    EN CATALOG HOME AUTOMATION New technologies are part of our lives, tomorrow even more than today! Home automation is not an exception. The innovations of recent years have now become virtually indispensable. You will soon notice this once velbus has been installed in your home. The possibilities of velbus home automation are almost endless. You can trigger multiple functions with one tap on the button. You can program the buttons according to your wishes. Use your smartphone, tablet or computer to control your home lighting, heating, cooling, blinds and sunscreens from wherever you want. The future home is now within your reach. Use velbus to equip your home with the latest developments in terms of comfort, energy savings and ease. For velbus is endlessly expandable, now and in the future. velbus home automation: not a luxury but a way of life. 2018 - 2019 - version 1 2 ABOUT VELBUS 6 DISCOVER VELBUS 12 PRODUCTS 28 REFERENCES 30 PRODUCT LIST About velbus velbus is a modular system velbus is modular Every velbus module has its own processor and memory. This means you do not need to install a central control unit. This also prevents your entire home automation system from being blocked by a central unit failure. As the velbus system does not require any master controller, you will only pay for the modules you really need. If you want to automate additional shutters, lighting points, dimmers, etc., you need only buy the extra modules. New modules will always be compatible with the existing range. velbus is a bus system This means that you will only need a four-wire bus cable to connect the modules: two wires for power, two wires for data.

PLC HISTORY The early history of the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) goes back to the 1960’s when control systems were still handled using relay control. During this time the control rooms consisted of sev- eral walls containing many relays, terminal blocks and mass of wires. In 1968 Bill Stone, who was part of a group of engineers at the Hydramatic Division of General Mo- tors Corporation, presented a paper at the Westinghouse Conference outlining their problems with reliability and documentation for the machines at this plant. He also presented a design criteria de- veloped by the GM engineers for a “standard machine controller”, to eliminate costly scrapping of assembly-line relays. These specifications along with a proposal request to build a prototype were given to four control builders: • Allen-Bradley, by way of Michigan-based Information Instruments, Inc.

  • Programa Nacional De Formación En Informatica (Pnfi)
    PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE FORMACIÓN EN INFORMATICA (PNFI) UNIDAD CURRICULAR: FORMACION CRÍTICA II Formación Crítica II Unidad III Ing. Gloria Castillo El Hardware y su interrelación con el medio ambiente. Domotica Se llama domótica al conjunto de sistemas capaces de automatizar una vivienda, aportando servicios de gestión energética, seguridad, bienestar y comunicación, y que pueden estar integrados por medio de redes interiores y exteriores de comunicación, cableadas o inalámbricas, y cuyo control goza de cierta ubicuidad, desde dentro y fuera del hogar. Se podría definir como la integración de la tecnología en el diseño inteligente de un recinto cerrado. El término domótica viene de la unión de las palabras domus (que significa casa en latín) y tica (de automática, palabra en griego, ‘que funciona por sí sola’). Los servicios que ofrece la domótica se pueden agrupar según cinco aspectos o ámbitos principales: Programación y ahorro energético El ahorro energético no es algo tangible, sino un concepto al que se puede llegar de muchas maneras. En muchos casos no es necesario sustituir los aparatos o sistemas del hogar por otros que consuman menos sino una gestión eficiente de los mismos. • Climatización y calderas: programación y zonificación, pudiéndose utilizar un termostato. • Se pueden encender o apagar la caldera usando un control de enchufe, mediante telefonía móvil, fija, Wi-Fi o Ethernet. • Control de toldos y persianas eléctricas, realizando algunas funciones repetitivas automáticamente o bien por el usuario manualmente mediante un mando a distancia: • Proteger automáticamente el toldo del viento, con un mismo sensor de viento que actué sobre todos los toldos. • Protección automática del sol, mediante un mismo sensor de sol que actué sobre todos los toldos y persianas.
