The new animeo <strong>KNX</strong> 4 AC Motor<br />
Controller by Somfy is designed for Wago<br />
Winsta plug-in connectors. The Motor<br />
Controller is suitable for on-wall installation<br />
and can control four individually parameterable<br />
motors. Eight local push-button<br />
inputs can be used as <strong>KNX</strong> binary inputs,<br />
thus enabling universal functions such as<br />
´Venetian blinds´, ´switch´, ´dim´, or ´send<br />
value´. In addition, with the <strong>KNX</strong> radio<br />
receiver, the room brightness can be set<br />
exactly with a scroll wheel, e.g. switching<br />
and dimming according to individual user<br />
wishes. The Motor Controller can also be<br />
easily combined with with the new Somfy<br />
sun protection central control, animeo<br />
<strong>KNX</strong> Master Control.<br />

Access to the KIMaip from your application<br />
controller is achieved via simple<br />
bi-directional 2-wire bus (I2C). The KI-<br />
Maip module, based on their successful<br />
technology platform KAI, consists of a<br />
microcontroller running KAIstack, the<br />
certified <strong>KNX</strong> communication stack and<br />
KAIphys the high performance <strong>KNX</strong> interface.<br />
KIMaip may supply energy to the<br />
application controller and your hardware<br />
(max. 0,4W). KIMaip reduces time-tomarket<br />
by making it easy to implement<br />
<strong>KNX</strong> functionality. A further advantage<br />
is the free generic database. Of course<br />
an evaluation kit is available.<br />

The Theben <strong>KNX</strong> OT box connects the<br />
OT BUS commonly available with gas<br />
terms to the <strong>KNX</strong> BUS. The interface can<br />
be used as the master for the OpenTherm<br />
heater in combination with a <strong>KNX</strong> individual<br />
room control. At the same time,<br />
it is possible to issue OT box commands<br />
for boiler control to the boiler control<br />
via the <strong>KNX</strong>. A new feature is the ability<br />
to not only run pilot room control but<br />
also maximize feed as required involving<br />
all rooms. Heating service water with a<br />
solar power system is equally efficient<br />
as the amount of sunshine expected<br />
according to weather forecasts can be<br />
taken into account.<br />

7" Touch with visualisation! The new<br />
T2M2 Touch with 7 " TFT and the already<br />
integrated visualization EisBär CE offers<br />
an excellent price-performance. It could<br />
be connected to the Bus with a standard<br />
<strong>KNX</strong>-IP Interface (external). Power<br />
supply 110-230V (internally). With the<br />
visualization EisBär CE you can design<br />
up to 10 pages and 500 components with<br />
all necessary functions. Button switch,<br />
image switch, controller, touch-point<br />
input, background graphics, web browser,<br />
graphical logic, sequences and light scenes<br />
are just some of many possibilities. Of<br />
course, with low power consumption.<br />

With the iBiento, tci demonstrates today<br />
how future concepts with comfort and safety<br />
functions can be implemented – from<br />
operating functions in the home area and<br />
audio and lighting control in conference<br />
rooms up to extensive comfort services<br />
in hotel rooms. The PC-based system<br />
has a power-saving Intel Atom CPU<br />
and runs on Windows 7. A wide range<br />
of application software allows flexible<br />
configurations according to individual<br />
specifications. The user friendly 9 inch<br />
multi touch display permits an extra<br />
comfortable multi-finger operation. The<br />
iBiento combines these possible applications<br />
with a timeless, elegant design and<br />
maximum energy efficiency.<br />

The ThebenHTS PlanoCentro <strong>KNX</strong><br />
presence detector is designed to fit almost<br />
flush into suspended or prepared<br />
concrete ceilings. The square frame<br />
around the product is available in various<br />
colours, sizes and materials to suit every<br />
type of architecture. The PlanoCentro<br />
has a highly sensitive square detection<br />
area, which covers up to 100 m², meeting<br />
the needs of energy-efficient lighting and<br />
HVAC control. PlanoCentro controls<br />
switching or constant-light control with<br />
standby function for two light channels as<br />
well as scene setting. Parameters can be<br />
adjusted via bus object or can be optimised<br />
and read via the optional remote control.<br />
