BatiBUS |
This protocol was an open field bus for home appliances control and communication. After merging with two other protocols,
it is part of the KNX standard.

BMS |
Building Management System |
EHS |
The European Home Systems (EHS) protocol was aimed at home appliances control and communication. Now, after merging with two
other protocols, it is part of the KNX standard
|
EIB |
The European Installation Bus or Instabus is a decentralised open system to manage and control electrical devices within a
facility. Now, after merging with two other protocols, it is part of the KNX standard
|
ETS |
The Engineering Tool Software (ETS) is a PC software tool which enables the design, engineering and configuration of installations
based on KNX certified products. The tool, which is manufacturer independent, enables a system integrator to combine products
from different manufacturers into one solution
|
ETS project |
This term describes an entity that consists of a group of KNX devices and the links between them. It may also contain KNX
catalog data. The ETS software tool manages and maintains these projects.
|
KNX |
KNX is a worldwide Standard for control in both commercial and residential buildings |
KNX device |
KNX devices are KNX system components that are connected together by a two-wire bus allowing them to exchange data. Sensors
and actuators are examples of typical KNX devices.
|
KNX installation |
A KNX installation comprises KNX devices, which are accessible through a KNX IP device. |
KNXnet/IP driver |
This is the
Niagara KNXnet/IP driver that supports the standard KNX network protocol.
|
KNXnet/IP routing |
This term refers to a multicast-based telegram, which allows a KNX IP router to perform the function of a line or area coupler. |
KNXnet/IP Tunnelling |
This term refers to the primary method of interfacing to a KNX system, which enables point-to-point communication (unicast)
from a single external device to the KNX system. This is akin to using a USB or serial interface.
|
OSI |
The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) is a conceptual model that standardizes the communications functions of
a telecommunication or computer system without regard to their underlying internal structure and technology. Its goal is the
interoperability of diverse communication systems with standard protocols.
