Using bus technology provides a series of benefits over conventional installation practices, as mentioned below.
Scaleable
tebis KNX provides the technical infrastructure to change and evolve, allowing for expansion or change of use.
With smart building system technology, functional changes cause relatively little additional expenditure during the construction and installation phases.
Energy Control
tebis KNX offers the technology to realise true energy savings through automation.
Maximum energy savings are achieved where the system controls digital lighting and heating.
Configuring the system for both automatic switching of lighting/heating plus predetermined timed settings is simplicity itself.
Future Proofing
tebis KNX is compatible with any brand, design or finish of wall switch and accessory.
Each input device can control any one or several outputs and can be modified at any time using the remote control programming tool.
RF products can be used along side wired devices, so that the system can be expanded without running new cable and changes can be made with ease.
Install & Commissioning
Minimal cabling is involved when installing a bus system.
It can consist of a single twisted pair cable or bus line, a series of RF devices communicating with each other, or a mix of both.
For long cable runs it is more cost effective to use a data cable over power cables to achieve the switching commands.
Data cabling configurations can be of radial, star or tree types.
