Which functions can ABB i-bus® EIB be used for?

Lighting
The lighting can be manually switched or dimmed. A switch sensor can operate any lamp in the house or external lighting. All the lamps can be switched off centrally (before going to bed or when leaving the house) or switched on (e.g. to warn away intruders). Lightscenes that are used frequently (e.g. for reading, watching TV or at mealtimes) can be stored by pressing a button and recalled again as often as necessary with a single push button action. Infrared remote control enables the operation of selected functions, without you having to leave your seat. All the lighting functions can be automatically run using time programs or triggered via a motion sensor which detects the presence of people in the building. Constant lighting control is particularly suitable for office workstations where the brightness level at the workplace must be kept at a previously specified value, regardless of whether the sun is shining or the sky clouds over. In functional buildings, several users can make very different demands on the lighting system: the employees require a pleasant lighting level for working; the lighting is alternately dimmed up and down during meetings and presentations; the cleaners might need all the rooms to be lit up at the same time and the owner requires any unnecessary lights to be switched off or dimmed down in order to save energy costs. ABB i-bus® EIB gives you the flexibility to do this.

Temperatur Control
ABB i-bus® EIB can also be implemented for individual room temperature regulation. The temperature is constantly measured and adjusted to the required level via the radiator valves controlled over EIB. Such valves can also be closed automatically when windows in the room are opened (via window contacts) to avoid wasting energy. A pleasant temperature is thus achieved in each room (individual room control). The required temperature can be set using the rotary thermostat control or by pressing a push button. The temperature variation over the course of the day can be automatically programmed dependent on the room usage. During the night, the temperatures in selected rooms can be lowered to save resources and thus help to preserve our environment. Shading Shutters and roller blinds can be individually raised and lowered: either fully, step-by-step or moved to a specific position. All the shutters and roller blinds can also be moved simultaneously – all rooms can thus be made darker or lighter at the touch of a button. Manual shutter control functions can also be carried out via infrared remote control. The shutter control functions can be carried out fully automatically using a control system with time programs, light sensors or wind sensors. All the roller blinds, for example, can be closed if the brightness level drops below a specific value after 18:00 or they can be closed during the day for protection against intense sunlight.

Security
With ABB i-bus® EIB, important security functions can be integrated into the electrical installation.
Presence simulation: During your absence, the roller blinds open and close at the usual time, the lights are switched on and off and the radio plays music every now and again. It therefore does not occur to anyone that you are not at home.
Lock monitoring: Contacts check whether all the doors and windows are closed. A warning signal can therefore be sounded, for example, before you leave the house if any doors or windows are open. Skylights and garage doors can also be monitored in this way.
Intruder: Alarm signals are triggered if doors and windows are forcibly opened or broken. The presence of unauthorized people inside the house can be recorded with motion detectors. If you are in the house and feel threatened, you can trigger an alarm via an emergency call button.
Alarm signals: In the case of an alarm, a local alarm can be sounded via sirens and strobe lights or a silent alarm can be triggered and a telephone dialing device activated. The silent alarm can notify you either directly via the telephone, inform a neighbor or an emergency service centre.
Fire: Smoke detectors can also be integrated into the electrical installation. All the occupants of the house are thus reliably warned about the possible danger. Additionally a security company can be alerted in good time, before the house is engulfed by flames.
Technical alarms: ABB i-bus® EIB also manages technical signals. You can therefore protect the property against serious damage if water seeps in or there are technical faults in the electrical installation.
All alarm reports can be shown on a display or panel unit. In this way, you can easily find out which alarm has been triggered and in which part of the building.

Display and operate
ABB i-bus® EIB offers a variety of display and operating possibilities whether you are a home owner, office worker or just a user of such an installation. The clear depiction of information and ease of operation simplify the control of processes in buildings.
Switching states, fault signals and measured values as well as alarm signals can be displayed at various locations inside the building and also externally via the Internet or telephone.
You can switch loads manually via the push buttons on the display unit and carry out your own settings.
PC visualization is particularly recommended for more sophisticated requirements. The PC is directly connected to the electrical installation. The PC visualization enables a very clear representation with numerous individual setting options. LCD displays are particularly suitable for an individual and flexible layout. Text and switch functions can be freely programmed on the PC and loaded into the LCD display via an interface. Switching states or fault signals can also be
displayed via LEDs. Panel units with plan drawings and LEDs, or panels with touch control and LEDs are used most frequently.

Control and logging
Control: Additional functions are made possible in an electrical installation by higher-order control procedures. The effort involved is reduced and the economic efficiency of the installation is increased. Complex logic operations, gates, timing elements and staircase lighting functions can also be easily programmed and integrated into the ABB i-bus® EIB systems.
Logging: The logging of important switching commands and fault signals increases the transparency of an installation. The availability is thereby improved, the checking process is simplified and the functional reliability as a whole is increased. ABB i-bus® EIB can print out the log of selected events with any required textual information on one or several logging printers.

Ventilation
Ventilation makes a significant contribution to achieving a pleasant atmosphere in rooms. You can open and close skylights or glass façades using ABB i-bus® EIB. A weather station ensures that the onset of rain is detected and the windows are automatically closed to prevent any water from getting in.

All the lighting functions can be automatically run using time programs or triggered via a motion sensor which detects the presence of people in the building.We have more information on roller blinds and i think it will help you...

Thanks for sharing views.
The Security Window And Door have in addition to its shading usage a security factor that can be apply to any residential or commercial use.
