Network switch - You want to connect several computers or other digital devices in a local network? The devices should be able to exchange data with each other? A network switch takes over this task. Find out here which functions a network switch takes on and what you should pay attention to when buying one.What are network switches?In our everyday life we are surrounded by more and more computers, laptops, mobile tablets and other digital devices. We use them not only at home, but also in offices, in administration and in numerous industrial processes. The more devices are to participate in a network, the more difficult their network integration becomes. After all, transferring information via CD, DVD or USB stick is now considered to be very time-consuming and cumbersome. This problem used to be solved by using so-called hubs, but these have now almost all been replaced by intelligent network switches. Coupling elements within computer networks that connect the network segments to one another are therefore referred to as switches or network switches. The devices represent the main node of a network. This is very useful in many situations, for example:in an industrial network in which sensors monitor automated processes and transmit measurement data to a control centerin a company or office complex with a large number of computers, network printers and other digital devicesin a local home network, which consists of computers, laptops, tablets and smart TVs, for examplein a video surveillance system with computer and many cameras Of course, there are numerous other use cases. These devices are often also referred to as network switches or distributors. When it comes to network switches, we basically differentiate between layer 2 switches and layer 3 switches or even higher switches.What is the difference between Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 switches?The Layer 2 switches are usually simpler models and have basic functions. These Layer 2 devices are usually available without management functions, but can have functions such as port blocking or statistics calculation. TIP:To increase bandwidth, you can combine two or more physical ports into one logical port. This is called bundling or Etherchannel. How does a layer 2 switch work?The switch receives data from devices that access it. A switching table is thus gradually filled with subscriber addresses. On subsequent accesses, the switch reads the address of the sending device. By evaluating the routing table, it is determined to which device the data should be sent. The other devices in the network are not affected by this transaction. If the switch does not find a recipient address in its table, the data is transmitted to all connected devices with the exception of the sender. As soon as the correct recipient replies to the data transmission, this also receives a new entry in the routing table. In the case of future data transfers with the same node address, the switch can carry out the transfer in a targeted manner. Sending is no longer done in bulk, which relieves the network.What else does a layer 3 switch offer?The professional Layer 3 switches or even higher switches usually have management functions such as additional control options and monitoring tasks. These include, among other things:QoS ? Quality of Service is the use of mechanisms or technologies to control traffic and ensure the performance of critical applications with limited network capacity.VLAN ? Virtual Local Area Network combines individual groups of network participants and isolates the data traffic for each group. They subdivide a physical switch into multiple logical (virtual) switches.Port Mirroring - This refers to the forwarding of network traffic from a switch port directly to another port.Limitation of data transmission rates for individual ports The term portNetwork devices connect to a switch through the port. The port is the connection interface for the data cable and can be configured taking into account the network architecture, speed and functionality.Layer 3 switches are used in complex and branched networks.How can I use the management functions of my layer 3 switch?If you want to configure or control your network switch with management functions, this is possible depending on the manufacturer of the device as follows:via a command line (Telnet or SSH)via a web interfacevia special control software Modern network switches are designed in such a way that there are no data collisions when two or more network participants are sending at the same time. The speed and duplex mode can be negotiated independently at each port of a switch.What is the difference between switches and hubs?Not so long ago, hubs were widespread. These devices work according to a simple distribution principle and forward the received network traffic to all connected devices without exception. The addressing described above is not implemented in a hub. As the volume of data increased, this caused major problems with the speed of the networks and data transmission. As new computers were added to the network, the risk of transmission errors increased. The use of network switches eliminated these problems.Are switches and routers the same thing?While a switch is more functional than a hub, a router offers even more functionality. Routers are not only responsible for distributing data traffic to network participants. These also take over the communication between different networks with different architectures. The data and information are forwarded according to the parameters set by the administrator when configuring the router. By dividing forwarding addresses and filtering data packets, you can use a router to reduce the network load. It is possible to organize Internet access by combining Ethernet network and WAN connections. In this case, a router also takes on the role of a firewall and offers a certain level of data security. In this respect, any computer could take on the task of a router. A prerequisite for this would be an installed and specially configured routing software.What are the special features of industrial Ethernet switches?You will find industrial Ethernet switches at eibabo®. The network switches must be prepared for these special, specific requirements in industry and production. These industrial switches are designed for the specific different network connections in the industry:distribution of energyMonitoring and control of security functionsmany other uses What should I consider when buying a network switch?Here in the shop you can get numerous models, which differ in functionality as well as in price. When choosing the right device, you should consider the following key features.transfer rateYou will typically find this information in the product descriptions of the switches. Multiple speeds are often specified. Concentrate on the highest value. This represents the maximum for this device. If data arrives at the switch at a lower rate than this maximum, it automatically adjusts to it. Current models operate at speeds of 10/20/100/200/1000/2000 Mbps (megabits per second). Consider the characteristics of your network and the devices it contains. Not all devices are able to send the highest transmission rates. NoticeAs a rule, other speeds (up to the specified maximum) can be set on each port of the switch. Just use your devices as a guide. number of portsWe currently offer network switches with up to 48 ports. When purchasing, please consider not only the number and performance of the current devices. Consider a future expansion of the network. Experience has shown that network switches with up to 16 ports are sufficient for use at home. In the commercial environment it can make sense to select the maximum available number of ports.installationYou get desk switches. These are compact, perfect for small networks and quick to install. Wall mount models are similar. These have mounting devices for vertical surfaces. Models are also available for installation in a standard 19-inch rack and for the DIN rail.management functionWe have already reported on the differences in the possibility of managing additional functions. Choose a model according to your ideas. Unmanaged switches are usually compact, inexpensive and sufficient for home networks. Managed switches are suitable for branched networks. However, their configuration requires special knowledge and experience.Image: Hager TN530 PoE switchPoE supportPoE (Power over Ethernet) is a convenient function and enables power to be supplied via the network cable. Additional power cables are not necessary. This does not affect the quality of the data transmission. Choose such a switch if you need to power devices directly through the network cable.SFP portsYou need a switch with these ports if you need to connect the device to other switches or parent devices. It is a standardized transceiver module that enables network connections with Gbit/s speeds.NoticeAn SFP is just a hot-swappable, small metal component. You must first install a transceiver module in it, which in turn will allow non-standard connections (for example, via fiber optics).energy saving functionIntelligent switches monitor the connected devices and detect inactive ports. These are temporarily put into sleep mode to save power.VLAN supportChoose a model with VLAN support if you want to group traffic and need a logical distinction between sections of the local network. The segmentation can be done according to your needs.stacking supportA stack is a network solution consisting of several stackable switches. These behave like a single device. The function is required if you need to provide more than 48 ports.Protection against attacksMany types of cyber attacks are aimed at overloading online services, servers or entire networks. Models with appropriate protection recognize overload attacks and switch off in good time so that the network remains stable.

Charging device e-mobility - How do I charge an electrically powered car, motorcycle, bicycle, scooter or skateboard? Which charging station is the right one for my vehicle? Find out here which requirements must be met for the installation of a charging station. We support you in the purchase decision and clarify frequently asked questions. Charging stations for electromobility are an investment in the future. The demand for electric vehicles is constantly increasing. Soon they will account for a massive share of the new vehicle market. Now is the ideal time to invest in charging stations. While the cost of electric vehicles is falling, the range is constantly increasing. This means that more and more people will be able to drive their entire journey in an electric vehicle. The increase in electric vehicles is also associated with an increased need for charging stations. If you would like to charge your vehicles at home or at work in the future, you will find suitable offers for high-quality charging stations in the eibabo® shop with which you can maintain your electric mobility.What is a charging station?A charging station connects electric vehicles to a power source. These are mostly electric cars. In the private sphere, such a device is also called a wall box. This provides the energy required to charge a battery. A distinction is made between AC chargers and DC fast charging stations. You can only charge a battery with direct current. The electricity from the socket is available as alternating current. For this reason, most electric vehicles have their own charger or charging cable with rectifier. This converts the alternating current into direct current. DC quick chargers are mainly found in public spaces. These enable charging with higher power. The direct current is supplied directly to the battery. The vehicle's converter is bypassed. There are simple and inexpensive models, but also extensively equipped variants. Some have smart meters, connectivity to cellular networks, or internet access. TIP:Many charging stations have a residual current circuit breaker. This saves you the cost of an external residual current device. The eibabo® shop not only has charging stations for electric cars, but also for electric bicycles.Why should I invest in a charging station?More and more people own an electric car. If you invest in a charging station, you can use it in your private environment or, for example, offer it to the residents of your building as a landlord. In private use, you make yourself independent of public charging stations. You determine the cost of charging yourself by choosing a cheap energy supplier. There is also the option of connecting your own photovoltaic system. How to use your self-generated solar power to charge your vehicles. There are also many advantages for commercial use. For example, you can encourage your customers to charge their car while they shop. This extends the parking time and can attract new customers.What should I consider when buying the charging station for my electric car?Have the installation carried out by a specialist electrician.Define your equipment requirements before purchasing. Should it be possible to use it via a smartphone app? Do you want to record electricity costs and create statistics? Is access protection desired?A DC residual current detection integrated in the wall box reduces the costs of the house installation.When integrating into a photovoltaic system, please ensure that the interfaces are compatible.Wallboxes are usually not in permanent use. Therefore, the standby consumption should be as low as possible. Can the wallbox be switched off completely?Register the charging station with the network operator.Systems with more than 11 kW of power are subject to approval in Germany, for example.Please ensure that the manufacturer's declaration of conformity is available. This ensures that the device meets the requirements of your country.Good cable management including plug garage makes daily handling easier.A wall box with a socket should have a switchable locking device for the charging cable. This will prevent the charging cable from being stolen. Where should I install the wallbox?A wall box is best installed in a dry, shady place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. The ideal height should be around 1.5 to 2 meters above the ground. Make sure the area around the box is clear of obstacles. Depending on the installation location, the question of the correct cable length arises. It should be noted that power consumption and the associated costs increase with longer cables. Line losses may occur if the cable is too long. The recommended cable length for wall boxes is 10 meters. This is the optimal length to avoid losses and keep power consumption low.DangerThe requirements and standards that must be observed when connecting a charging station for electric cars can be very extensive. You should therefore commission a specialist electrician to do this.If you need a longer cable, you should consult an electrician. He is able to dimension the cable correctly and ensure that no losses occur.Do I need a separate charging station for my e-bike or pedelec?You can charge e-bikes and pedelecs at a classic household socket. If you live in your own house, this is possible in the garage, in the carport or in the basement. We recommend using a charging station if you regularly want to charge more than one bike at the same time. So the bikes are always in a designated place. The distribution of the wheels to several sockets in different rooms is no longer necessary. As a landlord, you can also offer your tenants the charging of their electric bicycles. As a rule, you do not have a publicly accessible socket in the underground car park or in the hallway. A charging station is a suitable alternative before the occupants of your house have to carry the electric bike into the apartment. Depending on the model, individual billing or locking of the charging points is possible.Which wall box is right for me?There are a number of factors to consider when choosing the right charging station. On the one hand, the power of the charging station should be matched to the required charging power of the vehicle. On the other hand, it is important to choose the fuse for the circuit and the dimensioning of the cable accordingly. TIP:The required charging power of a vehicle is usually specified in the operating instructions. For an electric car with a battery capacity of 40 kWh, for example, a charging capacity of 11 kW may be sufficient. Faster charging is possible if the charging station has a higher power. You can usually charge an electric car with a battery capacity of 60 kWh at a charging station with 22 kW. Circuit protection is important to prevent damage to the vehicle or charging station. The recommended fuse for a wall box with 3.7 kW power is 16 A. For a wall box with 11 kW power, the recommended fuse is 32 A and 22 kW power must be fused with 64 A. The dimensioning of the cable depends on the length of the cable and the desired charging power. For example, a 1.5 mm² cable is sufficient for a charging capacity of 3.7 kW. At least 6 mm² is recommended for a charging capacity of 11 kW. The number of charging points depends on the number of vehicles that are to be charged at the same time. If you want to charge several vehicles at the same time, there must be a separate charging point for each vehicle. The power of the charging station is divided among the vehicles. Dimension a new charging station for the future. Lay cables with a cross-section suitable for 22 kW. In this way you avoid further costs if you later buy a vehicle with a quick charging function.How do I calculate the charging time of my electric vehicle?The charging time of an electric vehicle depends on various factors, such as the battery capacity, the charging power and the discharge current. The battery capacity indicates how much electricity the vehicle's battery can store. The charging power is the maximum charging current with which the battery is charged. The discharge current is the maximum current at which the battery can be discharged. To calculate the charging time of an electric vehicle, divide the battery capacity in kilowatt hours (kWh) by the charging power in kilowatts (kW).Image: ABL 1W2221 wall boxThe following example shows how to calculate the charging time of an electric vehicle: A vehicle has a battery capacity of 24 kWh. The charging power is 3 kW. In this case, it takes 8 hours to fully charge the vehicle.What does load management mean for the charging station?A distinction is made between load management within the wall box and load management within the electrical installation. Wallbox load management has the following advantages:Optimized charging performance: Load management optimizes the charging performance of your wall box. For example, you can charge your battery faster and more efficiently.Protection of the battery: Another advantage of load management is that the battery is protected. The optimized charging performance prevents the battery from being overloaded.Maximize battery life: Since load management protects both the charging power and the battery, you can maximize the life of your battery. So you can benefit from your wall box for longer. If several smart charging stations are in use, these can be integrated into a building's load management system via additional modules. This means that several electric cars can be charged at the same time with the same connected load. The available power is automatically distributed to the number of charging vehicles. Companies, car parks and hotels with several charging stations thus avoid expensive power peaks.Do I need restricted access for my Wallbox?In many cases, the Wallbox is located in public or semi-public areas. This means that it is accessible to everyone. This can pose a security risk, especially if the wallbox is not properly secured. A lockable wall box provides an additional layer of security. Unauthorized persons are prevented from accessing it, for example in a communal garage, in a hotel car park or company car park. Another option is to connect the Wallbox to an RFID system. This means that only authorized persons can open the box and use the power plug. RFID systems can be installed either on the wallbox itself or on a separate access control system.

Dimmers - Would you like to use dimmers in the house, apartment or at work? Would you like to know what to look out for when buying a dimmer? Can dimmers really save electricity? Find out here which dimmer is the right one for your application.When we dim our living room lights in the evening, something magical happens. The brightness decreases, the colors become softer and the atmosphere in the room becomes cozier. This change has a tremendous effect on our well-being and mood. Dimming is not only easy on the eyes, it also has a positive effect on our bodies. After a busy day, we can relax and let the stress gradually fall off our shoulders. In addition, we can save electricity by dimming light bulbs and LED lamps. In this way, we contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment.What should you consider before buying a dimmer?There are a few things to consider when buying a dimmer. We have summarized the most important points for you:What kind of dimmer do you need?Should the dimmer be universal or suitable for a specific light source?What power supply is required?How should the dimmer be operated?What load should the dimmer be rated for? (the information can be found on the device)Which additional functions are required? (interfaces)Does the price play a decisive role?and some more Image: Berker 85422100 universal touch dimmer, 2-foldTypes of dimmers and their usesDimmers are thyristor controllers or triac controllers for controlling the brightness of incandescent lamps, lights or transformers for low-voltage halogen lamps. When selecting a suitable dimmer, the type of light source, the power supply and the electrical voltage must be taken into account. There are different dimmers, which are suitable for different applications. The best known are universal dimmers, trailing edge dimmers and leading edge dimmers. All reduce the voltage to dim the light. But there are differences in how they work. TIP:Most lamps are marked with a label that provides information about their dimmability. You will find the symbol of a light bulb or a halogen spotlight on many light sources, followed by the information 'RL' or 'RC'. What do these two abbreviations mean and what are the advantages and disadvantages?Trailing edge dimming (RL):Trailing edge dimming is the most commonly used method of dimming lamps. Here, the current of the illuminant is interrupted at regular intervals, so that the light repeatedly goes out briefly and then comes on again. The interruption in the current flow causes the light to flicker slightly. This flickering is barely perceptible to the human eye.Advantages:Less heat lossNo impairment of the mains voltageEasy to implement Disadvantages:Flickering of the light, which can be annoying for some peopleLimited dimmability, otherwise the light flickers too much Leading edge dimming (RC):With phase angle dimming, the current flow is interrupted at the beginning and end of each switching period. As a result, there is no direct regulation of the current flow and there is no flickering of the light. Leading edge dimming is therefore particularly suitable for sensitive applications where uniform light is important. This is the case, for example, in hospitals or galleries.Advantages:No flickering of the light because the current flow is not interruptedMore even light image than with RL dimming Disadvantages:Higher losses due to heat developmentImpairment of the mains voltage with strong dimming Dimming LEDsA dimmable LED lamp is always marked as 'dimmable'. You can usually find the information on the packaging or in the product description. If you cannot find any indication of dimmability, the LED cannot be dimmed.You can use both RC technology and RL technology to dim LEDs. Please judge for yourself which one is the right one for you. Alternatively, you can use dimmers with pulse width modulation. This is the most commonly used variant for dimming LEDs. With pulse width modulation, the current flow is periodically interrupted for a specific interval. As a result, the longer the OFF interval, the less bright the LED will shine.What options are there for operating dimmers?There are several ways you can adjust the brightness on your dimmer. Most models have a dial. Other models have buttons or a touch field. The brightness is changed here, for example, by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. With a remote touch dimmer, a short touch switches the dimmer on and off, a longer touch impulse causes a change in brightness. There is also the option of controlling with a control voltage. Almost every switch manufacturer has such models in their switch range.Tips for using dimmersDimmers are often used in living rooms to adapt the lighting to the situation at hand. For example, you can set the mood at a dinner party with dimmed lights or turn the lights down completely for a romantic evening for two. Dimmers are also very popular in bedrooms, as they slowly ease the transition to sleep. Dimmers can also be useful in wellness areas such as bathrooms or saunas. For example, when entering the sauna, the light can be dimmed down to promote relaxation. Dimmers can also be used in the aquarium. This allows the lighting to simulate natural daylight. This is for the well-being of the fish. Dimmers at the workplace significantly reduce direct glare and disruptive reflections on the screen. This can help you concentrate better and work without interruption.Dimming in the KNX building managementThe KNX building management is a complex system that enables the automation and control of light, heating and air conditioning in a house or apartment. A central function in the KNX building management is the integration of dimmers, which enable the brightness to be regulated. Dimming actuators are usually used for this in conjunction with pushbutton sensors or multiple operating devices. These replace conventional dimmers. For more information, we recommend our 'Dimming actuators' catalogue.What do the letters 'R - L - C' on a dimmer mean?The letter 'R' on a dimmer means it is suitable for the resistive loads of incandescent lamps, halogen lamps and the like. The 'L', on the other hand, stands for inductive loads from low-voltage lamps with a conventional transformer. And 'C' means capacitive loads from low-voltage lamps with electronic transformers.

Rope light - LED strips are considered flexible and energy-saving lighting alternatives. But what criteria do I use to select an LED strip from a multitude of offers? How long does an LED strip light last? Many questions, to which we will give answers in the following article.Why are LED strip lights so popular?When LED technology became suitable for the masses and was available inexpensively everywhere, completely new and very flexible possibilities for the decoration and lighting of houses, apartments and other areas of life opened up for us consumers. Small dimensions, flexibility, enormous service life, good light output and different color rendering are still the most important positive properties of LED light strips. Of course, saving high energy costs and the lack of alternatives to LEDs also play an important role. Constant competition between manufacturers also leads to falling production costs and end consumer prices. Many of the products are operated with 12 V or 24 V and are therefore not dangerous in use.Where are LED strips used?The areas of application of the LED strips are hardly limited. Thanks to the use of high-power LEDs, you can use the products as the main light. But LED strips are also ideally suited as decorative lighting on and in cupboards, in various niches or to illuminate the work area in the kitchen. In the commercial sector, you can use it to illuminate goods and offers in shop windows and shelves. TipUnder no circumstances should LED strips be severely bent or kinked. This can break circuit paths or damage LEDs, resistors and contacts. You can achieve breathtaking lighting effects with RGB strips or color-changing strips. Typically, the color and brightness of such a band is controlled by a remote control. You can adapt the lighting to your current mood, especially in quiet places. Of course, waterproof versions are also available. You can light up gardens, facades, terraces or use them to simulate the daily routine in the aquarium. Car lovers use colored LED strips to illuminate the underbody of the car, the rims or the license plate. In architecture, planners set great accents with LED strips. Creative solutions include colored facades and window frames, indirectly illuminated walls or illuminated baseboards.In other words: due to the wide range of design options, LED strips have become indispensable and are used in the design of almost every interior.Image: EVN SB542430509902 LED stripWhat is the difference between LED strips?The offer is huge. The Internet is full of special offers, which are made in China with the cheapest components, imported in huge quantities and sold at cheap prices. We also offer hundreds of variants here in the eibabo® shop, but the majority of them are from well-known manufacturers. It is not that easy to find the right product for individual use. So what selection criteria should you consider?Does the product come from a well-known manufacturer?How long is the lifespan?What power supply is required?Do I want monochrome or colored LEDs?Which tape is best?How many LEDs should be installed per meter?Does the product have to be waterproof?What length do I need?Does the tape have to withstand special conditions such as heat or mechanical loads?and much more So pay attention to the information in the product descriptions and put the price in the background. Why? You will find out in the next section.What affects the quality of an LED strip?All tapes look more or less the same and the reason for a price difference is often not apparent even at second glance. However, what matters most to you as a consumer is its lifespan, delivering a constant level of brightness over that period, and its power consumption. The heart of an LED is its crystal. This is created as part of a complex process that requires a lot of technology, knowledge and experience. Few companies rise to the challenge of producing perfect crystals. However, these are the basis for a high-quality end product. The lifetime of such a crystal is determined by its degradation. definitionDegradation is the aging process of the crystal, which causes an LED to become progressively dimmer over its life cycle. Degradation leads to a drop in luminous flux over time. With high-quality goods, the luminous flux drops by around 2% for 10,000 hours of operation. Inferior LEDs lose up to 20% of their luminous flux in the same time. However, this development does not only depend on the crystal, but also on the design of the LED body and its connections. An LED gets very hot during operation and the better the heat is dissipated, the more sophisticated the housing and the longer the service life of the LED. The design of the contact connections is also important. In a circuit there are usually several LED chips in series plus resistors. Surely you have already seen that with poor-quality soldering of the chips, the entire serial circuit on a certain section of the LED tape fails, or individual colors stop working.Already knew?LEDs do not emit white light. White light is created from the mixture of equal parts of all spectral colors. If none of these colors dominates, the light appears white, more precisely not colored.Depending on the type of tape, the white light color is mixed from red, green and blue light. However, this mixed white looks very unnatural. So-called RGBW tapes therefore have an additional LED, which emits high-quality white light. In other words: the production of LEDs with white light is complicated. It is usually formed by passing blue light through a yellow phosphor. Depending on the phosphor, the 'white' LED lights up more yellowish or more bluish. It is therefore important before manufacturing an LED strip to select and calibrate the individual LEDs according to various criteria. This step is time-consuming and is not carried out by all manufacturers. In particular, because the manufacturers of LED strips are not necessarily the producers of the LEDs. The use of different LEDs from different batches or producers leads to an uneven light pattern of the white light. With LED strips, the uniformity of the white glow is therefore a quality feature.power adapterThe power supply should provide enough power for the LED strip. An LED light strip with a length of 5 meters and a power consumption of 20 watts per meter requires a 100 watt power supply. Please plan an additional 10% reserve.An LED emits light in a specific direction. In order to achieve uniformity here too, lenses and other optical elements are used. The higher the quality, the better the color rendering and the lower the loss of luminous flux.How do I know if an LED strip is high quality?Now you know how (at least in part) the price difference comes about. If you want to enjoy your LED strip for a long time, invest a few euros more. The difference isn't huge, but it will save you trouble and early repairs. You can use the following tests to better assess the quality of an LED strip:tip 1Check the 'white' light the tape produces. Blue, yellow or reddish deviations should not occur. Contrasting sunglasses may make it easier to spot differences.tip 2A noticeable decrease in brightness on the last LEDs of a band indicates poor quality of certain components.tip 3If it is not possible to test the LED strip before buying it, a look at the soldering points between the LEDs and the carrier material will help. All solder points should look the same. Make sure that the conductor tracks on the carrier material are as wide and thick as possible. In the case of inferior goods, conductor tracks that are too weak lead to an increased voltage drop and thus to differences in brightness.tip 4Choose products from companies with many years of experience in the field of household lighting, including LED. They value a good reputation, have long-established contacts with suppliers and are unlikely to produce inferior goods. Pay attention to the guarantee.

Tactile sensor - Smart, individual, simple, extravagant, futuristic - touch sensors, also known as KNX buttons, like to attract admiring glances and their modern design alone suggests to every user that this is more than a conventional light switch. Rockers, glowing LEDs, small symbols or even LCD displays give an idea of the numerous functions hidden behind many an installation. In addition, there is often a very noble selection of materials such as high-quality metal, acrylic or glass, which always exudes a touch of extravagance. But why are multifunctional touch sensors needed and how do you use their potential optimally? We give you a brief insight here.The basics in a nutshellTouch sensors are multifunctional control elements for the smart home.The design and function selection is huge, from a single button to a control center with 12 or more buttons, everything is possible.You can use it to control, for example, the light, its dimming, blinds, heating, entertainment center, door opener and all other devices in your home network.The button functions can be assigned individually and can be easily reprogrammed if necessary.Integrated LEDs or other displays often show the respective operating status or provide information about errors. What is a touch sensor or a KNX button?You can operate the end devices integrated in your smart home network with a touch sensor or a KNX button. This can be blinds that you can raise and lower - light that you dim - the heating that you regulate or completely individual, user-defined scenarios. Depending on the model, operation is optically individual. In general, it is operated using a different number of buttons or rocker switches and/or even displays.The different types of KNX buttonsUsing a KNX universal button interface, you can basically turn any conventional button into a KNX button. These interfaces are installed in a deep device box behind the standard button and thus take on the task of the binary input, which converts the classic switching processes into KNX signals.Which doses are suitable?To do this, use a branch switch box with 4 screw domes or a deep switch box or an electronics box. Use our eibabo® search to quickly find the right item.This solution is particularly suitable for the standard application 'basic lighting' per room (see: 'What are standard applications?') or for the modernization of existing installations as well as for inexpensive and functionally manageable system extensions.'Real' KNX tactile sensors are much more complex and range up to control elements with elegant touch displays. Temperature sensors, LED displays and background lighting are often already combined in one device. In contrast to the simple interface variant, there is often the option of providing each key with additional functions, which are then triggered, for example, by a long press, double-click or even triple-click. TIP:We recommend planning well in advance so that you can later fit all the functions you need into your keypad. While some KNX push-button sensors require a separate bus coupler to which they are plugged, the bus coupler is already integrated in others. The eibabo® technology store also has both complete KNX pushbuttons and pushbutton sensor modules. The latter is 'only' about the technology and you can choose a matching design cover yourself. The possibilities are diverse - you can choose exactly what suits your project.The advantages and disadvantages of tactile sensorsThe central control of a large number of actions on different end devices is certainly the greatest advantage. The plus in comfort is combined with the flexible options for changing and expanding a well-planned setup. The disadvantage is certainly the slightly higher acquisition costs of a smart home solution compared to a conventional electrical installation. In the case of units with many keys and each assignment with different control variables (print, double-click), the overview of all the functions and their control can easily be lost.Unusual application examples in everyday lifeWe have already mentioned a few classic use cases. In the course of our more than 25 years of work, we have also been able to implement 'very special' projects. It starts with the smart opening and locking of the cat flap in the basement, continues with the choreographed lighting of exterior facades and doesn't end with the automatic pool cover, the fully automated aquarium or the heated driveway in winter. You want to know more? We answer frequently asked questions.Nobody knows everything and sometimes there are small ambiguities that prevent us from correctly grasping connections or from deciding on one or the other product. You may also find an answer to your question in the following topics.How are the KNX devices programmed?Many interested parties are quickly startled by the term 'programming', but it's not that difficult at all, because it's not actually programmed with the 'ETS', but assignments and parameterizations are carried out.What does ETS mean for KNX?The term ETS (Engineering Tool Software) means that it is programming software for commissioning the KNX devices. The tool is more of a software for parameterization and basically also suitable for laypersons with an interest in the logic of the KNX.No programming knowledge or programming language is required. If you are interested in the rather simple logical connections of the KNX bus, you are in a position to create a project. Of course, more complex projects require a certain amount of experience. We always recommend having the basic project created by an experienced system integrator. This allows you to easily change important parameters yourself later on, since many things change in the life cycle.Which touch sensor or KNX button should I buy?Well, we can't give a general answer to this question, but we can perhaps provide some impetus for decision-making. KNX push button sensors are available in a variety of designs. The manufacturers offer solutions for every taste. However, you should not only be guided by the optics. In addition to the optics, eibabo® also recommends checking the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Significant deficits can open up here in the course of a project if the beautiful button were not able to control the necessary actions correctly. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the respective push button sensor and then select a suitable model accordingly. NOTE:ETS is standardized software for commissioning the KNX devices and can be obtained from www.knx.org. With regard to the design, you should also rely on optics that have a positive effect in the long term and not follow every short-term trend, only to realize a few years later that the brightly colored displays and the LEDs for various status messages on the buttons in the wall were a bit too much of a good thing. It makes sense to ensure that displays can be dimmed or configured in different brightness levels and status LEDs can be configured and switched off. A timeless surface design, for example, has simple elegance, looks classy, is durable and has no playful rockers that could quickly gather dust.How do I recognize whether a touch sensor already has a bus connection?Some touch sensors already have a bus connection. If you're not sure, a look at the back will clarify.Image: KNX push button sensor - Jung 4047TSMA touch sensor is equipped with a bus coupling if it has a black and red (or gray and red) terminal for the bus on its back. This 4-wire terminal with plug-in terminal connection serves as a distributor for up to four KNX lines.How do I keep track of the individual functions of complex touch sensors?We would like to encourage you to think: Imagine you come into a room and have to press the small second rocker from the top left on an 8-way pushbutton sensor every day to switch on the basic lighting. It can quickly happen that you accidentally set the pressure point on the adjacent rocker and unfortunately operate the blinds at 11:00 p.m. Not to mention how a guest or child is supposed to cope with it.So it can indeed be a bit difficult to always steer correctly. But: The advantages of the KNX lie in the intelligence of the system, which is implemented by the system integrator based on their experience and your functional requirements. For this reason, you should arrange functions logically or thematically and, if necessary, group them on easy-to-use buttons. If necessary, it is advisable to divide standard applications and detailed circuits into different buttons at different mounting heights.What are default applications? What is the best way to implement this into the system?The first switch box is usually placed on the 1.05m upper edge of the finished floor. At this point you should mount a conventional double button and connect it twice to the bus via a very inexpensive KNX button interface. Of course, you can also mount 2 or 3 double buttons and integrate a 4-way or 6-way KNX button interface. A deep switch box or electronics box is installed as a flush-mounted box in order to be able to place the small button interface behind the double button.Here you save!Combine a KNX button interface with a conventional double button.With the conventional double button, you have more choice in the design of the switch range and, in the event of defects or design changes, you can obtain a lifetime replacement without having to reprogram. You can assign the most important and most frequently used basic lighting to this button or parameterize the button or the button interface with light scene recall. A beautiful flat switch is also very easy to use for guests and children.What is meant by detailed switching on the KNX button?You should mount detailed circuits of the certainly many functions in a room on the 1.60m upper edge of the finished floor and call them up from a room controller or multiple push-button sensor with an optionally integrated room temperature controller (see also our multiple control unit catalogue). A room temperature controller already requires this mounting height for optimal control. At this user-friendly height, you can then carry out all additional controls for additional lighting, blinds, roller shutters, entertainment, etc.Touch sensors wear out very quickly! Is that correct?Like all other technical components that are used more or less every day, tactile sensors and control points in general are subject to a certain amount of wear and tear. However, this is no different than with conventional buttons or switches. It is possible that individual parts that have been in use for a decade are then worn out.Does it make sense to control the heating using touch sensors?Definitely, as a rule, individual room heating controls are also required for KNX installations. In terms of value for money, the combined buttons with room temperature controllers are the best choice, also in terms of user-friendliness.Which manufacturer offers the most beautiful and best KNX buttons?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we won't take a position on that. In terms of quality, however, all brands perform very well. There is no such thing as the 'best' touch sensor. Each manufacturer has its individual strengths in terms of applications (parameters and functions). eibabo® offers switches from all brand manufacturers (from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten to Siemens).
