Multiple control unit - Would you like to be able to conveniently regulate and control sensors and actuators in your smart home from a central location? Very easily. With multiple operating devices from the eibabo® online shop, you are opting for the best quality and high-quality workmanship. Typically, an individual assignment of different functions is possible. The eibabo® shop stands for excellent value for money.What is a multiple operator panel?Multiple operating devices are items, mostly KNX push-button sensors, which are equipped with special functions. These are, for example, infrared interfaces or room temperature controllers to implement extensive detailed circuits. TIP:The installation on the wall takes place at approx. 1.60 m upper edge of the finished floor. This simplifies operation and integrated sensors (e.g. for the room temperature) deliver optimal measurement results. Multiple operating devices often have rocker switches to which you can assign different function inputs at the same time, for example switching the light and adjusting the room temperature. You will also find specific special devices in this eibabo® catalogue. These can be special KNX displays or KNX touch operating devices with special additional functions.Which functions can I map with a multiple operator panel?Depending on the manufacturer, multiple operating devices differ in terms of design, quality, user guidance and scope of the application (software). While simple devices only have the classic basic functions, complex models resemble real 'control centers' for the visualization and operation of various building automation systems. A little overview:When used as a KNX room operating device, the focus is on switching, pressing, dimming as well as controlling blinds and roller shutters. In addition, there is the temperature measurement and temperature control, optionally with different operating modes, switching times or protective circuits against frost and heat. In addition, the control of air conditioning and ventilation systems may be possible. Background lighting, status displays and displays for the date, time and temperature make operation easy. But such a multiple operating device can do even more. TIP:We recommend good advance planning so that you can later accommodate all the functions you need in your multiple control panel. As a security station, for example, you can open and close doors or use the intercom function. Cameras can also be switched if a screen is integrated or connected. You can also implement the operation of the alarm system or in-house communication (internal call, storey call). If required, you can also use such a device as a client for external SIP systems (VoIP communication). With the integration of Internet services, you are able to call up weather data and weather forecasts, web radio and streaming services.Are the multiple operator panels with touch displays better than the simple models with buttons?All models have their advantages and disadvantages. There is basically no better or worse. Much more important is whether a device is suitable for the intended use or not. The range of functions and the operation of the functions play a decisive role. If you would like to operate two to three basic functions, a device designed for this purpose with two to six buttons is sufficient. You assign the respective function to them via Engineering Tool Software (ETS) or proprietary software. If you want to keep the option open for additional functions, a device with a display would be recommended. Depending on the model, you often have the option of providing each button with additional functions. You can trigger this, for example, with a long press, double-click or triple-click. In this way, you can later assign additional keys or expand the range of functions of the device. A display provides an overview. As a communication center for an entire building, we recommend a solution with a touch display. This allows you to organize dozens of parameters clearly using a menu structure.The advantages and disadvantages of multiple operating devicesThe biggest advantage is the central regulation and control of a large number of actions. In addition, you can react comfortably and flexibly to changes and expansions. The architecture of the electrical installation must be well thought out beforehand, especially in the case of a new building or a building renovation. In this way you can later use all desired functions optimally. The disadvantage lies in the higher acquisition costs of such a system compared to individual, conventional devices. With units without a display, with many keys and multiple key assignments, it is easy to lose track.Do all multiple operating devices have an integrated bus connection?Multiple operating devices are designed as part of an automated building structure and usually have an integrated bus connection. This can be recognized by the red and black or red and gray Bus Terminal. Some devices are not equipped with a bus coupler and are plugged onto a separate flush-mounted bus coupler, for example.How are multiple operator panels attached?If you look at the back of the various multiple operator panels, you will notice that they can look different. Many models are designed for installation in one or more switch boxes, whereby the actual attachment can be individual. Please pay attention to a suitable system for you. Devices with a plastic ring and clamps (on the left in the picture) only offer a secure hold if the ring lies firmly and flush against the wall. Small bumps in the plaster or a switch box that protrudes a little too far are not compensated for. This can cause the device to wobble. Screw other devices directly into the switch box. This connection is more stable (middle picture). For some flush-mounted devices, you should use a deep switch box to have more space for connecting the cables (picture on the right).Image: Multiple operating devices mounting typesVariants without their own KNX connection are usually connected to a bus coupler permanently installed in the switch box. These are also securely fastened. If you are planning to install it in a place that is accessible to strangers, we recommend a model with dismantling protection.How do I change the button assignment on multiple operator panels?Normally, the assignment of the key functions can be freely parameterized in the case of multiple operator panels. This is typically done with ETS, the Engineering Tool Software. This is a tool that you need to commission the KNX devices. You can obtain the software from www.knx.org. The ETS is used to parameterize your system and is generally suitable for laypersons who are interested in the logic of the KNX. No programming knowledge is required to make changes to the key assignment. An understanding of simple logical connections is sufficient. We recommend having an experienced system integrator perform the initial setup and have them explain how the setup works. This way you will later be able to change small things yourself.Which multiple operator panel should I buy?That decision is up to you, but maybe we can help. There are numerous versions of KNX multiple operating devices. Manufacturers offer solutions that suit every taste or style of living. But don't let the looks alone guide you. We generally recommend studying the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the commissioning software (ETS). This ensures that you are able to control the necessary actions via touch sensors or the display. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the multiple control device and decide on a suitable model at top conditions from our shop. TIP:Depending on the model, it is possible to set status LEDs depending on the ambient brightness. In a darkening room, the status LEDs automatically dim and do not disturb at night. In addition to the technical performance, the optics also play a role. Rely on shapes, colors and materials that have a positive effect in the long term. Think about whether you'll enjoy brightly colored displays or LEDs over the long term, or whether it should be more subtle. If possible, opt for dimmable displays or LEDs that can be switched off.High gloss or matteGlass or painted surfaces are beautiful to look at. Note that dirt and fingerprints are quickly visible. Shiny surfaces need to be cleaned more often than matt or rough surfaces.Timeless surface designs made of metal or glass are simple, elegant and look classy. But even with plastic housings, you don't have to make any compromises in terms of design. Many manufacturers offer buttons in acrylic or in a brushed or satined metal look.Which manufacturer of multiple operator panels is recommended?At the eibabo® technology store, we stock high-quality multiple control devices from numerous well-known manufacturers such as Berker, Busch Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten, Metz, Peha, Thermokon, Warema and Zumtobel. With over 25 years of experience, we can recommend the items from these manufacturers. Please take a look at the following product presentation. There, excellent multiple operator panels are presented according to their relevance.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Multi operating device for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Battery operationBrightnessBus couplerBus technologyButton interfaceCareControl panelControl unitExpansion moduleHumidityLight controlLine of lightMagnetic contactMoellerfunkMultistationOperating unitRadio controlRadio systemRemote controlRoom controllerRoom temperature controllerRoom temperature sensorTactile sensorTactile sensorsTemperature controllerTemperature inputTemperature transmitterTouch displayfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Multiple control unit:BerkerBusch JaegerGiraJungMDTMertenZumtobel
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). Select KNX push-button sensors in the following versions: KNX push-button sensor, KNX sensor unit, KNX wall sensor, KNX room control unit, KNX push-button sensor module, KNX push-button sensor extension module, KNX push-button 1-fold, KNX push-button 2-fold, KNX push-button 4-fold, KNX push-button 5-way, 6-way KNX button, 8-way KNX button, KNX control panel, KNX button with bus coupler, KNX button module, KNX touch sensor, KNX button sensor plus, KNX glass button.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Touch sensor for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Adapter frameBuilding controlBus couplerBus technologyButton couplerCabel CanalColor displayContactlessControl elementGlass buttonGlass sensorGroup button bus couplerLight scene touch sensorsNickel metallicOutdoor areaPendulum fanReceiving sensorRemote controlRemovable fanShutter buttonSingle rockerSplash proofTactile sensorsTemperature sensorTitle blockTouch sensorWireless pushbuttonWireless solutionfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Tactile sensor:ABBAVM ComputersystemeBerkerbticinoBusch JaegerEatonElsnerESYLUXGiraHagerIssendorffJungLingg & JankeMaicoMDTMertenRopagSiemensTheben
Lighting control system - By regulating the light intensity, we consciously influence our mood, the way we work or our sleep patterns. An evening for two is much more romantic with dimmed lights, or cooking is much easier if you always have a good view of the pots. Find out here how and with what you can control the brightness in your rooms exactly as you want.The eibabo® technology store offers a very extensive range of items for light control. For example, access our high-quality switches, buttons, potentiometer inserts (generally referred to as dimmers), light sensors, switching modules or components for smart home control. Well-known manufacturers, best quality, fair prices, fast delivery and secure payment are our arguments for shopping in the eibabo® online shop.What are light control systems?Light control systems are traditional or intelligent devices that allow you to control the lighting in a room. Depending on your wishes and needs, there are different types of light control systems available. Probably the simplest example of light control is the classic switch that turns the light on and off. Another option is to switch the light on when movement is detected. A motion detector or a presence detector is used here. But the lighting control can be much more complex and in such cases requires very individual components. And that's exactly what this catalog from the eibabo® online shop is all about.Image: Ledvance DALI PCU lighting control systemWhat types of light control systems are there?In general, there are hardly any limits to the implementation of your lighting control ideas. Depending on your needs, you can simply switch your light on manually, automatically or networked. The more complex the system, the more individual freedom you have to realize your ideas or increase comfort. Even if network systems are more expensive to purchase, they save up to 30% in electricity costs over time thanks to intelligent control management. The following types of light control are possible:Manual light controlManually turning on and off is the most widely used lighting control. It is difficult to save electricity with it. You have to constantly remember to turn on the lights only when you actually need them. The use of economical LEDs can help save on energy costs. Dimming is a slightly more advanced way of controlling room lighting. However, this is also manual. Dimmer switches allow you to dim the lighting to the desired level. This in turn saves a little more electricity.Automatic light controlWith automatic light control, a sensor usually switches the lights on and off. You can specify the criteria according to which this happens and how long such switching cycles last. So you can't forget to turn off the light. To automate outdoor lighting, you may want to install motion sensors. The lighting is then only activated when there is a certain amount of darkness and a person or vehicle is moving in the detection area of the detector. After a certain period of inactivity, the device switches the light off again. Presence detectors or presence sensors are used indoors. Their basic switching principle is comparable to that of motion detectors. These record movements within a room. Presence detectors are ideal for bathrooms, toilets, break rooms and hallways.Networked light controlThe most advanced type of light control is the networked system. This is often part of building automation, but can also be designed as a stand-alone system. Networked lighting systems make it possible to control lighting from computers, multifunction devices, remote controls or smartphones. The prerequisite for this is the connection to a central control unit. Advanced programs can even store data and create usage charts, so you can closely monitor your energy consumption.Basically, we differentiate networked lighting between centralized, wireless or combined light control systems. With the centralized system, all lighting circuits from a room or building come together at a central location. The classic wall switch is replaced by one or more multifunctional pushbutton sensors or touch displays. These allow you to control the light in different ways. This requires an integrated processor that manages the additional functions. Depending on the range of functions of the components and programming, at the touch of a button, for example:call up interesting light scenesdim different lighting groupssynchronize the lighting with the movement of the sunmake switching on and off dependent on the actual brightnessadjust the color of the light sourceGenerate operating hours, consumption and other data through measurement and/or monitoringand so forth An alternative to the centralized solution is the wireless variant. This consists of controllable dimmers and switches that have replaced the traditional standalone switches and dimmers. The wireless system is of particular interest in renovations and retrofits as there are fewer cables to run. The existing installation can usually be built on. The installation is easy, the costs are manageable. The wireless light control can be operated like a centralized system and contain the same programming options. All dimmers and switches are wirelessly connected to the control unit's processor.The advantagesBy adjusting color or intensity, light controls can: Reduce glare; change the atmosphere and mood; make the room function more flexible; reduce energy consumption and increase safety.A combined light control is a mixture of both systems described. Both wireless and wired devices are included in a system and exchange information with each other. This option is often implemented when expanding central systems. All of the systems mentioned offer the user comprehensive and individual comfort and are mostly intuitive and easy to manage.What are the requirements for a networked lighting control system?The individual components of a lighting control system (controllers, ballasts, drivers and light sources) must be compatible with one another to ensure proper operation of the system. This means: The components must communicate in order to be able to execute the control strategy. This so-called interoperability depends on the control method or the protocol. NoticeA protocol is a set of rules that defines the behavior of components in a system in a specific language. Examples of well-known and widespread protocols include the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and ZigBee. All controllers must be designed for the same protocol to ensure good interoperability. The individual protocols differ with regard to the software structure. There are:open or standardized protocols that are available and usable for all manufacturersProtocols that represent an optimized solution for only one manufacturer and bind the user to this manufacturer for future maintenance, changes or extensionsa combination of both; i.e. an open protocol that is tailored to specific providers or a provider-specific protocol that is made available to other providers through licensing If you want to integrate components with different protocols, this is possible by using a gateway (hardware or software). In addition, various applications and software for building automation support the implementation of light control systems. With this you can for example:discover devicesAssign specific control points to lighting zonesProgram scenarios for lighting zonesCalibrate sensors and set actuatorsmonitor checkpointsIssue service warnings and alarmsRecord energy consumption and display, log, evaluate and back up other dataCreate users and access levels   Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Light control > Lighting control system component you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Ambient lightCentral controlComfortableControl elementDALI unitHall lightingInterior lightInterior lightsLight control deviceLight line systemLight managementLight meterLightingLighting controlMini sensorMotion detectorMotion sensorMounting frameMounting rail lightRadio linkRain gaugeRotary dimmerSensorsSISignal converterSmartphone controlTwilight sensorUniversal dimmerWarehouse lightingfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Lighting control system:ABBArcliteBarthelmeBEGA GantenbrinkBrumbergBusch JaegerCeagDoepkeEberleEltakoEVNFinderFischerGiraHagerHeraHoubenIDVJungLEDVANCENobileOpple LightingPhilips LichtPräzisaRadiumRegioluxRidi-LeuchtenRZBSchalkSchmitz-LeuchtenSchneider ElectricSignify PLSSitecoSLVThebenTriluxZumtobel
Coupler - If you want to connect an application module to the KNX bus in your building automation, you need a bus coupler. Here you can find out which functions a bus coupler can take on and which device is suitable for you and your application. As a specialist center for building automation, the eibabo® shop offers you all the components you need to set up simple and complex installations at top conditions. Our product range extends from sensors and actuators, control units and power supplies to motors and drives.What is a bus coupler?Within conventional electrical installations, the function of a system results from the type of wiring. The use of the KNX bus system makes the functionality significantly more flexible. Here the function of the system is determined by the application (software) and the parameterization of individual KNX participants. KNX participants are application modules such as buttons, switches, actuators, weather stations, motion detectors, shutter actuators and so on. This has clear advantages. If, for example, the requirement changes, the function can be adapted by changing the parameterization. The installation itself remains unchanged. To implement such an installation, a so-called KNX bus line is usually laid in addition to the line for the mains voltage. This carries 30V DC and is used to transmit the signals for switching, controlling, regulating or monitoring between all participants.Image: Jung 2070 U KNX bus couplerA universal interface is required so that the KNX participants can send and receive signals to one another. The KNX bus coupler is this interface between the application modules and the KNX bus. Bus couplers are available as permanently connected combination devices together with application modules or as a separate module for flush-mounting, surface-mounting and installation. With the latter, the function of the bus coupler only results from the plugging in of an application module and its parameterization by the device-specific application.What tasks does a bus coupler take on?The bus coupler is responsible for all tasks that directly affect the KNX system in any way. The bus coupler makes the so-called bus voltage available to the application modules. Nothing works without electricity and many of these modules do not have a separate power supply. With very simple application modules, the bus coupler records their sensor data and actuator functions and processes them in such a way that they are 'understood' by other participants. Finally, the bus coupler takes over the actual processing of the data traffic. The application modules establish the connection to the user. In addition to buttons, motion detectors and controllers, these can also be display panels, motors or signaling devices.The KNX bus coupler with program memoryA KNX bus coupler with program memory consists on the one hand of the transmitter module, which defines the connected medium. On the other hand, there is the bus coupler controller with a microcontroller for organizing the data traffic. The manufacturer's system software is permanently stored there. It cannot be changed by the user. The device-specific application and the information for parameterization are stored in another so-called flash memory or ROM read-only memory. The device receives this during commissioning or when the parameterization is changed via the bus (S mode).Good to knowWhen configuring KNX devices, we differentiate between E-mode and S-mode. In E-mode, the bus coupler is supplied with the application (software) loaded. In S mode, the function of the device is only determined when the application is loaded. Normally, the application (via the ETS) is loaded into the bus coupler.This defines the desired functions of the device, for example:Affiliation to group addresseswhether an actuator should dim or switchwhich dimming speed should be maintainedat which basic brightness it starts and where the end point iswhat happens after a power failure and power recoveryand so forth This data remains stored even in the event of a power failure. Current measured values and switching states are stored in the RAM memory and are lost in the event of a power failure or when the device is reset.The KNX bus coupler without program memoryMemory-intensive functional logic and address extensions, as well as controllers and chipsets, are increasingly being outsourced to the application modules. These bus couplers without program memory consist only of the media-specific transmission module with the digital interface to the application microcontroller. These are only used to manage group addresses and ensure standardized data traffic according to the KNX protocol.How is the interface between the bus coupler and user module structured?The interface to the user module consists of a standardized plug connection with 10 poles. Both the power supply and the data exchange are implemented via this.How do I recognize whether a device already has a bus coupler?You can purchase and install the bus coupler and user module either separately or as a permanently connected complete device. Each KNX device with a red/black bus connection terminal already has a bus coupler. Please note:In the case of series installation devices (REG devices for electrical distribution for mounting on DIN rails), the bus coupler is not visible as an individual device, but is integrated in the device. Examples of this are KNX switching actuators or KNX dimming actuators.Which devices do not have an integrated bus coupler?With push button sensors, you often have to order the bus coupler separately from the push button. The end device (e.g. temperature controller, motion detector or touch sensor) is plugged onto the bus coupler via a multi-pin application interface. However, pushbutton sensors and room controllers (combined pushbuttons with room temperature controllers) including bus couplers are increasingly being supplied. Therefore, pay attention to the item description and prices.Are bus couplers and user modules compatible across manufacturers?As a rule, you have to order the bus coupler manufacturer-specifically to match the application modules. The device-specific application program must also be from the same provider. For example, you cannot operate a Gira KNX push button sensor with a Hager KNX bus coupler.eibabo® has all KNX bus couplers from the relevant KNX brand manufacturers in its portfolio. These include in particular ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, Lingg & Janke, Merten, Siemens and Theben.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Bus coupler for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bus couplerBus coupler moduleBus technologyButton couplerControl panelControl unitHome electronicsInterfaceInterface converterLight controlPresence detectorRadio systemSocket coverTactile sensorTransducerWind controlfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Coupler:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEltakoGiraIssendorffJungLingg & JankeSiemensSteinelWarema
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.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Dimmer you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Additional moduleAwning controlBlind controlBrightness sensorControl devicesCord switchDimmer moduleDimmtronicEnergy efficientExtensionFlush-mounted boxFront buttonGroup controlIncremental encoderLight controllerLight emitting diodeLightbulbsLighting controlOutdoor spotlightPatio heaterPressure dimmerRadio dimmerRotary dimmerSerial dimmerSpeed controller insertUniversal dimmerUniversal dimming insertWeather stationfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Dimmers:BachmannBerkerBusch JaegerDoepkeElsoEltakoEthermaFinderGiraGrotheHagerHeraJungLEDVANCELegrand BticinoMertenPehaRademacherSchalkScharnberger+Has.Schneider ElectricSchultzeSiemensTheben
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.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Dimming actuator for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorBasic moduleBinary inputBrightness controlBus technologyControl blockControl unitDimmer plugDimming actuatorsDimming extensionDIN railEnergy efficientExpansion moduleFan driveFunction moduleLight controllerLightbulbsLightingLighting technologyLuminaire controlOutput moduleRadio controlRadio receiverRetrofit lampsSocket coverStarter packUniversal dimmerUniversal dimming actuatorfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Dimming actuator:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEatonElsoEltakoESYLUXFinderfrogblue AGGiraHagerIssendorffJungLegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOLingg & JankeMDTMean WellMertenPehaSchneider ElectricSiemensThebenWielandZumtobel
Motion detector - complete - What are the special features of a motion detector? What are the main differences between motion detectors and presence detectors? Before you decide on a device, weigh up which one is the right one for your application. In the following, we will describe the properties and provide you with information on how to make a purchase decision. In our range you will find a large selection of complete motion detectors from all major manufacturers.What is a motion detector?The motion detector is an electronic sensor that detects movements in its immediate vicinity. Motion detectors, guards and presence detectors work as electrical switches. These are used to switch on lighting or to trigger another switching action. Active motion detectors usually work with electromagnetic waves (high frequency or Doppler radar) or with ultrasound. Passive motion detectors work based on the infrared radiation in the area. Detectors with PIR sensors react to temperature changes caused by people walking by.Image: Busch Jaeger 6845/11 AMG-204 outdoor motion detectorWhat questions should you ask yourself before buying a motion detector?Before you buy one of the high-quality and inexpensive devices from the eibabo® shop, you should limit the large selection based on your intended use.Should the device be installed inside or outside?Do you prefer a built-in device / flush-mounted device or should the motion detector be mounted on the wall or ceiling?What should the motion detector react to?Are large, small, bright or dark areas being monitored?Should the motion detector trigger certain actions?Is there a suitable power supply?Do lines and cables have to be relaid?Should the device be protected from unauthorized access or vandalism? What is the difference between presence detectors and motion detectors?Basically, a distinction is made between conventional presence detectors / motion detectors and devices for building automation. Presence detectors can usually also be used as motion detectors. The differences and significant advantages of a presence detector compared to a motion detector lie in the more variable usability. While motion detectors carry out a simple light measurement, presence detectors constantly measure daylight and/or mixed light with a special sensor. This has a spectral sensitivity similar to that of the human eye. In contrast to motion detectors, disturbances caused by artificial light are avoided.Already knew?A motion detector is used to switch on when motion is detected. The purpose of a presence detector is to switch loads on or off in order to save energy. It switches when no more movement is detected or a brightness limit is exceeded.Briefly explained using the example of an automatic door: If there is sufficient brightness during the day, the lighting should not be activated while the door should open when a presence is detected. Both should be switched on when it is dark. You can usually implement this function via several channels in the presence detector. Use the motion detection channel to switch the lighting depending on the brightness. You can use the presence detection channel to switch other consumers, in this case the door opener, regardless of the brightness.Which areas of application are typical for presence detectors and motion detectors?Presence detectors offer a complex sensor system. This captures sensitive movements. Typical areas of application are office workplaces and other workplaces. A motion detector is preferably used in small rooms, garages, carports, corridors, cellars, stairwells or for monitoring outdoor areas.Can presence detectors and motion detectors be used for building automation?Conventional versions are primarily intended for the areas of application described above. If you want to integrate such a device into your smart home, you usually need a separate interface to the KNX bus. The more elegant solution is to use detectors that are already KNX-capable. KNX presence detectors and KNX motion detectors have a wide range of control parameters indoors and outdoors. With this you can:Switch or dim lightsblinds or roller shuttersControl heating, air conditioning and ventilationSet up master/slave functionsBuild blocking operation functions and logic functionsImplement features for pets (animal swath).and much more Multiple channels are often provided to control individual functions.Are there any recommendations for installing motion detectors and presence detectors?The detection areas and necessary mounting heights differ depending on the model. Choose equipment that suits your needs. Pay attention to the performance of the sensors and the angle of coverage. Basically, the following applies: the detection area increases with increasing installation height. However, the sensitivity decreases. Motion detectors and presence detectors detect a specific area of the environment. This can be a 360° detection or the targeted monitoring of a specific area.From own experienceWe recommend not choosing a detection area that is too large. Use additional detectors to ensure uninterrupted surveillance. The investment in additional technology is low compared to a system that works poorly or not at all.Pay attention to the necessary degrees of protection if a detector is exposed to moisture, the weather or mechanical influences. Clean the sensor regularly. By avoiding sources of interference, you ensure proper function and eliminate false signals. Sources of interference include:Objects that obstruct the viewdazzling light sourcesObjects that rapidly change the temperature of the detection area Why is my motion detector or presence detector not working properly?Proper functioning depends on various factors. Was the installation carried out correctly? Is the device suitable for the intended purpose? The malfunction often lies in a detection range that is not optimally set. Control the direction, angle of view and distance to the target area. TIP:The fewer movements you expect in the monitored area, the longer you should choose the follow-up time. The run-on time is restarted again and again as long as a detector detects a change.Who makes high-quality presence detectors and motion detectors?Here in the shop you can get detectors from the brands ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, eQ-3, Esylux, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten, Peha, Siemens, Steinel and Theben at top conditions.

Low-voltage transformer - It is often not enough to mount lightbulbs in the ceiling, in the wall, in the stairs or in the closet. Especially with built-in lights, transformers are often required, which reduce the voltage to 12 volts or another value. But why are transformers necessary at all? In this text you will learn more about low-voltage transformers, how they are used and which criteria you should consider when purchasing.What are lighting transformers?Low-voltage transformers are important operating devices for lights. These are devices for converting a certain voltage to another voltage. In many cases, the 220 volts at the input of the device is converted to 12 volts at the output of the device. On the one hand, this reduction serves to ensure safety, because a 12 volt voltage does not pose a danger to life and limb when touched. This also ensures that the lamp does not fail in the event of voltage peaks. In other words: a transformer protects against short circuits and overheating and is a device that makes it possible to switch the light on and off.Image: LEDVANCE HTL225/230-240 Halotronic transformerDo transformers affect the lifespan of the lamp?How long a lamp works depends on its quality, frequency of use and duration of use. Frequent switching cycles have an effect on the service life, especially with conventional light sources. Continuous operation of the light bulbs can also lead to wear and tear and premature failure. In principle, a transformer connected in front of it has no influence on this. However, the device 'smoothes out' fluctuations in the energy supply and can thus positively influence the service life of a classic light bulb. In this regard, it should be noted that even transformers can burn out over time. However, this happens very rarely and also depends on the quality of the device. In times when conventional light sources are increasingly being replaced by modern and long-lasting LED technology, the question of consumption and efficiency is often asked in contrast to lifespan.Is a 12 volt bulb more economical than a 220 volt bulb?It is widely believed that 12 volt incandescent lamps save electricity compared to 220 volt incandescent lamps. However, that is not true. Saving electricity depends on the power and not on the voltage.How do I find the right transformer for my lighting?Because transformers are commonly used with recessed lights, we'll stick with this type of lighting. It depends on the lamps used which transformer you need. For safety reasons, the use of low-voltage lights is strongly recommended, especially in rooms with high humidity. If you use LEDs, you need a different transformer than with classic halogen lamps. So before you choose one or the other transformer, you have to decide on a specific light source. The service life of LEDs is usually more than 50,000 hours. These are therefore much more durable than comparable halogen lamps. In addition, the heat generated by LEDs is significantly lower, which is an advantage for built-in lights without air circulation. Disadvantages of LEDs are the higher price and the special nature of the light emission. Their light is generated by a directed luminous flux, which can quickly lead to signs of fatigue. Therefore, LEDs are mainly used as accent lighting in the background (in cupboards and shelves, as an orientation light on the stairs). A lamp with halogen lamps is typically recommended for the basic lighting of a room.Basically, we distinguish between low-voltage transformers:Devices that have a winding and work by means of inductionDevices that are exclusively electronically controlled Transformers with winding are primarily used with halogen lamps. These consist of two copper windings (coils), which interact with each other through an electromagnetic field and can thus reduce the voltage. The electronic transformers reduce the mains voltage using electronic circuits. These devices are therefore the newer generation and offer the following advantages over conventional transformers:light and compacthigh degree of protection against short circuitsalmost silent operationProtection against overload and overheatingSoft start possible With these features, longevity is achieved for both the transformer and the halogen lamps. Already knewElectronic transformers have an efficiency of over 95%. Transformers with coils achieve an efficiency of around 80%. When using LEDs you need a different type of transformer. Please note that these devices are not interchangeable with the transformers for halogen lamps, even if they have the same nominal power and output voltage. In a halogen lamp, the filament serves as the light source. The lighting of an LED is based on completely different physics. Here, electric current flows through a diode and releases some of the energy in the form of light photons. This difference in the generation of light places individual demands on the respective electronic transformers, for example:Transformers for halogen lamps generate an AC voltage. This has positive and negative pulses and is not suitable for continuous operation of an LED. An LED is operated with direct current. Although many LEDs have a rectifier, the conversion can lead to increased heat generation and thus to a shorter service life.For example, in the case of transformers for halogen lamps, the average output voltage is 12 volts. In reality, however, this value is not constant and can vary up and down. These can be voltage peaks when switching or depend on the mains voltage at the input, the connected load and the ambient temperature. A halogen lamp can cope with these fluctuations without being damaged. An LED cannot do this.LEDs have significantly less power than halogen lamps. An electronic transformer for halogen lamps requires a certain base load in watts in order to function properly. If this base load is not reached, the light flickers, shines too weakly or not at all.Is it possible to dim halogen lamps and LEDs with a transformer?Regardless of whether you are using a conventional or an electronic transformer, dimming 12 volt halogen lamps is usually always possible without any problems. It is only important that the individual components are compatible with each other.TIPTypically, so-called leading edge dimmers are combined with conventional transformers, whereas trailing edge dimmers are used for electronic transformers. If you are not sure, choose a universal dimmer from our range.If you want to dim LED lamps, all interacting components must be marked accordingly. This means that both the transformer and the LEDs themselves, as well as any ballast that may be required, must be dimmable.Which low-voltage transformers does the eibabo® shop offer?At eibabo® you will find an extensive range of lights and the right low-voltage transformers for your lighting installation. In addition to dimmer transformers and DALI switching power supplies, we also carry low-voltage transformers, plug-in transformers, safety transformers, electromagnetic transformers, power supplies, ballasts and Tronic transformers.
