BECKER SMI tube motors for project blinds

An excellent match with KNX

A building's blinds are often controlled centrally, not least to regulate the indoor climate as well as possible. Important to prevent overheating and to keep (cooling) energy consumption low. Building automation often involves the use of the KNX building management system, a worldwide standard with a strong international community for more than 30 years. According to BECKER Antriebe GmbH, their SMI motors are then an excellent choice. 

BECKER's SMI motors - SMI stands for Standard Motor Interface - are ideally suited for integration into the KNX environment, according to the BECKER Benelux team. "These motors offer numerous advantages, including easy mounting, various control options and very accurate status reporting by the motor. The correct feedback and information provides users with more certainty about the functioning of the applications."

BECKER has an SMI actuator for SMI drives in its product range. This is used in conjunction with roller shutters and awnings. A major advantage of this SMI actuator is that the sixteen drives that can be controlled with it at most are connected in parallel and controlled via a five-wire connecting cable. This obviously significantly reduces the amount of cabling required and, according to BECKER, offers a number of further important advantages.

The SMI drives are available in various types, namely the P [38 mm], R [45 mm] and L [58 mm] tube motors from 5 to 120 Nm. An external KNX module is then not required because the KNX technology is already integrated into the tube motor. BECKER's SMI tube motors can be set up by the shading specialist in a simple manner. Integration into the system is accomplished by the KNX integrator.
