2 Contents of Presentation The road towards KNX: the Convergence Process Konnex Association : current activities The KNX system: the technology in a nutshell KNX system : current technical status KNX : from an industry standard to a European standard Outlook on future international standardisation activities Summary Page No. 2

3 The road towards KNX: Convergence Process history (1) before 1997 : 3 major bus associations in Europe Batibus Club International Promotion of Batibus solution installation bus medium originally developed by Schneider Electric especially successful in France use especially in electrical material and HVAC appliances EIBA Promotion of EIB solution installation bus medium/protocol originally developed by Insta-Siemens-Merten especially successful in German speaking countries use especially in electrical material and HVAC appliances Attempt to standardise EIB in the framework of CENELEC TC205 only standardisation of HBES hardware requirements in EN succeeded EHSA Promotion of European Home Systems Bus medium/protocol emanating from a European project for automatic configuration of networked white (washing machine, ) and brown (video, ) goods Page No. 3

4 The road towards KNX: Convergence Process history (2) 97 : Start of the convergence process - goals Bundling activities of BCI, EIBA, EHSA in a new association A non-profit organisation with registered office in Belgium Income : annual member contributions (staggered according to company size) certification fees Members : Manufacturers, Service Providers (e.g. telecom, ) and interested parties (e.g. software houses, ), no licensees organisational structure: General Assembly, Executive Board, Technical and Marketing Boards (with respective expert and working groups) Page No. 4

5 The road towards KNX: Convergence Process history (3) 97 : Start of the convergence process - goals (ctd.) Creation of a joint standard for a new bus system «KNX» European Standardisation of the KNX standard by becoming cooperation partner of CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation) Registration of a new trademark Start of a Certification procedure for KNX compatible devices 14 April 1999 : Founding of Konnex Association in Brussels with 9 founding members 20 March 2001 : first General Assembly Page No. 5

6 Konnex : current status association Konnex tasks around the KNX system: Elaboration and extension of the KNX-Specifications Technical Hotline-support International Standardisation Protection of the KNX (and legacy) Trademarks Certification of KNX compatible products Standardisation of Training documentation Certification of training Centres Communication Promotion National Organisations Partnerschip for Universities and Technical Institutes Organisation of the annual Scientific Conference Page No. 6

7 Konnex: current status association(s) Non-commercial activities of Batibus, EIBA and EHSA by contract delegated to Konnex : Konnex from April 2003 onwards responsible for: Rest promotional activities for the legacy systems Clarifications of the (frozen) legacy specifications (if still needed) Support for the legacy systems (if still needed) Certification procedure of the legacy systems EIB and EHS Further granting of EIB Partnerships all work in the legacy expert/working groups has in principle been suspended EIBA remains in existence however only for Specification, Marketing and sale of EIB/KNX tools (a.o. ETS) Statutes have been changed to better reflect this reduction of activities Batibus transformed into Konnex France Page No. 7

8 Konnex: miscellaneous Size of the current association : Over 90 members (also companies, which had not been a member in the legacy associations) from such fields of application as: Lighting control Shutter control Heating, Ventilation, Airconditioning Alarm/intrusion systems Household appliances Membership for new companies now only possible in Konnex Page No. 8

19 KNX: current status technical KNX Specifications Version 1.0 published (May 2002) IPR Clearance of these specifications positively concluded : All patent rights of the members that are according to the specifications necessary for the development of a KNX compatible product, are licensed free of charge to other Konnex members for use in KNX certified products. No other bus association has a similar open and comprehensive system for Home and Building Control First KNX (only) devices for Radio Frequency and HVAC Applications submitted for certification KNX Specifications Version 1.1 Published in March 2004 clearance process ongoing Extensions: Improvements A-mode Radio Frequency KNX via IP (pre-standard version) USB-interface, distributed Power supply, new Line coupler Page No. 19

20 KNX: from an industry standard to EN Konnex Association 06/2000 Konnex Association (at that time still called EHBESA) becomes co-operating partner of CENELEC authorizes Konnex to directly submit standard proposals to CENELEC Bureau Technique (BT) CENELEC cooperating partners are meant to «represent with a sufficient degree of representativity a sector of the electotechnical field» : therefore assessment in relevant technical committee appointed by BT of editorial nature 12/ Submission to CENELEC Bureau Technique KNX Twisted pair standard KNX kernel (LL, NL, TL, AL) KNX Network Management Procedures 05/2002 : Konnex internal publication of version 1.0 of the KNX standard 11/2002 Submission to BT of KNX Powerline standard 12/2002 Submission of above EN parts to six months Unique Acceptance procedure approval by relevant national committees 06/2003 positive vote of national committees - submission for ratification to BT 12/2003 ratification received by BT Page No. 20

22 Standards for intelligent buildings: summary Added value of «intelligence» of buildings can only be achieved by systems that Are offered by a large variety of manufacturers, preferably organised in manufacturer/standardisation associations Cover different application domains Have low threshold for starting contractors and planners Can be used for smallscale (residential) as well commercial projects (offices, hotels, airports, ) ensure multi-vendor and cross-discipline interoperability Have system and interworking requirements that are verified through a solid certification procedure using third party test houses Conform to European standards as this increases user s feeling of security/quality Konnex Association Page No. 22
