The KNX Automation Installations in Buildings Application, "AEL-KNX", designed by EDIBON, provides students, teachers and automation professionals with a unique opportunity to enter the world of KNX building automation project development, interconnection of KNX devices and programming with the ETS software tool. From basic electrical connections to advanced programming, users trained with this application will gain crucial practical and theoretical skills for project design and maintenance of automation systems.
The relevance of KNX in building automation is undeniable. For this reason, using the "AEL-KNX" application, it will be possible to carry out from the precise control of lighting, air conditioning, security, shutter control, etc. to the complete management of buildings through a Building Management System (BMS).
We have multiple KNX modules strategically grouped together to study the different solutions that are applied in real automation installations. For this reason, various configurations are recommended based on technical and teaching requirements. The minimum supply consists of two main elements: the AEL-KNX Base Unit, "AEL-KNX-UB," and at least one of the required elements of the AEL-KNX Base Unit, "AEL-KNX-UB."
The AEL-KNX Base Unit, "AEL-KNX-UB," includes the following elements:
- N-KNX34. USB KNX/EIB Programming Interface Module.
- N-KNX18. KNX/EIB Power Supply Module.
- N-KNX4. KNX/EIB Binary Input Module.
- N-KNX5. KNX/EIB Binary Output Module. (2 units).
- N-KNX30. KNX/EIB Touch Panel Module.
- N-KNX35. KNX/EIB Infrared Transmitter/Receiver Module.
- MED65. Digital Multimeter.
