KNX/EIB Smart automation home/building  KNX - 4-Fold Universal Interface

 Product and functional overview

The Universal Interfaces achieve the functional applications via conventional push buttons/switches, communicate by technical binary, which are used to control the devices such as the Dimmer Actuator/the Relay Actuator, to control domestic appliance indirectly. At the same time, they also enable the control of LEDs. The extremely compact design enables the device to be inserted in a conventional 60 mm wiring box.

The Universal Interfaces connect to the bus though the EIB connection terminals and have no use for additional supply voltage. It is available to assign the physical address and set the parameters by Engineering design tools ETS with VD2/VD3 (higher than edition ETS2v1.3).It is able to install VD3 file if use ETS3 software.

The Universal Interfaces have many functions that can be used in a wide variety of application areas. The following list provides an overview:

²  Switching and dimming function.

²  Control of blinds and shutters.

²  Sending of values e.g. temperature values,water line.

²  Invocate and storing of scenes.

²  Trigger an LED for reporting an operation.

²  Operation of various loads by multiple push button actions.

²  Operation of several loads in a fixed switching sequence.

²  Standard counting and differential counting.

Each channel of a device can adopt any of the functions described above.

2. Technical data

  In 2008, GVS started developing the KNX/EIB lighting control products from scratch in the wake of becoming KNX member strategically, which offered a new era for the company to step into the intelligent building control system industry. As a result, GVS rapidly delivered a vast range of products basing on KNX/EIB technology, whose expertise covers area of building control including lighting dimmer, lighting switching, shutter controlling, multi-protocol gateway, intelligent sensing, user interface etc.
