous areas of application in which motion detectors and motion sensors are already used, one could only imagine the possibilities that will arise here in the future. eibabo® helps you design the future according to your individual needs, with premium branded products from the Berker, Busch Jäger, GIRA, Hager, Jung, Legrand, Merten, Peha and Siemens.
Lighting insert - You always need a lighting insert when changing just the bulb is not possible. A lighting insert thus also consists of a socket or another installation device enclosing the lighting means, which fits into the respective base component and thereby creates an electrically conductive connection. A classic example of this are glow lamps for switches and buttons. Regardless of whether they work in the classic way or with LED technology, these are usually very small and have extremely sensitive contacts. In order to simplify handling with them, these lamps are already connected to bases or installation inserts, which can then be replaced as a complete unit via plug-and-play with defective components much better. You can get lighting inserts in the eibabo online shop for products from Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Berker, Merten, Jung and Siemens, among others.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Illumination insert for domestic switching devices you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Control lightGlow aggregateGlow aggregatesGlow lampGlow Lamp ElementGlow lamp for dimmerGlow unitIllumination insert for domestic switching devicesIncandescent lampIndicator lampLEDLED lighting insertLight bulbLight Bulb ElementLighting elementLighting insertLighting insert (installation switch programs)Lighting insert for installation switch programsLighting insert for switch materialLuminous markingOrientation lightingPilot lamp insertPlug lampPlug-in glow lampPlug-in light bulbSingle LEDSpot lightingSurface LED unitfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Lighting insert:BerkerBusch JaegerElsoGiraHagerJungLegrand BticinoMertenPehaSiemens
