Being able to automatically control your building not only adds flexibility to building man- agement, it has a positive effect on efficiency, security and productivity too. With products and services such as movement detectors, harmoni- ous lighting, door communication, automated heating, air-conditioning, ventilation and shutter management, ABB offers a range of possibilities to put building control firmly into your hands. Everything under control, wherever you want it. There’s more to making buildings smarter than just remotely controlling room temperatures or automatically controlling lighting. A fully inte- grated system not only offers you convenience, it also makes your buildings more secure, more energy efficient and will save you money. What’s more, ABB Ability™ software gives you a com- plete overview of your smart buildings from any- where, at any time. Wherever energy comes from, it goes to the right place. Electricity is a commodity you don’t always appreciate until it’s suddenly not there. At ABB it’s our mission to supply you with the electricity you need, the moment you need it – such as when plugging in an appliance or turning on a switch. We take high-voltage energy from the source of generation and transmit it instantly to the busi- ness or home where it will be used. The best solution is, keeping all the factors in view. The first step in managing your building’s energy is to understand exactly how much you use and where you use it. With this information at hand, you can highlight areas for improvement, which in turn will help you become more efficient and ultimately save money. ABB metering devices connect with your building’s automation system and intelligently acquire, store and analyse this in- formation to drive efficiency for the long term. 1 — Smarter Solutions for Home and Building Automation ABB i-bus® KNX Product Range Overview 2019 myABB-Buildingsportal 2 ABB i-bus® KNX 6 Overview 6 Power Supply 8 System Infrastructure and Interfacing 13 Connection and Wiring 18 Multifunction Room Automation 20 Inputs 29 Outputs 35 Shading Control 41 Lighting Control 48 Movement and Presence Detection 62 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning 70 Automation, Logic and Time Control 93 Visualisation, Display and Signalling 97 Energy Management 106 Safety and Monitoring 112 Security 113 Guest Room Management 132 User Operation – Design Ranges 140 Unique diversity of the range 140 Functional Overview 142 ABB-tacteo 158 Busch-priOn® 172 ClimaECO Sensors 183 Standard Control Elements 188 Multifunction Control Elements 190 Movement Detectors 194 Room Thermostats 196 Frames 197 Busch-triton® 204 Push Button Coupling Unit 209 Millenium 228 Zenit 234 Mylos 244 WaveLINE Wireless Control 262 Overview 262 Transmitter 264 Actuators, RF/ KNX Media Converters 267 You may also visit our KNX website: Window Sensor, Universal Detector 269 Selection Tables 273 Selection Table According to Order Code 274 Selection Table According to Type 288 2 PRODUCT RANGE OVERVIEW 2019 2CDC500098C0205 CONNECTIVITY Shaping the future of the digital world today requires fully automated solutions that can be networked with all other intelligent devices. 3 CONNECTIVITY — Powerful digital solutions in a single portfolio CONNECTIVITY MyBuildings portal powered by ABB AbilityTM Controlling and planning smart build- You may also visit our MyBuildings ings is now easier than ever: ABB bun- portal under mybuildings.abb.com: dles its digital services for Smarter Home and Building in the MyBuildings portal (formerly my.abb-livingspace. com) under the ABB Ability umbrella.

  • Maintenance and Decoding of Field Buses
    MAINTENANCE AND DECODING OF FIELD BUSES Today, most of the electrical appliances that we use include internal electronics. These circuits often need to communicate via data buses, either with ancillary systems, such Maintenance as remote sensors, or with control systems. This is particularly true in industry, where a single PLC remotely manages multiple sensors and actuators. Formerly, communication with these buses took place via an analogue signal using the “4-20 mA” network. This communication mode had many disadvantages, including Measurements the need for extensive equipment and complex wiring, thus increasing the time required for installation. For this reason, digital communication standards have been developed and are now widely used to avoid these problems. “Fieldbus” is a general term which corresponds to a method of communication between different systems. There are many standards: those specific to manufacturers Analysis and those standardized according to the equipment involved. Here are a few examples of fieldbuses used in different sectors of activity: Diagnostics The example of the automotive sector The new means of intra-system communication have allowed This provides numerous advantages: developments in the systems. The most obvious example is in the • less wiring automotive industry. In this sector, with the development of safety and • lower production costs due to savings on equipment analysis systems such as airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and • easier maintenance as there is only one communication channel electronic stability programs (ESP), the number of sensors and actuators on vehicles is constantly increasing.

  • VT7600E Indoor Air Quality Controller
    VT7600E Indoor Air Quality Controller It is not uncommon for most of us to spend up to 90% of our time indoors. A large portion of that time is often dedicated to a working environment in a commercial building. Studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) show that indoor air can contain levels of pollutants that are actually higher than levels typically found outdoors. In light of this, indoor air quality has become a major concern to businesses, building managers, tenants, and employees because of its direct impact on the comfort, well-being, and productivity of the building’s occupants. Not all buildings have severe indoor air-quality issues, yet even well-run buildings can experience episodes of poor indoor air quality. The Viconics VT7600E Indoor Air Quality Controller (IAQ), along with your VT7600E Indoor Air Quality preferred CO2 sensor, is a cost-effective solution that is capable of controlling Controller with (PIR) Motion Sensor economizer-free cooling and IAQ demand-based ventilation strategy while providing a fresh air measurement input right out of the box. The Viconics IAQ Controller replaces the need for custom programmed DDC controllers and sensors in order to achieve the same results as in the past. When connected to a building automation system, the Viconics IAQ Controller can monitor and verify the CO2 and fresh air levels, ensuring that air quality and energy efficiency is optimized. While primarily designed for use in small to midsized commercial building applications such as office buildings or schools, the Viconics IAQ Controller can be installed in any other building type currently using a standard packaged rooftop or heat pump unit with a requirement for fresh air control.

  • Guide for Commissioning and Periodic Performance Testing of Fire, Smoke and Other Life Safety Related Dampers
    Guide for Commissioning and Periodic Performance Testing of Fire, Smoke and Other Life Safety Related Dampers Purpose Fire Dampers, Smoke Dampers, Combination Fire Smoke Dampers, Ceiling Radiation Dampers, and other types of Dampers that perform as part of a building’s Fire Protection or Life-Safety System must function properly during a fire or life-safety emergency. Proper installation and periodic performance testing are required to ensure these dampers function as intended in a fire emergency. The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations for the proper commissioning of Fire and Life Safety Related Dampers and to describe the appropriate intervals and methods for performing periodic performance testing of these dampers. Background Life Safety Dampers are designed to perform a number of functions in a building’s HVAC, Fire and/or Smoke Control System and are an integral part of the overall life-safety system within the building. Generally, Fire Dampers are designed to close and prevent the spread of fire through an opening in a fire resistive barrier. Ceiling Radiation Dampers are designed to close and reduce the transfer of heat through an opening in the ceiling membrane of floor-ceiling or roof-ceiling assembly. Refer to the specified ceiling design for details regarding penetrations. Smoke Dampers operate to prevent the spread of smoke by closing to stop airflow or by opening to exhaust smoke. They can also be opened or closed to create pressure differences (as in an engineered smoke control system) to reduce the spread of smoke. Combination Fire Smoke Dampers perform the dual role of both Fire Dampers and Smoke Dampers.
