Introduction
In general
TheinstabusEIB is a distributed data bus system for flexible service
management in functional and residential buildings. Every storey, every room is individually supplied according to its requirements and conditions with the optimum electrical power for the respective time of day. This new technology revolutionizes electrical installation, is easy to comprehend and easy to implement. It saves time because planning is PC-based and much fewer leads must be laid during installation. As all components are optimally matched to one another, buildings with an instabusEIB
installation consume considerably fewer resources and thus work more
economically as traditional systems. What is more, the system can be quickly and easily adapted when the layout of the room changes by simply re-assigning devices and components.
How does the instabus EIB work?
All switches, pushbuttons and controls (sensors) are connected to the bus line by bus couplers. The bus line is a two-wire MSR lead that runs through the whole building. If a pushbutton is actuated for example, a command telegram with a specific address goes on the bus line.
Address assignment
Every bus station is provided with a teaching button with an LED at its coupler. When this button is pressed, the physical address sent by the PC is applied and acknowledged.
Functional interaction is reached by allocating the group address. This address is sent by the sensor together with the telegram and is received by all bus couplers with the same group address.
The time load on the bus line is very low here.
With event-controlled transmission a signal is only sent when a sensor is actuated, so the bus line is used only for a short time.
The addressed actuators (relays, contactors, binary outputs, etc.) that are also connected to the bus line via their bus couplers receive the commands, but only those actuators or that actuator group will be activated which have been specified in the telegram address.
Adaptation to changed rooms
It is especially relevant for functional buildings that a displacement of partition walls, which is often necessary there for organizational reasons, does not require the removal or a new laying of leads.
By means of a PC, the sensors and actuators can be assigned new group addresses that correspond to the new room layout, e.g. relations between light switches and lamps, from anywhere in the bus network.
So it is a prerequisite that all sensors and actuators obtain a physical address.
Thus they can receive all further inputs like group addresses and parameters and can also be queried specifically, e.g. in the line of diagnostics during maintenance.

It consists of the following components: 1 line power supply unit (type with
640 mA) including reactor 1 RS 232 interface 1 binary input, 4-fold 1 binary output, 4-fold 1 scenic module
Room lighting simulation consisting of 4 incandescent lamps and pluggable partition walls for a fast change of the room layout.

Introduction to Powernet
®EIB
In general
Up to now one has always assumed that apart from the power line a bus line is necessary, too, for transmitting information.
That conception had a lot of advantages. It was no longer necessary to lay an immeasurable number of control leads, flexibility was increased and with a separate bus and power line susceptibility to interference was reduced to a minimum.
In residential building and for existing facilities it is often desirable, how ever, to install EIB devices without having to lay new leads. This is possible with the Powernet® EIB. It is no longer
necessary to lay a separate bus line.
Data transmission takes place via the available 230-V installation network. Only a neutral and an outside conductor must be present in the branching box.
The basic idea was the network bus X-10, which has been known for years. The corresponding technology has been changed fundamentally for the Powernet® EIB, however, so that
the only thing in common between the network bus X-10 and Powernet® EIB is the transmission of control signals via the existing 230/400-V network. For example, a new transmission procedure called SFSK (Spread Frequency Shift Keying) is used.
This new transmission procedure stands out due to its high reliability for all network conditions.
The remarkable thing about it is that the signals are transmitted via two separate frequencies.
By a pattern comparison and an intelligent correction procedure a signal received can be corrected even in the event of trouble.
A faultless telegram transmission is confirmed by a message from the receiver to the transmitter. Thus the transmission process is complete. If a transmitter does not receive a response, it repeats the transmission. The transfer rate is 1200 bits/s, a complete transmission lasts approx. 130 ms.
Topology
The topology is different from the conventional EIB topology. As all Powernet® EIB devices are
connected via the 230-V installation network with balanced link access, the typical distribution by lines and area couplers does not apply. In order to maintain a structural overview in the case of extensive sytems, a logical
arrangement with lines and areas is recommendable here too though. Apart from the topological limits (4096 devices in one configuration area), the following physical limitations
additionally apply in practice:
- no operation beyond a transformer station,
- no operation in networks with different network parameters or tolerances (e.g. 110 V/60 Hz), - no operation in networks with devices that have no proper interference suppression.
Devices
The devices of the Powernet® EIB
system have a similar design as the conventional EIB devices and are provided with the standard applica-tions.
They are programmed and operated with the EIB Tool Software from version 2.1 up.
The scope of application is analogous to the fields where the EIB is used:
Power management
Demand-specific lighting
Venetian blind control
Signaling functions
Single-room heating control and analog value transmission
So, Powernet® EIB is a supplementary
technology for the EIB suitable for buildings and facilities where a laying of bus cables is not desired or not possible.
The Powernet® EIB facilitates EIB installation in residential building and a retrofitting of existing buildings with EIB.
WUEKRO experimental panels
The electrical engineer/electrician is more and more confronted with the subject Powernet® EIB in his daily work.Comprehensive training or education is the foundation for later competitive-ness.
The experimental panels developed by WUEKRO can be used as supplements to the instabus EIB experimental panels.
Both bus technologies can be connected using a media coupler.
It is also possible, however, to set up and parameterize independent Powernet® EIB systems.
