Description of functions
1.1. Functions
animeo KNX Master Control is a sun protection controller which can control up to 16 different zones in a
building via the KNX bus wire. Depending on weather conditions (sun, wind and wind direction, rain,
temperature, …) and depending on time programs,
animeo KNX Master Control sends information via
the KNX bus wire to the individual sun protection control devices (e.g. animeo KNX Motor Controller) to
provide optimum light and room climate conditions in the building and to protect the sun protection
against damages. The sun protection controller can be connected to external systems (e.g. fire warning
equipment), so that safety is guaranteed in the building. Thanks to special controlling of the sun protec-
tion equipment, the animeo KNX Master Control saves energy costs.
The parameter setting is realised with a user-friendly PC surface (animeo KNX Operating Software) and
the objects are linked with the ETS Software.
