KNX: The world’s only open STANDARD for Home & Building Control

The power behind KNX

Certification:• The KNX / EIB certification guarantees a high level of

product quality and interoperability.

Training:• The training courses at different levels are given in KNX

certified training centres.

Software:• ETS is the common software-tool for project planning,

engineering, and configuration of allKNX / EIB certified products.




The power of the KNX standard

The KNX standard is the EN 50090• THE European Standard for Home and Building

control systems

• This series of standards are taken over from our industrial standard; KNX

• It contains:- The protocol- The standardised application profiles- The different communication media





Standardised Application Profiles for:•Lighting•Sun blinds and stores•HVAC•Energy management•Security•Household appliances, in cooperation with Ceced•Metering in cooperation with CEN 294

are an integral part of the KNX standard





Its Main Assets:• Interoperability;

Between different products and different applications ofdifferent manufacturers

• Product quality;The Association surveys regularly the production sites of the manufacturers

• Standardised functionality;Profiles of Home & Building applications are integrated in the Standard





Its Communication Media:

• Twisted Pairs (TP)

• Power Lines (PL)

• Radio Frequency (RF)

• All media transporting TCP/IP




KNX: main advantages different media

KNX will economically be installed in:

• New homes and buildingsThis is the today’s Market

• Existing homes and buildingsThe major market potential for KNX is in this segment

• Historical buildingsEven in these types of houses and buildings, new functions can be installed thanks to the existing and wireless media





Its configuration mechanisms:

• System (S)-mode:Project planning, engineering, and configuration of all KNX /

EIB certified products with the common software-tool ETS.

• Easy (E)-mode: Easy installations, standard functionalities and configuration

with simple tools

• Automatic (A)-mode:Just “plug-in” products / appliances, no tools required for

configuration




KNX : technology integrates Home and Building applications in one approved standard

Service Providers:– Service / Maintenance– Security / Surveillance– Remote Meter Reading– Healthcare /Services– ...

Media:– RF– Satellite– Broadband network– Telephone network– Power-line carrier

RG = Residential Gateway: “the electronic door“

KNX: makes horizontal and vertical integration possible
