What is KNX cable used for?

With its excellent electrical and shielded transmission performance, KNX EIB cables can be used for data transmission and to connect building technology systems, allowing the operation and control of lighting and climate control.

What is a KNX device?

KNX is an open standard (see EN 50090, ISO/IEC 14543) for commercial and domestic building automation. KNX devices can manage lighting, blinds and shutters, HVAC, security systems, energy management, audio video, white goods, displays, remote control, etc.

What is KNX RF?

Radio Frequency KNX is the wireless version of the KNX physical layers. KNX RF can share the application layers with the other media versions of KNX, so it’s completely compatible on the application level, making KNX RF an ideal complement to wired or IP KNX.

Is KNX open source?

With KNX Data Secure devices communication between devices is protected, with KNX IP Secure, communication across IP is encrypted and authenticated. Linux – Open Source and free OS for ETS Inside “Ubuntu, Redhat, Suse, CentOS, etc. One of the most important attributes of Linux is that it is available free of charge.

How is KNX wired?

The KNX bus is routed in parallel to the electrical power supply to all devices and systems on the network. All of the various building technology elements are then connected to one another via the main KNX bus line in accordance with the KNX standard for building automation.

What is KNX tunneling?

Tunneling refers to point-to-point exchange of KNX telegrams over an IP network between a KNXnet/IP server and a KNXnet/IP client for configuration and diagnostics. Tunneling is implemented at the KNX data link layer by transferring link layer frames.

What is EIB automation?

The European Installation Bus (EIB) is an open, comprehensive system which cov- ers all aspects of Building Automation. It is managed by the neutral EIB Association.

Is KNX wired or wireless?

KNX is the globally recognised standard for wired building technology, which means that it offers the best guarantees in terms of future compatibility and flexibility.

Is KNX an open protocol?

KNX is the world’s leading Open Protocol system, with over 7000 products available across 420 suppliers. With KNX based systems there is a guaranteed forwards and backwards compatibility of products that can be used on the existing bus network.

What is the difference between Dali and KNX?

KNX offers the same functionality as DALI systems but without the need to individually address each Light fixture meaning a huge cost saving in absence of specialist ballasts per fitting. Instead KNX focuses on the inputs (Switches, Sensors, Thermostats) and controls the corresponding outputs as banks of fittings.

What is KNXnet IP?

KNXnet/IP is the protocol used to extend the KNX bus across an IP network. To augment the KNX bus with an IP network, a KNX IP interface is connected to the bus. Tunnelling, used by supervisory systems to communicate with the KNX network. Routing, used for relaying telegrams between two networks.
