Actuator position switches - Different types of position switches are available in the eibabo technology store. They are used, for example, in systems and machines where specific positions or positions of moving parts are to be recorded as part of a manufacturing process. This allows you to be informed automatically about the completion of a work process or to initiate new work steps directly. In the case of position switches with a separate actuator, both components are not connected to one another. However, they initiate a switching operation when the actuator is brought together with or separated from the switch's actuation system. Use high-quality position switches with separate actuators and optimize your manufacturing processes. Your eibabo online shop has the right actuators for your position switches.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Sensors > Actuator for position switch with separate actuator you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Accessories for limit switchesAccessories for position switchesActivityActuatorActuator for position switchActuator for position switch with separate actuatorControl elementDamping magnetDust coverEnd switchLag actuatorLimit switchLimit switchesMagnetic actuatorMagnetic force lockingPersonal protectionPosition switchProcess protectionRetrofit kitRollerSafety position switchSecurity technologySeparate actuatorSlot coverSpring lockingStandard actuatorUniversal actuatorfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Actuator position switches:EatonEuchnerIfm ElectronicPepperl + FuchsPilzRockwellSchmersalSchneider ElectricSickSiemensStahlSteute

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.

Heating actuator - A comfortably warm bath after getting up or a cool bedroom at night - automatically. Who does not want that? Modern building automation makes it possible. The interaction of room temperature controllers, heating actuators and valve drives offers almost unlimited possibilities. The setup can be set up in all rooms according to the needs of everyday life.What are heating actuators?If you want to regulate the temperature in the room, in the apartment or in the entire building automatically, heating actuators play a central role. In principle, these are switching actuators. However, these are not equipped with mechanical relays. Thermoelectric valves (low ohmic loads) work here, which use electronic circuits (Triac) to ensure closed hot water circuits or chilled water (chilled ceiling). As a result, these devices are noiseless and wear-free.How is room temperature controlled via a heating actuator?The control difference determined by a KNX room temperature controller, i.e. the difference between the setpoint temperature and the actual temperature, is converted into a command value telegram. It is sent to the corresponding channel of the heating actuator via the KNX bus. Connect the thermoelectric (conventional) actuator to the duct using a suitable cable (e.g. NYM-J 3x1.5). The heating actuator can switch directly (1 bit) or independently process a received 1-byte command value signal internally. With the latter, the KNX bus is relieved because there is no flood of control telegrams from the room temperature controller to the actuator. Only the calculated control difference is sent to the actuator as a 1-byte command value telegram (0-100%). This converts the information into switching signals (on/off) directly to the assigned heating channel. This is called pulse width modulation (PWM). TIP:Make sure there are enough control channels on the heating actuator, ideally at least one per room. This creates maximum flexibility when controlling. The following small example illustrates the rough functionality, not the actual, manufacturer-specific control algorithm:The current temperature (controlled variable) is 20 degrees Celsius. The desired room temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and represents the set value for the controlled variable (command variable). The difference between the desired room temperature (set value) and the current temperature (actual value) is the control difference. The control difference is 5 degrees Celsius and is used to determine the manipulated variable that influences the room temperature. Assuming the manipulated variable is 20%. This value is sent to the heating actuator in the form of a 1-byte telegram (0-255 = 0-100%). The value 51 is therefore transmitted to the actuator. The time for opening/closing the actuator is stored in the parameters of the actuator using ETS. You can find this time in the properties of the respective 230V AC or 24V DC thermoelectric actuator. For example, the actuator takes 2 minutes to fully open. With a command value specification of 20%, the actuator would switch on the valve drive for 24 seconds (20% of 2 min.) and switch it off for 96 seconds. This process is repeated until the room temperature controller calculates and sends another command value specification. Depending on the manufacturer of the actuator, you can integrate several actuators per channel.How do I find the right heating actuator?The selection of a suitable heating actuator is linked to certain requirements. Answering the following questions will help you make a decision:How many heating circuits does my system have?How many actuators do I have per heating circuit?Do I want to install the heating actuator centrally or directly in the heating circuit distributor?Do I want to protect the power supply of the device via a connection for auxiliary voltage?With what voltage do the actuators work?Which functions should the heating actuator have?Do I prefer a certain brand?and many more The range of functions of a heating actuator in particular can differ depending on the model. Things to keep in mind include the following:Is it controlled with 1bit (switching/PWM) and/or 8bit (continuous) control values?Is direct control with a temperature value possible via the KNX bus?Does the device have an integrated temperature controller?Are the setpoints saved in the event of a bus voltage failure?Is there an emergency operation if the cyclic command values fail?Are different operating modes available (comfort, night, frost protection, summer mode or winter mode)?Is there a short-circuit detection and a voltage failure detection?Does the device have a pump shut-off? High comfortDepending on the model, it is possible to set a minimum comfort temperature for the underfloor heating. An additional sensor measures the temperature of the floor and keeps it at your comfort level. This is very pleasant in barefoot zones such as a bath.Depending on what value you place on the individual properties, the range of products can be limited to just a few models.Can I connect a heating actuator directly to the actuators in my heating circuits?In the case of a decentralized installation, for example in the heating circuit distributor, models with L and N connections can be used for direct connection of the actuators.Are KNX actuators really bad?Thermoelectric actuators are not wear-free and should be replaced every year. That is why expensive KNX actuators, which combine the KNX actuator and actuator, have not caught on and are disappearing from the market.Image: Jung Triac 2336-REG-HZR-HE 6-fold KNX heating actuatorHow are thermoelectric actuators installed?Thermoelectric actuators (valve drives) are snapped or screwed directly onto the upper part of the valve used in the house. This connection with the valve spindle is usually made directly in the heating circuit distributor. You can use adapters made of PVC or metal to compensate for the manufacturer-specific distance differences between the drive and the upper part of the valve or the thread and the mount. In this way you ensure correct implementation of the manipulated variable.How do I prevent rapid wear and tear on my valve drives?The ETS parameter 'Flush' minimizes wear and tear on valves that are rarely used, for example in summer or in bedrooms. This function prevents rapid calcification of the heating valves. Good to knowWith actuators, a distinction is made between NC (normally closed) and NO (normally open). NC drives open when power is applied. In NO actuators, the current closes the valve. Please bear this in mind when planning your heating system, as it is ultimately your personal decision. In the event of a power failure or defect, NC drives close and you quickly notice a malfunction. These drives only consume electricity when heating. On the other hand, drives that open without current are more efficient during the heating period. In this case, switching off the pump by the heating actuator after the winter season would be advisable. Otherwise you would continuously use electricity to keep the heating closed by means of the NO actuators in the warm season.Who are the leading manufacturers of KNX heating actuators?The leading manufacturers of KNX heating actuators at eibabo® are, for example, ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, EIBMARKT, Elsner, Gira, Hager, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben.

Blind switch-push button - Do you have numerous windows and would like to operate your blinds or roller shutters easily and conveniently at the push of a button? No problem. If your shading has drive motors, you can easily control the up and down with a blind switch. With blind switches from the eibabo® shop, you can dispense with the hassle of manually opening and closing and equip your building with a high-quality electric blind control. If you want it to be particularly convenient, then products from our smart home range might also be an option for you. Talk to us, we are specialists in the field of building automation.Image: Busch Jaeger 2000/4 US shutter switch insertWhat are blind switches?Blind switches or buttons for roller shutters are components for controlling blinds and roller shutters. However, it is also possible to connect drives for opening and closing awnings, roller shutters and similar things. The polarity is reversed by operating the respective rocker switches or buttons or by turning a toggle or a key in different directions. This causes the actuator or motor to be controlled in two different directions.Please noteYou cannot use a normal switch to control blinds. In the case of blind buttons or blind switches, the control is interlocked. This means that there can be either only the up command or the down command. Simultaneous actuation in both directions is not possible.In addition to the simple switches and buttons, models with a latching function, rotary key switches, variants with remote control or radio control and devices with a bus connection for home automation are also available. The switches for surface mounting and flush mounting are also available.Special features of the classic roller shutter switchThe classic among roller shutter switches looks like a light switch. Installed in a conventional switch box or surface-mounted, operation is usually carried out using two buttons (up button and down button) or a two-way button. Normally you have to press the respective button until the desired position of the shading is reached. The motor stops when a button is released. The same applies to the rocker switch with the two-way button. With a latching switch, you press the button for the corresponding direction and the motor opens or closes the shade to the end position. If you want to stop this process, you can do so using a stop function. This is triggered by pressing it again or in the opposite direction.Special features of a rotary switch / toggle switch for blinds and roller shuttersTechnically, the rotary switch is identical to the classic roller shutter switch. The difference lies in the operation. With these models, you turn the so-called knob to the left or right to determine the direction in which the motor runs. Here, too, you have the choice between models with a locking function or variants in which you have to hold the toggle in the desired position.qualityAll blind switches in the eibabo® technology store come from well-known manufacturers such as Berker, Gira, Somfy, Jung, Siemens, Hager and Busch Jaeger. We regularly use this high-quality branded product in our own projects.Special features of a key switch for blinds and roller shuttersA key switch is rarely used in private rooms. In publicly accessible areas, however, the rotary key switch offers effective protection against use by unauthorized persons. A key is required for operation, which is turned in the lock to the left or right for the desired direction. Here, too, a snap-in function is optionally possible. Such a switch is usually surrounded by a solid metal housingAdvantages and disadvantages of manual blind controlThis purely mechanical type of control is comparatively simple and works depending on the type of shading:by means of a rotatable shaft, which is manually driven by a torsion bar or a crankpurely due to the gravity of the roller shutters or awnings - often a belt causes the shading to be lowered and pulled up The systems are robust and mostly low-maintenance. In comparison to the automatic solution, it is operated entirely without electricity. The shading can thus be controlled independently of existing lines or the availability of electricity. In addition, this variant is easier to install. No cables need to be laid. Manual control is usually cheaper than automatic control. With a manual blind control, it is not possible to group several shadings and regulate them together. Each window must be adjusted individually. It is also not possible to open or close according to a predetermined time setting, the position of the sun or the wind load.Advantages and disadvantages of an electric blind controlThe main advantage of the electrified blind control is the increased comfort. The basic functionality is identical to manual control. But instead of having to turn the crank, you can simply open and close your shading with the push of a button. With appropriate cabling, several windows can be operated simultaneously, but not independently of each other. The disadvantages are the higher installation costs and the dependence on electricity. In the event of a power failure, it is generally not possible to move the shading. The electrical control forms the basis for automating the system. However, this is not yet a 'real' automation. This offers even more comfort.Advantages and disadvantages of automatic blind controlThere are countless ways to respond to personal needs or environmental influences with automatic control. With the term 'Smart Home' we describe the automation of buildings or apartments in which all technical communication is combined in a single network. With sensors and actuators, the intelligent house handles many processes independently, including the control of roller shutters, awnings, roller shutters and blinds:With light sensors, the shading is regulated automatically depending on the intensity of the natural light and the direction of the sun's rays.Temperature sensors set the shading in motion as soon as the temperature in the room rises above a set value.Timers ensure automatic timing.Weather stations and precipitation sensors react to wind and rain, retract the shading and protect it from damage. TIPThe automated blind control can be wired or wireless, so the control can be central, decentralized or remote. This maximum level of comfort and flexibility is offset by higher installation costs for actuators, sensors and other software and hardware. In addition, when selecting wired devices, it is necessary to provide a separate data line. As a layman, you usually have to consult a specialist for the basic setup of the network. When the system is running, a lot of energy can also be saved with optimized processes. Installing automated shutters and blinds is a trendsetting way to control lighting in apartments and houses. This saves time, effort and energy. If you are interested in building automation, you will find everything you need here in the eibabo® shop.

Heating servomotor - The eibabo heating servomotors catalog lists servomotors and actuating drives in different designs for the regulation of the different types of heating. Servomotors for mixing units are used to regulate the temperatures of heating water. In most cases regulation by the actuating drive is usually automatic, but you can also operate the actuator manually if necessary. The servo motor or actuator for the heating is part of a control circuit or a control unit and is used for individual room regulation, for the regulation of zone valves or devices. Depending on the application, you can choose between electrical and thermal actuators. In commercial and industrial installations, pneumatic actuators or servomotors are often used. Servomotors for heating systems are usually valves that permit regulation. Set a certain value at the servo motor. If, during operation, a sensor / thermostat of the heating system detects a deviation from this set point, the actuator starts regulation. The actuator starts regulation automatically. You can use servo motors not only in heating systems, but in almost all automation systems. Basically, there are two different types of servomotors: In the currentless, normally closed type (NC) the expansion system of the actuator is heated after operating voltage is applied. Then, follows an even opening process. If the applied voltage is interrupted, the actuator expansion systems cools down and the actuator closes. The servomotor type with currentless, normally open design (NO) works the other way around. Using an adapter, you can employ eibabo actuators for all standard thermostat valves.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Spare parts for fittings > Electric servomotor you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorActuator for valvesControl valveDamper actuatorDriveElectr. actuator for valvesElectr. servomotor for valvesElectric actuatorElectric actuator for valvesElectric driveElectric motorElectric servo motorElectric servomotorElectrothermactuatorEngine valveHeater servomotorHeating actuatorMixing valve actuatorProportional motorServo motorServo motor, electricServomotorServomotor for valvesSpring return actuatorValve actuatorValve drivefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Heating servomotor:Alre-itDeviEberleGlen DimplexIssendorffJungMöhlenhoffTheben

Position switch - actuator - There are different types of position switches. For example, they are used wherever specific positions or settings of moving parts need to be recorded as part of the manufacturing process in systems and machines. This enables you to automatically initiate new work steps or to be informed about the completion of a process. In the case of position switches with a separate actuator, the two components are not connected to one another, but are designed in such a way that a switching operation is triggered when the actuator is brought together or separated functionally with the actuating system. Optimize your manufacturing processes and use high-quality position switches with separate actuators. Your eibabo technology store has the right items for you.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Sensors > Position switch with separate actuator you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ContactlessCounterDoor switchEnd switchInterlock switchLimit switchMagnetic force lockingPersonal protectionPosition switchPosition switch housingPosition switch lower partPosition switch with separate actuatorProcess protectionRow limit switchSafety position switchSafety switchSafety technology limit switchSafety-related position switchSafety-related single-position switchSecurity technologySingle position switchSmall limit switchSpring lockingStandard limit switchStandard position switchSwitchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Position switch - actuator:ABBEatonEuchnerLeuzeOmronPilzRockwellSchmersalSchneider ElectricSiemens

Blind actuator - How can I automate my shutters and blinds? Can the time of day, the weather and the position of the sun be taken into account? We provide recommendations and information on the purchase of KNX blind actuators and show you what options the technology offers you in everyday life.If you want to build a new house or renovate an existing building, many questions arise. The technical equipment in particular must be well thought out, because a later change is then only possible with a lot of effort. If you already include the advantages of intelligent building automation in your planning, then the opening, closing and shading of the windows will also play an important role.Useful application examples for controlling blinds or roller shutters:the up and down of roller shutters and blinds according to time specificationsturning the slats of blinds based on the brightness in the roomthe automatic opening of roller shutters or blinds when windows are openedthe simultaneous operation of several shading systemsthe flexible control or regulation of the roller shutters when you are absent via a smartphone appthe automatic drive to the safety position in the event of a storm alarm and back after the all-clearthe blocking of operation for certain peopleautomatic shading according to geographic location and position of the sun (astro control) The use of modern KNX blind actuators supports you in realizing all these projects. They ensure more security, greater comfort and increase the value of your property. What distinguishes a KNX blind actuator from a KNX switching actuator?All motorized equipment such as blinds or roller shutters can be automated using KNX blind actuators. Standard 230V blind actuators therefore have 2 channels per switching output. A channel to drive up and a channel to drive down. The channels are mutually locked to prevent damage to the drive. So only one phase can be switched through to the drive at a time, never both at the same time. TIP:Never use KNX switching actuators to control blinds and shutters without a downstream isolating relay. With classic KNX switching actuators, the channels are not mutually locked. It would therefore be possible to connect more than one phase to the drive. This can quickly lead to damage to the technology. There are models which, depending on the configuration, can be used both as a switching actuator and as a shutter actuator. Please read the specification of the respective actuator.What should be considered during installation?Motorized 3-point drives must not be connected in parallel. Group formations may only be carried out using isolating relays or group control devices if the manufacturer does not provide for any isolating function. For example, for 4 windows, each with a drive, you should use a KNX blind actuator with 4 channels. There is also the option of operating several drives via one channel using conventional isolating relays. The shutter actuator channel then controls the isolating relay and the drives are connected to the isolating relay. In the meantime, however, the prices for the KNX actuators have fallen massively, so that there is hardly any need to reduce costs by using isolating relays. TIP:When selecting your components, always prefer one blind actuator channel per blind motor. For example, if you would like to integrate 6, 8 or 12 blinds into your system, you will find the appropriate actuator here in the shop.Are blind actuators with 230V AC better than models with 24V DC?This question is not about better or worse. Rather, the type of voltage of the drives should always be considered. The drives of blinds or roller shutters are often designed as 230V AC (alternating voltage) or 24V DC (direct current). That's why you have to buy the matching blind actuator or roller shutter actuator. A 24V DC blind actuator or roller shutter actuator has a plus and a minus connection. A suitable KNX actuator generates the direction of travel (up/down) by changing the poles (pole reversal).Do shutter actuators require a separate power supply?The 24V DC mains supply is not provided by the actuator and must also be installed externally depending on the power requirement for simultaneity (central commands). In this case, very large power supply units can become necessary, which, in addition to high costs, also require a large amount of space. If you can, order 230V AC drives and matching 230V KNX blind actuators from the supplier. These also require their own power supply, but no additional power supply units.That is the reasonSo-called monostable relays are installed in the shutter actuators, which are open and not active when idle. However, the relays continuously require energy as long as they are closed (e.g. for the duration of a blind movement). The bus voltage alone cannot cover this requirement.In contrast, there are bistable relays in classic switching actuators. These only require some energy in the brief moment of switching from one position to another. This can be implemented via the bus and an additional power supply is usually not necessary.What do I need an SMI KNX blind actuator for?SMI stands for 'Standard Motor Interface' and is an intelligent, uniform and manufacturer-independent interface in building automation. This is used to connect various operating resources, such as window drives, roller shutter drives or blind drives to a higher-level building management system. There are SMI KNX blind actuators for drives with an SMI interface. These intelligent drives are therefore able to exchange data telegrams across manufacturers.Which actuators are recommended for controlling roller shutters and blinds?eibabo® carries KNX blind actuators, KNX roller shutter actuators and KNX SMI actuators from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens, Somfy, Theben, Warema and many other manufacturers.Over 25 years of experienceAll actuators that you get here in the shop are of high quality and reliable. We regularly use these actuators in our projects all over the world.Benefit from our low prices and take advantage of safe, fast and worldwide shipping.1-byte communication object - what is that?In any case, make sure that your blind actuator or roller shutter actuator has a 1-byte communication object for the runtime and slat, in order to be able to enable automatic or targeted control if required.There are no slats in roller shutters, which is why roller shutter actuators do not have the slat communication object, only Up/Down/Stop. Roller shutter actuators often have a 1-bit object for a defined positioning movement that can be set via the ETS software.1 byte means that values between 0-255 can be approached, which correspond to 0-100% related to the travel time. The parameters often allow the running time to be set according to the driving time. The travel time of the blind or roller shutter is entered once in the actuator using the ETS software, namely for a complete opening or closing for each channel of the actuator. There are also actuators for evaluating limit switches, which the motorized drive provides.Image: KNX blind actuator ? Eibmarkt JA.6.230The extensive application of the KNX blind actuator / roller shutter actuator JA.6.230 from Eibmarkt® shown here enables a wide range of parameterization via the communication object, including scenes for runtime and slats, blocking functions, automatic functions, security functions and alarm functions, movement limitations, position feedback and much more.Can a layperson use the ETS software to program the KNX devices?Don't be put off by the term 'programming'. The ETS software is only used to assign and parameterize certain actions. Programming skills or learning a programming language are not required. If you have some imagination to understand logical connections, then you are quite capable of creating a project.our recommendationFor more complex projects, a certain amount of experience is of course helpful. Have the basic project created by a qualified system integrator. In this way, you will later be able to easily change important parameters yourself if circumstances require it.Roughly explained: Imagine the folder system on your Windows PC or iOS computer. Here you create your own structure, save files in it and create links to other folders. This is similar with the ETS software. The 'folders' can be floors or rooms and the 'files' in them are the sensors or actuators of the respective room or electrical distribution cabinet, which you then link to one another.What types of installation are there for KNX blind actuators?KNX blind actuators are available for every type of installation at eibabo®.
