Wiha - In today's production and manufacturing, nothing works without suitable and sometimes very individual tools. However, it is not always just the special tools that enable efficient working methods. It can often also be standard products such as screwdrivers or socket wrenches that make work easier, provided they are precise, stable, well thought-out and of high quality. Wiha Tools is one such manufacturer of hand tools for trade and industry. The company headquarters are in Schonach in the Black Forest. The company was founded in 1939 by Willi Hahn as Willi Hahn GmbH & Co. KG in Wuppertal. His initials formed the company name. While molded parts such as screws and nuts were initially manufactured, the production of screwdrivers started after the Second World War. International business began in the mid-1980s with the founding of a subsidiary in the USA, today's Willi Hahn Corporation. Over the years, other branches followed in France, Spain, England, Denmark, Poland, India, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Canada and Finland. The owner-managed company is one of the 'global players' in the field of hand tools and currently employs more than 750 people worldwide. There are over 3,500 different hand tools in the Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH catalogue, including screwdrivers, torque wrenches and offset screwdrivers, bits, pliers, hammers and measuring tools.

Cable shears - It can be tricky to cut a strong or rigid cable with classic scissors, pliers or a utility knife. Save yourself the trouble and grab a high-quality and inexpensive cable cutter from the eibabo® shop. In the following article we describe the different models and support you in your purchase decision.With a good pair of cable cutters, you can cut your wires and cables to the right size. Depending on the requirements and thickness of the cable, different cable cutters are used. While in the do-it-yourself sector scissors are often sufficient for cables with a diameter of up to 16 mm, professionals in the industrial sector need tools with a higher cutting capacity. Here cables can have a diameter of 50 mm and more. Especially if you have a lot to do with electrical installations professionally, the use of good cable cutters is essential. This ensures a precise cut without squeezing the veins. Hydraulic cordless cable cutters are also available in the eibabo® shop for particularly demanding tasks. The high-quality tools are mainly designed for copper and aluminum cables. Please note that not every pair of scissors is suitable for cutting steel and steel wire.What do I use cable cutters for?Cable shears (also wire cutters) are used when electrical wires and cables need to be cut cleanly. Depending on the task, the insulation or the wire should not be damaged. Cable cutters are suitable for use in new installations as well as for maintenance work and repairs to electrical installations.Image: Klauke K 106/2 cable shearsWhat are the advantages of a cable cutter?Cable cutters are designed to properly cut wire or cable. It is important to avoid or minimize damage to the insulation or the inner conductor of a wire. A clean cut makes further work easier and increases the subsequent quality of an electrical connection. If unsuitable tools are used, there is a risk of damage, cracks and cuts in the insulation as well as unclean cut edges. This can affect the reliability of an insulation. If the inner conductor is damaged, its conductivity may be disrupted or the strength of a connection cannot be guaranteed. Cable shears therefore have specially shaped cutting jaws, which are optimized for the respective task. This largely prevents slipping or accidental damage during the cut.In addition, manufacturers are beginning to expand the functionality of the cable shears for other electrical installation applications. The tools are not only used for cutting, but also for stripping or crimping ferrules. A multi-tool increases productivity and saves weight in the tool belt.With which core cross-sections or cable strengths do cable cutters work?Each cable cutter is designed for use within a specific material thickness range. Some are designed in such a way that they can be used particularly well for fine-wire cables. Others are optimized for solid conductors. In the eibabo® shop you can get cable cutters that can process cable diameters of over 100 mm or cable cross-sections of over 3,000 mm². TIP:Pay attention to the type of conductor material that cable snips or wire cutters are designed for. A wire is not always made of copper or aluminum. There are suitable tools for cutting special conductor materials. Please refer to the product description or the data sheet for the tool.How do the cable cutters differ from each other?Cable shears and wire cutters in our range are divided into:hand toolsHand tools with ratchet functionbattery powered hydraulic tools Each of these types differs significantly from the others and offers individual advantages. The simplest models are the classic hand tools. Hand-operated cable shears cut cables, lines and wires by squeezing the cutting jaws once. Ratcheting models cut through thicker cables. If it is difficult or impossible to separate with one hand, you may have to start several times. Ratchet tools are ideal for this. The cutting blade remains in position after the first 'stroke' and holds the uncut cable. The handle opens again and you can start the second (or third...) 'stroke' until the material is severed. The battery-powered hydraulic tools are used for particularly demanding tasks. These devices generate enormous force and can also cut through cables with steel wire sheathing, for example. Their area of application is in the professional, industrial environment. Hydraulic support is usually not required for domestic use.What are the advantages of ratchet shears?Whether a cable cutter with a ratchet is advantageous for you depends on your individual requirements. Are you a hobbyist who occasionally cuts through standard cables in your free time? Then you probably don't need ratcheting shears. However, if you have to work regularly with a lot of strong cables for work or other reasons, using a cable cutter with a ratchet can offer some advantages. The biggest advantage lies in the fact that it makes work easier when there are many cuts through solid cables or wires. Less effort is required and you don't get tired as quickly. A cable cutter with a ratchet also ensures a clean cut, as it can cut through massive cross-sections and diameters without readjustment. Attempting to cut very thick cables with a pair of simple cable cutters would likely require multiple attempts. This would result in damage to the insulation and the inner conductors.Notice:Ratchet shears are not designed for very thin cables and wires. Due to the more complex cutting technology, the weight is slightly higher and handling is more cumbersome than with simple hand tools.In these cases, we recommend using a simple hand tool. Experience has shown that this works faster and more precisely.How do I choose the right cable shears?The selection of the optimal cable shears is mainly influenced by two things - the type of material to be cut and its thickness. There are cable cutters that process smaller diameters. Others are better suited for larger diameters. Once you have decided on a material thickness, choose a simple model, a corresponding tool with a ratchet function or a multi-function tool. TIP:Daily use of a cable cutter inevitably leads to wear and tear. In order not to have to buy a completely new tool, there are replacement cutting heads for some models. With this information, you should be able to choose a tool that suits your needs.Who makes the best cable cutters?The market leaders in the field of cable cutting technology include, for example, Cimco, Klauke and Knipex. But ABB, Erico, Intercable, Phoenix, WAGO, Weidmüller and Wiha also produce high-quality tools. You can find cable cutters from these manufacturers in this catalog from the eibabo® shop at top conditions.

Crimping tool - Tired of frayed cable ends? Would you like to securely attach cable lugs or ferrules so that your wires are permanently fixed in screw terminals or spring terminals? With the high-quality pressing tools from the eibabo® shop, well-functioning contact connections can be made in no time at all. Manual, battery-powered and electric, hydraulic or pneumatic crimping tools are in daily use and are part of the basic equipment of a good electrician. Even the private do-it-yourselfer achieves better results if the tools used are easy to use and precisely cut, strip or press. In this article, we will introduce you to the most important pressing tools and give tips on what to look out for when buying one. Here you will find numerous high-quality crimping pliers, cable lug pliers, notched pliers, contact crimping pliers and other crimping tools at top conditions. All products in the shop are often used by us and our partners for years and can be recommended without reservation.What is crimping?Most of the items presented here are special tools for performing a wide variety of activities. But they all have one thing in common: the tools create a connection between two components by plastically deforming them. This deformation can be caused by pressing, squeezing, piercing, flanging or folding and is referred to as 'crimping'. All of these tools are by definition crimping tools, although 'crimping pliers' are often referred to as a separate product group. We mainly use the term 'press tools'.What is the difference between pressing tools?Pressing tools are different devices that permanently connect two materials or components through deformation. One of the most common applications is attaching connectors to the end of electrical wires. But many pressing tools are multifunctional. Depending on the application, you can also bend, cut or strip materials with it. The tools are designed in such a way that they are suitable for specific cable diameters, conductor cross-sections or pipe sizes in order to guarantee secure connections. There is typically no provision for the connections to be released.The biggest difference between the individual pressing tools lies in the type of function or operation. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. When machining smaller components, for example, precision is often important. It is best to use a manually operated pressing tool here. When you need more power, hydraulic and electric models make your job easier.hand toolsManual devices are often small, light and intended for the tool case. These are in the form of pliers and are suitable for daily use on the construction site and for processing smaller components.Equipment for the workbenchBench tools are the opposite of manual tools. These are big and heavy and have power. Permanently mounted on the workbench, these can be operated electrically or manually with levers and rotary devices. Good to knowWith the manual and battery-operated devices from our shop, you are already optimally equipped for conventional electrical installations. More complex tools are more for commercial and industrial use. Electrical appliancesElectrically operated pressing tools are usually equipped with rechargeable batteries and do the work without much effort. Wired models are rare. Although these devices are not for the pocket, they are intended for mobile use on the construction site.Pneumatic pressing toolsPneumatically operated pressing tools require little effort. The compression force is provided by compressed air. These devices offer maximum performance and are suitable for demanding installations, repair services and maintenance work. Here we distinguish between small mobile devices and permanently installed models for the workshop.Hydraulic pressing toolsThese models are similar to the pneumatic variants. Here, too, there are mobile and fixed pressing tools. However, the compression force is provided by hydraulic fluid.The pliers for ferrulesA bare and unprotected wire end is not optimal for the connection with screw terminals, spring terminals or similar. This applies in particular to flexible strands, which consist of many thin wires. These ends will fray in screw terminals, become damaged, and lack the strength to be plugged into spring terminals. Wire-end ferrules were developed for this purpose, which give the wire a firm shape and improve the resistance of the wires to oxidation. This increases the longevity and reliability of a connection. A ferrule is a soft metal tube that is crimped onto the end of a stripped wire. Most ferrules are made of copper and are tinned, sometimes gold or silver plated. This serves to protect against corrosion. The diameter and length of a ferrule is determined by the thickness of the wire.NoticeFerrules are color coded for the maximum wire sizes. However, there are different, sometimes contradicting color codes. Please ensure the correct size to ensure secure connections.A ferrule is usually wider on one side to make it easier to put it on the wire. This side is covered with a plastic cable entry sleeve (protective collar). The protective collar serves as a transition between the core insulation and the ferrule. The ferrule pliers only crimp the copper part with the wire while leaving the plastic sleeve around the insulation undamaged.cable lug pliersIn addition to ferrules, cable lugs are often attached to the wires. Cable lugs are similar to ferrules. While a ferrule only encloses and protects the wire, cable lugs also have a special attachment option for the cable. This can be, for example:Ring Eyelets: The connection part consists of a flat contact surface and is in the form of an annular eyelet completely closed in a circle. There are versions with one hole or multiple holes. Cable lugs with multiple holes prevent rotation or movement of the cable lug.Clevis: The connecting portion of a fork is in the shape of a two-pronged fork. The connection point here is not a circular closed hole, but open on one side.Special shapes: There are cable lugs in special shapes, such as flat contact surfaces (with and without side guides) for sliding onto suitable mating contacts. TIP:Multifunction tools offer the option of changing the press inserts. Among other things, this allows you to process various wire-end ferrules and cable lugs with just one device. Choosing the right cable lug (and thus the choice of the correct cable lug pliers) also depends on the conductor class. You can find more information in the category 'cable lugs'.RJ45 crimping pliersRJ45 crimping pliers are specially designed for processing non-assembled network cables and telephone lines. The pliers are used to press the Western plug (RJ45) with the inserted wires of the cables. These pliers often have an integrated flat cable cutter and a possibility for stripping.Are there pressing tools for extremely thin wire cross-sections?Working with particularly thin cables does not forgive any mistakes. Problems can even arise with the classic manual press tools. For such requirements, use a press tool with a ratchet lock. This locking device in connection with an automatic cross-section adjustment controls the pressing process. Human errors are excluded and uniformly controlled pressing results are guaranteed.Can I squeeze wire ends with pliers?The pressing and squeezing of ferrules or cable lugs with conventional pliers is not recommended. You cannot produce a safe, clean and durable cold-weld joint with it. A bad crimping result means, for example, that the sleeve or the cable lug is loose and comes off. Air and moisture could enter the connection. Then corrosion occurs and the electrical conductivity would be impaired.Image: Klauke K 05 D pressing toolIsn't soldering much more stable than pressing?A proper press connection usually provides a stronger and more reliable connection than soldering. Soldered joints can break under certain circumstances, while pressed cable ends are significantly more robust. Press connections can be made more easily with cables and lines that have already been laid. Soldering in dark and hard-to-reach places is difficult.How do I release a press connection?It is not intended to release a press connection again. If you undo a press fit, the second try is unlikely to hold reliably. In these cases, shorten the cable or line and make a new press connection.Which pressing tools are the best?Professionals and ambitious do-it-yourselfers will find professional-quality crimping tools and tools for crimping, cutting and stripping at eibabo®. In addition to pressing tools of all kinds, we also have a wide range of accessories, spare parts and additional parts in our range.

Logic module - What is a KNX logic module and what options does the device offer when linking simple and highly complex functions? Why do we recommend logic modules as a useful addition to any KNX system? Find out here.KNX is the standard protocol for smart home and building automation. A system equipped with KNX technology enables you to control all connected devices in your household via a touch panel or remotely. The KNX technology is used not only in private homes or shops, but also in industrial buildings, hospitals, schools, high-rise buildings, universities, yachts and ferries and other facilities. The KNX automation system in residential or industrial buildings connects a large number of devices within the same facility. This allows information to be exchanged very quickly and maximizes efficiency in the workplace. There are hardly any limits to the size of a system and its complexity. KNX can be connected to different systems like BACnet, LON, LCN, RS485, LoRa, NB-IOT, Zigbee and others. This creates almost unlimited possibilities. Changes and extensions are possible at any time, quickly and inexpensively. The KNX automation makes our life more comfortable because it is:flexible - Almost all functions in the house can be controlled via KNX. Numerous brand manufacturers offer a wide variety of compatible devices.User-friendly - All electrical devices are easy to control. All control modules can be operated manually.safe and secure - the KNX system is not based on 230V, but on harmless 24-30 V. With the KNX Secure function, the system is particularly secure. With the KNX technology, the house, property and outbuildings can be controlled and monitored automatically. The use of additional control centers is not necessary. The KNX system fulfills a large number of functions, for example lighting, air conditioning and security systems. Work steps and daily routines are accelerated and the energy in our living space is used more efficiently. Easy installation:As series installation devices, logic modules are quickly clamped onto the DIN rail. The KNX connection is made using a special terminal. In order to create a perfect setup, numerous primary and secondary components can and must work together in a system. This includes KNX logic modules. These are always used when the installed KNX devices lack the necessary logic functions for specific tasks or higher-level central control and regulation tasks are required. As a modular installation device with a width of 1 to 2 modular widths, logic modules and scene modules/event modules also fit into small installations. An additional power supply is not necessary. The device draws its energy from the KNX system.What are KNX logic modules used for?KNX logic modules are a very useful and important addition to any KNX system. This means that additional functions can be reliably mapped. With the help of KNX logic modules, you can define a wide variety of dependencies and logically link group addresses. It is possible to implement simple and highly complex functions, from the alarm system to meter monitoring. You always remain decentralized and independent of central server components.Image: MDT SCN-LOG1.02 logic moduleKNX logic modules offer linking functions with:all common logic gates, filter functions, time functionsTime modules with comparison function and run-on timeconverters and multiplex modulesdelay blockslight scene modulesMonitoring functions of bus participantscomplex specific blind controlshour counterstemperature switches or temperature modulesConverters for converting telegramsSequencer modules for generating multiple telegramsand many more TIPEven if a KNX server/visualization is used, we recommend a KNX logic module for failure monitoring or for relevant functions that must be ensured in the event of a KNX server failure.You are still not sure what practical use logic modules have? We will show you with a very simple example:Suppose you have a small pond with a fountain on the patio of your house. Now you want the fountain to be running when you are home in the evening. The easiest would be to turn it on and off manually. No automation is used here. Using a timer is a bit more convenient. This means that the fountain runs in the evening after work, for example from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. However, this is not yet intelligently automated. If the fountain's power supply is connected to the KNX bus, you could set the switch-on time in the evening and let the fountain run until sunset. But what if you sit longer on your terrace at the weekend and don't want the fountain to switch off when the sun goes down. This is where the logic module comes into play. In addition to timing and sun control, you can now command the fountain to keep running as long as the patio lights are on.How are KNX logic modules programmed?The KNX logic module is usually parameterized via the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Complex KNX logic modules are processed using a simple graphic editor, which also enables laypersons to easily program and commission them. These logic modules often require free additional software/plug-in provided by the manufacturer.Are there different KNX logic modules?eibabo® has a large portfolio of KNX modules that are designed for a wide variety of tasks. These include KNX logic modules, KNX logic building blocks, KNX security modules, KNX application building blocks, KNX time building blocks, KNX logic controls, KNX link building blocks, KNX monitoring building blocks, KNX function modules, KNX scenes/event building blocks, KNX visualization servers and KNX logic controllers. When buying, make sure you choose high-quality goods from manufacturers such as ABB, Berker, Buderus, Busch-Jaeger, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten, Schneider-Electric or Siemens.

Antenna socket - Regardless of whether they are received via cable, satellite or terrestrial, radios and TV sets can be found in almost every household. And to establish a connection with the corresponding signal transmitter, one typically uses the classic antenna socket, which is actually present at least once in all modern apartments. Simple versions have the so-called Belling Lee socket for the television on the left and the Belling Lee socket for the radio on the right. More modern multimedia sockets can offer additional ports for connection. The well-known F-socket with the thread, which can be used for connecting a satellite receiver, for example, is widespread. Inexpensive antenna sockets with two, three or four connection options are available here in the eibabo online shop.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Antenna and satellite technique > Antenna socket you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:2-fold junction box2-way through socket3 hole through socket3-fold junction box4-fold junction box4-way through socketAntenna socketAntenna socket boxBK antenna socketBroadband socketData socketEnd socketEnd socket for antenna technologyFilter boxJunction boxLoop-through socketModem boxModem socketSAT double-pass socketSAT junction boxSAT pass-through socketSingle doseSingle/end boxSocket outletThrough socketTWIN branch socketTWIN end socketUniversal boxfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Antenna socket:Astro StrobelBerkerBusch JaegerE+P ElektrikElsoGiraHagerHirschmannHomewayJungKathreinKreilingLegrand BticinoMertenOBOPehaPROTEC.classSiemensSpaunTechniSatTehalitTelevesTriaxWisi

Front element push button - In times of digitized workflows and machine operation via touchscreen, pushbuttons and pushbuttons seem like a relic of bygone eras. But it is not without reason that this type of switch can still be found in many industrial applications today. Their application is intuitive, their function immediately obvious. And that is often a great advantage, especially in the area of plant and machine operation. With a single push of a button, an action is triggered, which also has an immediate effect on the corresponding process. In order to make the function or the importance of such a pushbutton clear, its front elements are colour-coded accordingly, vary in size or are even provided with corresponding signal lights. This allows priorities and functions to be defined within a complex control panel with multiple pushbuttons, which can be understood by the plant operator in a short time. You can get high-quality, robust and easy-to-use front elements for pushbuttons in your eibabo online shop.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Low-voltage industrial components > Front element for push button you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorButtonCommand deviceControl elementDual keyEmergency stop buttonEMERGENCY STOP command deviceFront elementFront element for push buttonHead pushbuttonIlluminated pushbuttonIlluminated pushbutton switchIlluminated switchLight switchMushroom buttonMushroom push-pull switchMushroom pushbuttonPendant controlPulse buttonPush buttonPush button front elementPush button signal lampPush button, completePush-buttonPushbuttonSlam switchSwitchSwitch buttonfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Front element push button:ABBCeagEaoEatonRockwellSchlegelSchmersalSchneider 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®. For example, for installation in the electrical distribution, then these carry the suffix 'REG' for series installation devices or as a flush-mounted version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as a built-in version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. However, additional protection must also be taken into account for built-in versions depending on the installation.
