What is KNX?
What is KNX?
The three letters “KNX” stands for:

…………………………………….
However….
●KNX is a bus system
●KNX is a world standard
●KNX brings building functions together
●KNX offers flexibility, safety, comfort and cost efficiency

Menu
4
Conventional installation
●Every function is realized with one or

more cables
●More functions = more cables
●Each function must be planned in detail
before installation
●If a function should be changed, the
physical installation has to be changed
●Each device is used for one function only
●Even low level interaction between
different functions become complex and
cost intensive

Menu
5
Bus installation
●Separation of information and energy

●Only one cable (the bus) for all
information = less control cables
●Functions depends on programming 230 V
= logical connections between inputs

Bus
and outputs replaces physical
connections
●Change of functions without touching
the installation is possible
●Multiple use of single devices
●Complex interaction between
different functions are easy

Menu
6
KNX – the world´s only open STANDARD
for home and building control
● European standard – EN 50090

● Worldwide standard – ISO/IEC 14543
● The KNX-system…
● is truly open and platform independent
● guarantees multi-vendor and cross-discipline
interoperability, ensured via certification
● is based on 15 years experience from the EIB
market and the EIB technology and extended
with additional media, configuration methods
and experience from BatiBUS and EHS
● Several thousands of products from over
hundred manufacturers are easily available

KNX components
Which components does the KNX-system
consist of?
●System components
– Components to build the communicating
network, e.g. power supply
●Sensors
– Receives an external command
– Transform it to KNX-information
– Sends the information as telegram on the bus
●Actuators
– Receives telegram from the bus
– Processes the information
– Execute the function

Menu
12
KNX – base components
Sensors
● Pushbuttons, thermostats, analogue

and digital inputs, timers, sensors for
wind, rain, light, heating, motion etc.
● Function => Sensors record

information like a simple switching or
environmental condition that is
transmitted to the bus in the form of a
data telegram.

Menu
13
Actuators
● Switch actuators, dimming actuators,

blind actuators, heating actuators,
visualisation
● Function => Actuators receive data

telegrams and convert these into e.g.
switching/dimming signals or even
visualise states.

Menu
14
ETS software
● The manufacturer independent

Engineering Tool Software enables to
project, commission, document and
diagnose a KNX installation.
● The device-function related application
programs are part of the free available
manufacturer product database. They are
loaded into the devices by the ETS via
the USB interface of a PC and the bus.
● Besides a onetime fee for the ETS-tool,
no additional costs for projecting and
commissioning will be charged.
● => By now more than 15.000 ETS-
licenses sold!

pipe as power cables / min 19 mm pipes
● Bus and power cable cores may be present in
the same installation box if the safety separation
of the bus and power cable cores in the
installation box is guaranteed by the installation.

Example of cable drawing in a private home
● All actuators are placed centralized in

the distribution board with cables going
to each consumer
● Sensors are placed decentralized and
bus cable is going from one sensor to
another

Menu
36
Individual address
● Each KNX-device receives a unique address

in the system via parameterization (ETS)
● The individual address provides the device
with a name, i.e. a number
● It is divided into Area, Line and Device
number: _ _ . _ _ . _ _ _
● Example:
Area Line Device
1.1.15
● The KNX device must be labelled with the

individual address when it has been
programmed by ETS
● The individual address is used for
programming and service

Menu
37
KNX operation and configuration
Necessary for design and commissioning
● Product database
Contains the application programs which
finally shall be downloaded into the
products.
For free at: www.schneider-electric.com
or PL@net (Schneider internal)
● ETS3 (Engineering Tool Software)
The tool to design and commission the
KNX-project. The product database must
first be imported into ETS.
Purchase at: www.knx.org
● KNX-products
When the design is finished the
configuration data are downloaded into
the products

Menu
39
Configuration steps
In the ETS
● Insertion of products in the project

● Assignment of individual addresses
(physical addresses) to the different
devices (for the unique identification of a
sensor or actuator in a KNX installation);
● Selection and setting (parameterization)
of the appropriate application software
for sensors and actuators
● Assignment of group addresses (for
linking the functions of sensors and
actuators).
● Download of the settings into the devices
Parameter settings of Switch actuator 4-gang with

current detection
Menu
40
Bus access and data exchange
● KNX is a decentralized and event-controlled

bus system, i.e. no central unit, and the bus
is idle (free) if nothing happens or changes
● All connected bus devices can exchange
data between each other, packed into
telegrams and sent over the bus (serial
transmission of “1” and “0”), e.g. from a
sensor (the command output) to one or more
actuators (the command receiver).
● CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access /
Collision Avoidance) is used for bus access
and collision handling
● Transmission rate: 9600 bit/s
● Average transmission time for sending and
confirmation of a telegram is approx. 25 ms

Energy Efficiency
The demand for energy efficiency
● Today there is a high demand for more energy efficient buildings

● The directive 2002-91-EC states that all countries in Europe should have
some kind of energy labelling on their buildings
● The standard EN 15232 defines what kind of functions are mandatory to
achieve an energy efficient building
● KNX is an easy way to accomplish energy efficiency
Classification of functions Example of classification of
buildings (France)

KNX history and
the KNX association
KNX history
● 1987 - The awareness that manufacturer specific and proprietary systems would
hinder a broad market penetration guided the leading manufacturers in electrical
installation techniques to the constitution of the INSTABUS-research and
development organization.
● (Founding members: Merten, Berker, Gira, Jung and Siemens)
● 1990 - Constitution of the EIBA (European Installation Bus Association) based in
Brussels to define technical guidelines, certification and awarding of the EIB
trademark, preparing of European and international standards (DIN VDE
0829 and EN 50090) and coordination of the EIBA-member activities.
● 1999 - Members of the following associations have founded the
KNX Association:
● BatiBUS Club International (BCI)

● Nowadays KNX is the first open world-standard for home and building
automation meeting European and International standards.
● Europe: CENELEC EN50090 + CEN EN 13321
● International: ISO/IEC 14543 + GB/Z 20965 Chinese Standard
+ ANSI/ASHRAE 135 US Standard

Menu
68
