ABB i-bus® KNX Intelligent building systems technology

SMART BUILDING Why is it safest to plan with ABB? No one can foresee the future. One thing, however, is certain: more and more is expected of building systems tech ology. n The well-established ABB i-bus® KNX is today available for the demands of tomorrow. It is based on the world ide w KNX standard and is open for everincreasing demands – for the ut ost m safety in plan

— Simple and uncomplicated planning Meeting requirements easily Smart Buildings for increased productivity. Building Space® from ABB, the complete intelligent building automation for increased efficiency in all rooms. All who work in Smart Buildings benefit from the new environment: intelligence leads to an increase in production. And here ABB offers decades of experience and know-how – a comprehensive offer for control and automation with individual components and entire systems. A genuine plan for the future. Building Space® set-up Today buildings used for commercial and industrial...

Each building is ready for the future, with the intelligent control of light, shading, room climate and safety.

ABB i-bus® KNX uses the internationally established KNX standard. It is not by chance that ABB plays a leading role in the KNX Association. The fully developed top technology can be used universally and integrates itself perfectly into all current architectural and utilisation concepts. Thinking ahead globally is typical for 135,000 ABB employees in more than 100 countries – intelligent networking for intelligent building systems technology.

— KNX with ABB A single-source supplier A partnership for planning safety. The requirements for the feed-in, the distribution and application of energy are as varied as they are unique. Functionally combining everything requires faultless planning. Here, a full-service provider offers a lot more. At ABB, everything is structured sequentially for greater convenience, efficiency, safety and sustainability, and, in addition, for the flexibility to modify something at all times. Filling rooms with energy Wherever people work together globally, there is an increase in the demands for comfort and...

SMART BUILDING Why are KNX and ABB an ideal connection? The KNX standard has asserted itself – with all its new possibilities, and without the tech nology becoming more complicated. On the contrary, at ABB it is even structured more simply. With ABB i-bus® KNX, planning, set-up and operation become more trans parent and efficient. No matter what demands are made on building automation in the future, this can be planned with

— Technology with a future KNX as global standard Automation creates independence. KNX is the consistent development which meets the needs of all users: comprehensive room functions are easy to operate and efficiently automated, the entire variety of options is attained with the uniform bus system. This makes it even easier for planners, electrical installers and system integrators – the standard as the principle for the future. Offering variety – reducing costs Each planner can reach the required targets. Even new standards, ordinances and laws are a good reason for offering something new....

— Perfectly planned The advantages at a glance Reliability The system is stable because one has a clear overview of all values and can respond immediately when necessary. Monitoring and maintenance are noticeably simplified. Energy efficiency The intelligent, networked control reduces the consumption of energy during perfect function – ideal for light, shading, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Flexibility The functions of a building change over the course of decades. The bus system always remains flexible: everything that is necessary can be extended and reprogrammed at all times....

— Intelligent building control KNX compared to conventional solutions As versatile as it is easy. KNX sets the new standard. It is the only way to meet the new demands made on electrical building installation. The intelligent building systems technology takes over the conventional functions – and it perfects them thanks to ABB i-bus® KNX. This creates a performance spectrum for building control. Consistently complete. Two-way switch Intermediate switch Two-way switch The conventional solution The room functions are carried out separately in conventional technology. To create connections...

KNX as the intelligent solution The bus lines are independent from the power lines. This combines all command generators and receivers in great diversity. All conceivable trade-spanning functions are possible. Future applications can be added at any time. Flexibility is the standard. Everything under control Lights, scenes, blinds, heating, timer, and more can be controlled completely intuitively with the central rotary control element and a clearly structured TFT display. The functions can be freely allocated to the rockers. The usch-priOn® range B comes in high-quality design versions –...

SMART BUILDING SMART BUILDING Everything that is possible with KNX. Everything in the building is interconnected: the lighting with the shading, this in turn with the air conditioning, and this again with the opening of the windows. The potential for saving energy and increasing safety and comfort is almost endless. ABB i-bus® KNX functionally links all data in order to intelligently utilise the options.

— Planning and project Greater flexibility at all times Changing technology. ABB i-bus® KNX means total freedom in planning. The KNX standard even allows the products to be selected independent of the manufacturer. The functions from the different trades are linked together. Changes and extensions are possible during the project – without new planning, without new cables. Existing systems can also be adapted after many years. Complex gets simple. The manufacturer-independent software tool ETS (Engineering Tool Software) is used for the practical planning, commissioning and maintenance of...
