Introduction

With conventional electrical installations,you have to determine in advance how and

where your buildings switching systems

will be installed, before construction even

commences. But with KNX from Schneider

Electric, you can keep your options open.

Thats because everything in the system can

be changed or extended at any time without

the usual mess and without laying new cables.

In addition, all building technology devices andinstallations are connected via a single bus

line. The bus line is laid in parallel to the 230V

power supply. When you activate a sensor (for

example, a push-button), an actuator (e.g.

the roller shutter control) will carry out all the

switching commands required.

Simple, intelligent, proven

Benefits of the system

Considering that most buildings are designed for use over severaldecades, its inevitable that, sooner or later, the uses to which its rooms

are put will change. The obvious solution: building functions which can

be adapted to the needs of the user easily and cost-effectively, without

tearing open walls and laying new cables.

Flexibility

Not only the one-off construction costs, but also the subsequent

running costs are decisive in ensuring the cost efficiency of an

investment of this kind. The following applies: the greater the flexibilitywith which building technology can react to new demands and be

adapted to technical innovations, the greater its value for money. And

when a growing environmental consciousness and increasing energy

costs are taken into account, it is becoming even clearer that building

management must also incorporate intelligent solutions for energy

efficiency as well.

Cost efficiency

Everyone nowadays expects more comfort and convenience in their

working lives. A modern electrical installation that can be operated

conveniently, simply and comfortably makes living and working just that

much easier.

Comfort

If a building is to be as safe as possible, building technology must be

able to react quickly and intelligently in critical situations, whether

someone is on the premises or not. Given the extent and range of

these different requirements, conventional electrical installations soon

reach the limits of their capabilities. They can only do so much. Asa result, adapting the use to which parts of the building are put can

quickly prove costly, and coordinating the functioning of the different

buildings is a major undertaking.

Safety and security

System principle

The concept of KNX System has started during the 1990s, and nowfully meets the International Standard ISO/IEC14543-3. In 2007, it

has also been approved to China HBES International GB/Z 20965-

2007. This system uses KNX bus to connect all components, each

working separately, and can also monitor and control in a centralized

way through the central workstation. The programmed components

can independently perform functions like activation and deactivation,

control, and monitoring. They can also be combined in different ways

in order to flexibly change functions without increasing the number of

components.

KNX System

3

KNX consists of a twisted-pair bus line and bus-compatible installation

devices such as sensors, actuators and system components, that are

connected to it.

Sensors record information that is transmitted to the bus in the form of

a data telegram. Sensors are e.g. KNX push-buttons and binary inputs

for connecting floating contacts.

Actuators receive data telegrams and convert these into switching or

dimming signals.

System devices and components are required for the basic system

functionality. They consist essentially of power supply units for

generating bus voltage, couplers for connecting bus segments and

interfaces for connecting programming devices.

Both power for the bus device electronics and information are

transmitted via the twin-core bus line. The bus line leads to every bus

device. As a rule, sensors require only the bus line. Actuators usually also

need the 230/400 V mains supply for controlling loads. Bus line and

mains supply are separated strictly from each other.

Functional principle



Sensors

4

Sensors and actuators are selected dependingon the required application and consist of a

bus coupler and an application module with

the corresponding application program.

The application programs are part of the

Schneider Electric product database. They

are loaded into the devices together with the

projecting and operational software ETS via a

PC serial or USB or Ethernet interface.

KNX is a decentralised bus system. Every

KNX device has its own microcontroller. The

devices can exchange information directly, i.e.

without a central unit, using the serial bus. Alldevices are equal bus devices (multi-master

operation). To avoid telegram collision and the

destruction of data, the CSMA/CA procedure

is used.

KNX is operated using low-voltage SELV. The

bus voltage is DC 24 V (+6/-4 V). When the

voltage is below 20V the devices power off

from the bus. The data transmission speed

is 9.6 kbit/s, so terminating resistors are not

required.

System propertiesType of units

Components to build the communicating

network, e.g. power supply

System components perform the operation of

the whole system, such as the power supply

module.

Sensors are used to detect the operation

of switches in buildings, signal changes like

light, temperature, and humidity. Sensors use

smart PIR sensing panels, light perception and

temperature panels, etc.

- Receive an external command

- Transform it to KNX-information

- Send the information as telegram

E.g. push-buttons, movement detectors

The bus components are divided into three categories:

System Devices

Sensors

Drivers are used to receive the signal

transmitted by sensors and carry out the

operations such as: turning on/off a device,

adjusting the brightness of lights, opening/

closing the curtains, the air-conditioning, etc

- Receive telegram from the bus

- Process the information

- Execute the function

System propertiesSystem structure

The smallest structure of

the system is called line, on

which a maximum of 64

components can operate.

Each line requires an

appropriate Power Supply

Unit with choke (PSU).

If more than 1 line is to be

used, then up to 15 lines

can be connected to a main

line via a Line Coupler (LC).

This is called area. Each line,

including the main line, must

have its own power supply

unit. Therefore, an area

can connect 15 x 64 bus

components.

The installation bus can

be expanded by means

of a backbone line. The

Backbone Coupler (BC)connects its area to the

backbone line. Main and

area lines also require a

power supply with choke.

15 areas can connect

15 x 15 x 64 bus

components.

Max. continuous current 2.5A (short circuit and overload protection required)

Voice transmission is allowed, but not for public telephone lines

Avoid confusing them with cores assigned by KNX

The KNX devices are connected in parallel using the red/black core pair of the bus line with the

help of bus connecting terminals. Up to four bus cable pairs (red and black) can be connected

to each bus connecting terminal. The bus connecting terminal (art. no. MTN680204) can alsobe used as a junction terminal in the switch terminal boxes. Make sure that the polarity is correct

when installing.

System propertiesAddressing

KNX addressing distinguishes between physical addresses and group

addresses. The physical address is the name of the bus device and is

written in the form Area . Line . Device (e.g. 5.4.23).

The group address determines the assignment of the bus devices to

each other. Apart from servicing and programming procedures, a device

is always addressed using its group address(es).

The group address is divided into up to 16 main groups each with 8

middle groups and 256 subgroups. It is written in the form Main group /

Middle group / Subgroup (e.g. 1/1/127).

KNX Main line



Building automation connection

There are three kinds of connection methodsbetween KNX system and BA system:

1. Connection through input/output modules

and an interface signal.

2. Connection through a RS232 interface.

3. Connection through an OPC Server.

The following are the specific methods:

Connection through input/output modules

and an interface signals:

The interface signals can be 230V AC, 24V

AC/DC active contact signal or interference

spot signal. This method is the easiest one with

the lowest cost, but its functions are simple

and allow controlling only few modules.

Module Model No.:

Input module:

MTN644492, Binary input REG-K/4x10

MTN644592, Binary input REG-K/8x10MTN644892, Binary input REG-K/4x24




Output module:

MTN649202, Switch actuator REG-

K/2x230/10 with manual mode




K/8x230/10 with manual modeMTN649212, Switch actuator REG-


Connection through a RS232 interface:

KNX system can be connected to the BA

system through RS232 standard interface

with the KNX Standard Interface Protocol. The

application software can be self-explored by

the integrators of BA system. This method

can fully connect Schneider KNX system with

BA system, but requires integrators of BA

system to have adequate software exploration

capability. RS232 interface model No.:

MTN681119, wall mounting, equipped with

MTN690099 bus LC, or MTN681929, din railmounting.

Connection through an OPC Server:

1. The OPC Server adopting the TCP/IP

Protocol can communicate with BA system

in OPC mode. This method can realize

a realtime and full connection between

KNX system and BA system. BA system

integrators can adopt standard method

to explore central-control application

software. Exploration is relatively simple andexploration span is short.

2. Software OPC Server: Computers equipped

with OPC Server are connected with KNX

system through RS232 interface. BA system

can access Server in OPC method. This

method has a relatively low cost.

3. KNX adapters provide data in forms of

RS232, USB and Ethernet interfaces.

Connection Method of KNX system and BA System



1. KNX bus is a 24V signal wire. It can bepiped separately or be laid in parallel with

strong tubes.

2. All KNX panels and actuator components

should be connected with standard KNX

cable, which is provided by manufacturers.

3. There are various forms of KNX connection

structures, including star-shaped, ring-

shaped, bus type, network type, etc. They

can also be used simultaneously and the

only thing to do is to connect KNX Busto all the panels. Specific connection

methods should be considered and chosen

according to many factors, the convenience

of construction and limitations of specific

structures.

4. If two or more KNX signal wires are needed,

they should be connected through the

bus connector or additionally purchased

connector on the KNX smart panel. Each

connector consists of two connectors, a

red + and a dark grey -. Each component

contains 4 connectors applicable to solidconductors (Diameter: 0.6-0.8mm).

5. In field construction, a KNX cable should

be reserved in the base plate of panels and

sensors. When the equipment is installed,

cut the cable and connect it to the

connector of the KNX equipment.

6. All KNX controlled power control lines of

lighting and electric equipments must be

connected to a specific KNX distribution

box. And every line must be marked withcircuit No. or with its type, district, live wire,

neutral wire and earth wire of circuit lighting

directly strictly according to construction

drawings.

7. All curtain control lines must be piped orbridged, and connected to a specific KNX

distribution box; and every line must be

marked with circuit No. or with its type,

district strictly according to construction

drawings; in addition, up/down or on/off

signal lines, common wire and earth wire of

curtains should also be marked out.

8. All fan coil control lines must be piped or

bridged, and connected to a specific KNX

distribution box; and every line must be

marked with circuit No. or with its type,district strictly according to construction

drawings; in addition, speed1, speed2 and

speed3 wind speed control signal wires,

common wires, earth wires, and control

signal wires of cold/hot butterfly valves

should also be marked clearly.

9. Other electric equipments connected to

the KNX system and all outer sensors (such

as infrared alarm detector or glimmer

sensor, etc.) should all be marked with its

line type and district. The above marking

requirements for control lines are mainlyaimed at facilitating the programming of

KNX system and later system maintenance

and electric circuit repairing.

Installation detail



1. KNX distribution box and electricaldistribution box can be used simultaneously

or another KNX electric box can be laid

according to the owners needs and

construction requirements. The size of KNX

distribution box is decided according to the

equipment capacity of KNX actuators and

the number of open air circuit breakers.

2. In the KNX distribution box, the incoming

line hole of KNX signal lines should be

strictly separated from control signal lines

of electric equipments. The most idealsituation is that KNX cable and the power

control line are mounted on the left and

right or at the upside and downside.

3. Most of KNX actuator equipments aremounted with the DIN guiding rail mounting

method, with its height and thickness

equaling that of common open air circuit

breakers. Because the output end of the

KNX actuator needs to be connected to

a large number of control lines of electric

equipments. The distance between every

two guiding rails should be less than

160mm.

4. The specific size of all KNX actuators can

be decided according to type selection list.

1. Common KNX smart panels are mounted

according to the European Standard 80

plate box (normal 86 plate box is also

applicable), and no more equipment is

needed. Due to the convenience andappearance, the assorted 80 plate box is

suggested to be mounted.

2. If 2 or more smart control panels need

to be mounted in parallel, and over two

TRANCENT glass plates need to be

mounted, specific assorted 80 plate box is

suggested to be used. In this way, smart on/

off base plate can be perfectly incorporated

with the panel and the frame in order to

reach a better effect.

3. If designers dont have any special

requirement, the mounting height of KNX

panels should all be 1,300mm higher than

the floor (the height between the lower

edge of the frame and the floor).

4. Pay attention to the mounting of the

ceiling-mounted sensor and the light

sensing sensor. The two sensors should not

be mounted under the lighting to prevent

wrong operations of sensors at nights due

to direct illumination.
