New KNX Products

Sheet4Q is the solution for merging heterogeneous KNX networks via KNXnet/IP and coupling other protocols with KNX. This also works across properties. The previously supported protocols (ModBus, MQTT, HTTP, etc.) are extended to include BACnet. Data from all sources can be easily filtered, converted and linked together. In addition to the multi-protocol functionality, all fieldbus devices and IP devices can be monitored in future. Project planning via spreadsheet enables efficient and convenient commissioning through the use of formulas and macros.

At ACCORDIA we are happy to present the newest addition to our KNX certified cable range: A low fire hazard, two pair TP1 cable with CPR classification B2ca-s1,d1,a1. This cable is fully compliant with KNX specification and EN 50090 and is tested and certified by KNX Association in respect of its electrical, mechanical and environmental properties. Furthermore, it is CPR certified, achieving the highest Euroclass B2ca-s1,d1,a1. Therefore it is ideal for high fire risk installations, escape routes and wherever the best possible resistance to fire is required.

With just a 49mm diameter, the Faradite Motion Sensor 360 - KNX is a remarkably small KNX PIR sensor with a huge set of functions. The sensor is designed to provide a range of functions for both residential and commercial KNX installations alike.

The sensor can have up to 4 independent functions each with independent timeouts and configuration parameters. The range of functions each function can perform are: Switching, Dimming Value Transmitter, Scene, HVAC, Advanced (value transmitting including RGB) and Constant light control.

The Constant light control feature (daylight harvesting) ensures a set brightness / lux level is achieved by dynamically dimming the lighting in the room. The Faradite Motion Sensor 360 - KNX also allows for the brightness setpoint to be set via group object. A standby dimming level can be also be set.

Day / Night modes are available for each of the 4 independent functions allowing each to perform differently during day and night, with different timeouts if required.

Also, the master / slave functionality allows KNX installers to expand the detection capabilities of the PIR.

Advanced push button input functionality allows users to manually interact with the motion sensor by extending timeouts, blocking the sensor and more.

Also, a finely tuned internal brightness sensor accurately measures the Lux level in the room (external brightness group object available) no matter the light source, meaning fluorescent lamps, LEDs or halogen/incandescent lamps can all be accurately measured.

4 operating modes allow various levels of automation to be configured meaning the sensor can be configured as fully automatic (Auto on / off), absence (manual on, auto off), presence (auto on, manual off) or fully manual (manual on, manual off).

Long motion detection can be configured (separately across each function if required) to trigger different actions depending on the length of time a person is detected. E.g. lights may come on instantly when motion is detected, but using long presence detection on the second function for HVAC control can mean the Air conditioning is only turned to comfort mode if motion is detected multiple times in a set length of time.

There are a range of powerful diagnostic tools available for the KNX integrator including a visual LED for detection validation, simple test modes for validating performance and a heartbeat mode to monitor devices KNX bus connection.

The latest ETS .knxprod file can be downloaded in ETS using the online catalogue. This product can only be used with ETS5 and ETS6.

CUBIK-TLR, the vertical and capacitive touch button with 8 customizable gangs and in-built thermostat, now supports manual fan speed control. This new feature has been added to already supported controls like on/off, set point through a circular slider with LED indicators or function mode for cooling/heating. Thanks to the built-in humidity sensor, it is also possible to define dew point measurement according to relative humidity and temperature. Like rest of CUBIK push buttons and thermostats family, it is also possible to customize 100% the frontal glass, having the option to define icons, labels, logos, etc. via the online tool https://cubik.besknx.com/.

BX-RO16/24 is a 16/24-channel multifunctional actuator for DIN rail mounting for independent switching of loads using dry contacts. The output switching can also be managed by the buttons located on the front panel. A green LED indicates the channel status. It is equipped with 16 A bistable relays with contacts connected directly to the terminals, with no phase sharing. The screw terminals can accommodate cable sections up to 5mm². The relays used can withstand an inrush current of up to 320A in the first 2MS, therefore they are particularly suitable for driving inductive loads typical of fluorescent or neon lamps.
