What is KNX stands for?

KNX is a network standard, basically OSI-based network communications protocol which is extensively designed and developed for building/home automation. KNX is an abbreviation for the word Konnex. KNX is based on three technologies: EIB (European Installation Bus), EHS (European Home Systems Protocol) and BatiBUS.

What is KNX cable used for?

KNX is an open standard (see EN 50090, ISO/IEC 14543) for commercial and domestic building automation. KNX devices can manage lighting, blinds and shutters, HVAC, security systems, energy management, audio video, white goods, displays, remote control, etc.

What is the difference between KNX and Dali?

KNX offers the same functionality as DALI systems but without the need to individually address each Light fixture meaning a huge cost saving in absence of specialist ballasts per fitting. Instead KNX focuses on the inputs (Switches, Sensors, Thermostats) and controls the corresponding outputs as banks of fittings.

What is KNX lighting control system?

KNX are devices that measure the lighting levels (lux) and are used to influence lights in order to, for example, apply a constant type control. This type of control adjusts the lighting strengths to the lights following compensation criteria according to the light coming in from outside.

Who started KNX?

Did you know that the KNX system was founded by Gira, in partnership with other electronics manufacturers? This year, the global Smart Home standard turns 30 – and still draws new manufacturers.

Is KNX slow?

One of the most used figures in this debate is the relatively slow baud rate that KNX employs (9600bps) and the fact that newer systems can communicate at many thousands of times this rate.

Is KNX any good?

KNX networks are very robust and offer exceptional performance. They can be installed in virtually any building – from a single family home or apartment to a large complex with multiple tenants. KNX can also be used to take your Smart Home functionality outdoors.

Is KNX compatible with DALI?

DALI is well known as a commercial lighting control protocol that works perfectly with KNX. If more than 64 lamps are required then multiple universes can be connected together with KNX being used as the backbone. To keep bus traffic light it is advised that sensors and other input devices are placed on the KNX bus.

How can I learn KNX?

1. Step 1: Learn the basics with the online ETS eCampus.
2. Step 2: Configure your virtual smart home device with KNX Virtual.
3. Step 3: Extend your KNX knowledge with online KNX Webinars.
4. Step 4: Become a certified KNX Partner.
5. Step 5: KNX Literature.

Is KNX future proof?

The KNX system is also an expandable system with a future-proof standard. This means any KNX system can be expanded or reprogrammed with ease when upgrades to the system are needed or wanted.

How does KNX system work?

KNX is a wired system. The KNX bus is routed in parallel to the electrical power supply to all devices and systems on the network. All of the various building technology elements are then connected to one another via the main KNX bus line in accordance with the KNX standard for building automation.
