WEINZIERL KNX IO 522 Secure 6-Fold Blind Actuator

Description

Introduction

The WEINZIERL KNX IO 522 secure is a 6-fold blind and shutter actuator designed for controlling drives operating on 230 V AC mains voltage. Built on the WEINZIERL KNX Block IO platform, this 6-module (108 mm) DIN-rail unit provides high channel density while incorporating KNX Data Security for secure communication across KNX TP networks. This device is part of our KNX Actuators products range.

Engineered for seamless integration with ETS 5 and ETS 6, the device features electro-mechanically interlocked outputs per channel to prevent simultaneous motor powering. It combines advanced positioning functions with time calculation, local manual operation functioning even without bus power, and central mains voltage monitoring.

Key Features

• 6 output channels optimized for 230 V AC blind, shutter, and window opener drives.
• Compact 6-module (108 mm) DIN-rail enclosure for distribution panel installation.
• Full compatibility with KNX TP, ETS 5, and ETS 6 environments.
• Supports KNX Data Security standard for encrypted communication.
• Electro-mechanically interlocked channel outputs for motor safety.
• Central 230 V supply feed with built-in mains failure detection.
• Manual control buttons with multiple-selection capabilities.
• Direct parameter-level channel control within ETS.

Benefits

• Electro-Mechanical Interlocking: Outputs per channel are mechanically interlocked to reliably protect blind and shutter motors against simultaneous opposite-direction powering.
• KNX Data Security: Native support for secure communication standards ensures full protection against unauthorized access and tampering across the KNX network.
• Central Mains Monitoring: Features a single power supply feed for all channels, enabling clean cabinet wiring and alerting system operators to mains voltage failure via on-device LED and bus group telegrams.
• Bus-Independent Manual Control: Manual operation functionality allows multiple channel selection and switching directly on the unit, even in the absence of KNX bus voltage.
• Direct ETS Channel Control: Enables direct switching and verification of output channels directly from the parameter area in ETS 5 and ETS 6.
• Integrated Logic and Timing: Offers independent logic and time calculation functions for precise position calculations of blinds, shutters, or window openers.

Applications

Shutter and Blind Automation: Precise positioning and management of 230 V motorized roller shutters, blinds, and window opening mechanisms in commercial and residential KNX projects. Explore more products from WEINZIERL for professional building automation projects.
