KNX FOUNDED AND STANDARD MERGE

The EIBA (European Installation Bus Association) has been renamed as the KNX Association. This is a result of the pooling of resouces of EIB, BatiBUS and EHS into one single organisation to promote the world’s first open standard for home and building control.

ETS COMPATABILITY SIMPLIFIES KNX INSTALLATIONS

ETS, the software which designs and configures KNX (formerly EIB) intelligent building control installations, is now available in different versions.  All KNX products, from the hundreds of worldwide KNX manufacturers, can be imported into an installation using the same ETS tool.  This compatibility ensures specifiers and building owners can create and expand KNX based installations   simply and with minimal disruption.

KNX is the world’s first open, platform independent standard for home and building control, approved as EN 50090.  Intelligent building projects of any size can be created using KNX to provide control over many areas from lighting control, heating and ventilation, through to energy management, access control and many other building services. They can also be accessed remotely for maintenance and can interface with complementary or peripheral systems.

The ETS3 Professional tool, which also complies with EN50090, supports KNX system design, commissioning, project documentation, diagnostics and trouble-shooting. Starter and Tester and Starter versions are also available – Tester incorporates learning programs whilst Starter provides more basic functionality than Professional.
