Laboratory stand for designing industrial KNX networks on Siemens logo! Communication modules

Abstract

Industrial automation networks based on the EIB / KNX protocol are very popular among European companies in the construction of intelligent buildings, but they are of little interest in high school education and currently professional specialists are not trained to use them. Developing the KNX‐based automation system simulator for the training of engineering students is required. We have designed and installed a KNX simulator for engineering students training on smart systems. The presented stand was developed on Siemens LOGO! Basic with CM KNX communication modules. The modules of simulator and KNX software programming tool ETS are explained. Besides, sample scenarios for engineering students to enhance and implement their projects are given.
