ABB’s innovative portfolio of blind and shutter actuators integrates seamlessly with KNX systems, offering reliable and automated control for modern building shading solutions.

The latest actuators incorporate KNX Data Secure for enhanced protection against unauthorized access, while their energy-saving features contribute to creating smarter, more sustainable buildings. These actuators ensure an optimized balance of natural light and temperature, reducing energy consumption and supporting a greener lifestyle.

Simplified Commissioning for Time Efficiency

The new range is designed with streamlined installation processes, leveraging improved templates within the Engineering Tool Software (ETS) application. This facilitates quicker parameterization and reduces commissioning time, making the system user-friendly for electrical installers and system integrators.

Meeting Modern Demands for Smarter Buildings

Shading control solutions have become pivotal in modern architecture due to their energy efficiency and smart building capabilities. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), integrating smart shading systems can reduce heating and cooling demands by 10–20 percent. Sensor-controlled shutters and blinds with sun position-based adjustments enable optimal lighting and indoor climate conditions, fostering comfortable and sustainable living environments.

Versatile and Sophisticated Automation

ABB’s shading actuators seamlessly integrate with the ABB i-bus® KNX system, offering a robust solution for automating blinds and shutters. This integration enhances user experience by accommodating various needs for residential and commercial spaces.

Enhanced Features for Tailored Solutions

The portfolio’s versatility ensures tailored solutions for diverse shading requirements. One notable feature includes a shutter control unit that adjusts based on sun position and integrates weather data—monitoring wind speed, rain, brightness, twilight, and temperature—to achieve energy efficiency and lower operational costs over time.
