Just because it says KNX doesn't mean it’s not EIB

SIM sala bim, abracadabra – we magic solutions

SIM-KNX (SIM-EIB)

Out of the EIB system and two other European bus systems the new KNX system evolved. Thus we also changed the name of our product from SIM-EIB to SIM-KNX. Otherwise there are no substantial changes.

The SIM-KNX is an easy-to-use interface to the KNX. The access to the KNX is realized as a serial ASCII protocol.

The SIM-KNX consists of a micro controller with galvanic isolation. It contains the complete certified KNX communication system and conversion to the data formats used on KNX. This module is designed to connect a controller or other devices to the KNX. Due to its design it is also applicable for small and mid-range quantities.

Features:

   * serial interface with ASCII protocol to connect to your application
   * galvanic isolation between KNX and application interface (SELV)
   * certified EIB/KNX communication system
   * fulfils the requirement for KNX certification of the complete device
   * dimensions: 30x36x10 mm
   * powered from KNX
   * configuration via serial interface or ETS database entry
   * over voltage protection on KNX-side
   * ideal for:
         o project specific solutions
         o individual solutions
         o hobbyists
         o small quantities without the requirement of certification
    * demo- / evaluation boards available
         o with USB-interface via serial to USB converter
         o with standard RS232 connector

Evaluation Board for SIM - KNX

SIM-KNX-EVA: Our evaluation board for the SIM-KNX-module is intended for getting started fast and easy with our SIM-KNX-module. It provides all components necessary to directly connect to the EIB/KNX bus and a PC.
The evaluation board comes in two different editions:

* either with USB interface
* or with standard RS232 interface

With this option a PC or standard industrial controller may be connected. The SIM-KNX evaluation board gives you the possibility to create fast reliable solutions in connecting any controller, CPU or PC to the EIB/KNX bus and decide later if an integration of the SIM-KNX-module into your device is desired. Anyway, you will know how your device performs on the EIB/KNX bus.

SIM-KNX devices

Our SIM-KNX are not only available with serial- and USB- interface, but also in different kinds of enclosures. All devices are CE signed. Unlike our Evaluation Kits, our devices are delivered without extra developer documentation.
