ne of the most attractive selling points for a KNX system is the promise that it will be futureproof. Not only can you integrate just about every conceivable building control function, but you can have confidence knowing that a well- maintained system should never let you down and that system maintenance/ upgrades are both simple and affordable.
O
There will always be compatible products available to replace or upgrade controls in your original installation. You also know that the controls you choose to keep will never be obsolete because KNX compliance involves ensuring that any new devices brought to market are backwards compatible
Advertiser’s announcement
Making good on the KNX futureproofing promise
with any other KNX control. In a nutshell, intelligence is distributed downstream to device level in a KNX system. Things are kept consistently simple, and no matter how sophisticated control devices become, standard KNX data telegrams sent to actuators on the bus are converted into actions, achieving the control you want. The language remains the same whether you are addressing a 20-year-old device or the latest gadget in addition you can mix and match them at will. Distributing intelligence also means that there is no central point of failure in a KNX installation, so a minor fault will never trigger complete system failure. As KNX moves into its fourth decade, there are going to be more systems that are ready for upgrades. This may be
simply because technology choices and user aspirations have moved on; they may want more functionality or to boost energy efficiency, perhaps for some installations it was always intended to implement scalable KNX technology incrementally, one department or storey at a time, as budgets allow, or perhaps they want to boost cyber security by incorporating relatively new KNX Secure standards.
Whatever the scenario, KNX will fulfil its promise of making your investment in smart building technology future proof.
