2010-08-05 - Compact Security Solutions for the ABB i-bus® KNX
The new Security Terminal provides a compact security solution for KNX applications for detection and signalling of intrusion, personal attack and technical hazards. They are used as the interface between the security technology sensors and KNX.
Depending on the configuration, the devices feature 2, 4 or 8 inputs - so-called detector circuits or zones. They are used for monitoring connected passive detectors (e.g. magnetic contacts, glass break sensors, etc.) to the ABB i-bus® KNX as well as for connection of floating contacts in applications with enhanced security requirements.
Through the connection of security technology and KNX, the detectors employed can, in addition to the security functions, also be used for heating control (e.g. window contact signal for control of the heating valve) or lighting control (e.g. central switch off of the lighting when the alarm logic is set).
The Security Terminals can be used as autonomous systems with the newly integrated alarm logic, in conjunction with the Security Module SCM/S or with an Intrusion Alarm Panel L240 with KNX Interface XS/S.
The new application program offers several functions for security applications, such as
- Direct and delayed setting
- Internal setting with occupancy and external setting when absent
- Setting of the connected detector types
- Reset input and setting input
- Detector monitoring
- Zones (detector circuits) can be switched off
- Different types of alarms
- Setting for freely programmable relay outputs, e.g. for direct control of signalling devices
