Hello [NAME]
Our articles start this month with an excellent overview by Mark Warburton of the new KNX TP1-256 topology. This expands the number of devices on a line from 64 to 256, is backwardly-compatible, and promises to simplify system design, whilst potentially reducing system costs.
Simon Buddle then provides some great advice on how to expand your business by basing your domestic fire alarm systems on KNX. Although he discusses the new UK fire regulations, his examples of how KNX can be used to improve fire safety, as well as fire strategies, can be applied anywhere.
KNX Secure has been designed to protect KNX installations from internal and external hacking of a building’s control system. To keep us abreast of the technology, Thomas Weinzierl treats us to an update, with useful explanations of how KNX Data Secure and KNX IP Secure work, as well as what can realistically be expected for existing and future installations using twisted pair, RF and IP.
Finally, Julian Barkes suggests that it is ultimately better for all if manufacturers and distributors work together rather than compete. He supports his premise with reasoned examples of the value that distributors bring, both immediately to customers and to the longer-term growth of the market.
We also present you with our top stories, events and resources this month - check them out, they really are fascinating! And if that's not enough, there's plenty more at the website. If you have any news or projects you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch!
Please note that there will be no newsletter in August, so we wish you a super summer (or winter Down Under) and look forward to catching up with you in September!
