INTRODUCTION This document presents a short introduction to the philosophy behind the Comelit home automation system and provides a detailed description of the range of home automation products currently available. SIMPLEHOME: DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AND PROPRIETARY PROTOCOL Creating a distributed intelligence home automation system guarantees the following: - limited system costs, even for small installations such as single/two-family apartments, because - as with centralised logic systems - it is not necessary to install a control panel;...
Page 5
Establishing the number of power supply units required: Each device connected to the Comelit home automation system is powered directly by the 3-wire bus; a single home automation power supply unit is capable of supplying 2A continuously (2.2A peak). To guarantee efficient operation of a system, the number of power supply units required must be determined;...
If the power supplies are distributed correctly, to establish the type of cable and cross-sections to be used, follow the instructions below: Input Moduli Moduli Scatole di Scatole di Junction modules ingresso ingresso derivazione derivazione boxes without senza relè a senza relè...
DIGITAL AND ANALOGUE INPUT OPERATING PRINCIPLE To fully understand the system, it is vital to grasp what happens when a button is pressed or released (digital input closed or opened); every time there is a change to an input, the corresponding module sends a message over the bus which, as mentioned previously, can be destined for various recipients: - a module and one or more of the outputs on it - a group...
SYSTEM MANAGERS Comelit home automation modules possess their own intelligence and therefore do not need a control panel; however, if the user needs a graphics interface to view the status of his/her on system and adjust its operation as necessary, various supervision instruments can be used.
DEVICES The devices used to construct the SimpleHome system are described below. ART . 20022101 - SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY UNIT FOR SIMPLEHOME SYSTEM 24 Vdc 2A ON DIN RAIL Supplies power at 24 Vdc with current up to 2A via the BUS: several power supply units can be connected in parallel and distributed at various points of the system, to supply the energy required for correct operation of the connected devices.
