| | | KNX base | | | The KNX base offers the best prerequisites for economical and cost-optimised development and manufacture of radio systems tailor-made to meet special customer wishes and application conditions using standards recognised by the international Konnex Association.
This consortium of worldwide leading suppliers of electronic systems for homes & buildings (manufacturers of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, providers of white goods, building automation, home entertainment systems, telecommunication services and other service providers and energy suppliers) have set themselves the task of linking electronic systems made by different manufacturers into one standard system within the building and home technology sector. This requires standardised communication between the electronic systems that is applicable to all application areas. Based on established bus protocols, additional communication models, protocols, broadcasting media, configurations and tests are anchored in the specification. The classification of performance groups and the definition of the respective physical layer also contribute to higher flexibility and better user orientation.
Technical features
Digades has developed a Konnex base with different performances for cordless communication:
- Konnex conform transceiver 868 to 870 MHz
- Transmission power 0 to +14 dBm
- Receiver sensitivity, better than -95 dBm, BER 10-4
- Optimised antenna design
- Extremely energy-saving applications
Controller implementation corresponding to application requirement is possible
Technological advantages
By using Konnex solutions the disadvantages of existing proprietary solutions for system combinations are excluded. The decisive advantage lies in the area of cost reduction that results from making optimum use, and networking of the individual device technologies employed.
Application examples
With the Konnex solutions from digades it is possible to realise a large number of applications in the home and building sector. They enable a cordless network of electronic control and regulation systems in buildings, e.g.:
- Window shutter controls
- Heating controls
- Security systems (fire and burglar alarm systems)
- Monitoring of electronic household devices
- Home entertainment systems
Components of the Konnex base
For developing customer-specific Konnex solutions digades can draw upon years of development and production know-how in the area of radio data transmission. So portable knowledge is flowing out of development projects already realised into new projects. By closely co-operating with manufacturers of hard and software and due to continuous learning processes, digades is always able to implement the latest state of technology in innovative products. So digades also profits from its experience in stable series manufacture of RF units and devices
The Konnex base offers an optimum basis for the development and manufacture of high quality and economical Konnex solutions according to special customer wishes:
- System consulting and design
- Choice of application-specific, Konnex-capable circuits and hardware components
- Hardware development incl. antenna design and customising
- Software development
- Qualification and approval of the final product by accredited institutions
- Development of the testing technology for series production
- In-house manufacture of the electronic systems
- Assembling the end product
