Intelligent Installation Systems

ABB i-bus® is the intelligent building installation system that meets the highest standards, being both future orientated and highly flexible.

ABB i-bus® EIB provides increased security, economic efficiency, convenience and flexibility, whether in office buildings, industrial plants or residential properties.

Functions such as lighting, shutter control and heating can be individually adapted to the requirements of the user.  Later changes can be simply implemented.

Switching and Control - Wherever You Are

With ABB i-bus® EIB you can carry out all the required functions from any location in the building.  It is also possible to operate the installation remotely, for example via a mobile phone or the internet

If several functions are to be executed using a single command, this can be implemented without a problem With central commands and user defined procedures, all the shutters can for example, be raised simultaneously, the constant lighting control activated at each room regulated to a separate temperature - all with a single push button action.

Security Around the Building

With ABB i-bus® EIB, professional security functions can be integrated in to the building installation.  A security control panel manages all security related signals and triggers alarms.  The security control panel can also be conveniently operated via the ABB i-bus® EIB.  Signals can be displayed at any location or printed out via a logging printer.

Automation Required?

In building installations using ABB i-bus® EIB, functions are not only executed via direct manual operation.

Using 'closed loop' control systems, the user can pre-select an individual daily profile for the room temperature or the room lighting level can be constantly regulated to a required value.

  

Time programmes are recommended for regularly recurring events.  Shutters and blinds can be raised automatically should the wind become too strong.

ABB i-bus® EIB monitors the building and can isolate, for example, electrical circuits in the event of a fire or monitor the energy consumption.

Changes implemented in a Flash

The office has become a conference room?  The top floor has been turned in to a separate flat? the functions of the building installation need to be modified?

Modifications such as these can easily be implemented with ABB i-bus® EIB.  You simply need to reprogrammed and the functions are already adapted to the new conditions.

You are kept informed

ABB i-bus® EIB makes it possible for current information about the building installation to be displayed continually.  You can see at a glance in which rooms the lights are switched on or which doors and windows are open.  Measured values can be shown on a display and alarm signals inform you about possible dangers in your building.

If someone has forgotten to switch the light off, you can simply switch it off from the display terminal, without even having to walk up the stairs.

From a distance

You can monitor your building via the telephone or the Internet.  This is the best way to remain constantly informed...

We provide architects, builders and electricians with two services:
  • An advisory / consultancy service
  • Control panel building service

As experts at building panels we have experience in bringing all of the required ABB parts together to ensure that when the electrical panel is installed the system is fully functional.

If you are looking to provide a home automation service, give us a call and we will provide a backroom service second to none with top level ABB expertise.
 

 ABB i-bus® EIB
 ABB i-bus® EIB is a single system and stands for European Installation Bus which is used all over the world.

Since the EIBA (European Installations Bus Association) merged with two other European organisation to form the Konnex Association, KNX has become the new standard in building technology.   ABB i-bus® EIB corresponds to both the EIB standard and the KNX standard.

Basic Principle of  ABB i-bus® EIB

With  ABB i-bus® EIB, electrical loads are not switched directly in the circuit with switches and push buttons as in conventional electrical installations.

Commands are sent instead from sensors (e.g. electronic push buttons) on a twin-core data cable and are received by actuators.  The actuators then execute these commands, for example by switching the circuit.

  • Electrical loads can be switched independently of the electrical circuit (e.g. the light in the hallway can be operated from the lounge or from elsewhere in the house)
  • Electrical loads can be switched by several sensors without complicated two way circuits or remote control switches
  • Functional associations between actuators and sensors can be modified at any time and adapted to individual requirements
  • All the functions can be programmed so that they run automatically. Logic operations can also be created - eg if the brightness level drops below a specific value after 18.00 all teh shutters are lowered and the light in the hall way is switched on).
  • The switching states of electrical loads can be displayed
