Inspinia A-KNX BMS Addon Module

Description

Introduction

The Inspinia A-KNX BMS Module is a dedicated hardware add-on designed to enable direct integration with KNX Twisted Pair communication media. Engineered specifically for compatibility with Inspinia smart building automation hardware, this module allows seamless bus communication while maintaining minimal power consumption on the KNX bus line. This device is part of our KNX system components range.

As part of Inspinia’s modular BMS add-on series, the A-KNX interface incorporates board-to-board isolation to ensure reliable physical and electrical connection to the main board. This series also encompasses complementary interface modules for RS485, Zigbee, Bticino SCS, and Inels Bus networks.

Key Features

• Order Code: A-KNX for dedicated KNX Twisted Pair connectivity.
• Bus Power Consumption: Approx. < 10mA for A-KNX.
• Isolation Architecture: Board-to-board type.
• Option for RS485 via Order Code A-GRS4 with board-to-board galvanic isolation.
• Option for wireless Zigbee via Order Code A-ZGB with up to 40 meters distance.
• Option for Bticino / SCS via Order Code A-SCS with < 10mA bus power consumption.
• Option for Inels Bus via Order Code A-iBUS with < 10mA bus power consumption.

Benefits

• Enables direct physical integration with KNX Twisted Pair communication media.
• Consumes minimal current from the bus, rated at approximately less than 10mA.
• Utilizes board-to-board isolation for physical hardware connection.
• Integrates into Inspinia’s modular expansion ecosystem alongside RS485, Zigbee, SCS, and iBUS interfaces.
• Provides system integrators with flexible multi-protocol building management options.
