Radiocrafts has expanded its product line with a new module complying with the KNX-RF specification. KNX is an open international standard for home and building control, used in smart home, building automation and building management systems.
The RC1180-KNX1 is designed for home and building automation systems using the wireless KNX protocol as defined by the KNX Association. The embedded protocol supports KNX-RF 1.1 and KNX Ready, and can be used for unidirectional and bidirectional devices, as well as in battery operated systems. It conforms to EN 50090 (ISO/IEC 14543-3).
KNX is one of the leading standards for home and building control. The interest for such systems is increasing, meeting the demands for energy saving technology. Studies have shown up to 50% energy savings using KNX technology. Radiocrafts is a leader in Wireless M-Bus technology, and is now also a member of the KNX Association. With the new KNX product series, Radiocrafts gives customers an easy transition to KNX with compatible products. Inter-operation between Wireless M-Bus and KNXRF is also possible using the new module.
The module operates in the 868 MHz band, using Listen Before Talk (LBT) to reduce collisions. One receiver can be linked with up to 64 transmitters, enabling very large RF networks. It can be used with S, A and E modes of installation. Among other features, the module offers automatic battery supervision and signal strength information. The KNX1 is the first offering in a family of KNX products that will also include RF repeaters and media couplers.
The RC1180-KNX1 is a surface-mounted transceiver module measuring 12,7 x 25,4 x 3,3 mm, and can be integrated into any sensor or actuator. A UART interface is used for serial communication and configuration, and an antenna is connected directly to the RF pin. The module is certified for operation under the European radio regulations for licence-free use. When used with quarter-wave antennas, a line-of-sight range of 800 metres can be achieved.
