LinTronic Support
have tested VELBUS in our showroom
for more than 6 months, while adding VELBUS communication and support into
our products like for example TT455-RT-238.

Intro
Velbus is
a
cost-effective easy-to-use but very advanced and reliable
HomeAutomation and Light System, offering Light dimmers, relays and
blind/curtain control modules. Furthermore an intelligent
2 x 4-button (and timer/clock) LCD/switch panel is available offering timing features.
Velbus is suitable for both small private
installations (a few lamps in your HomeTheater or bedroom) as well as big
installations (thousands of controls in a factory, warehouse, restaurant
or Hotel).
At LinTronic we have added control to our TT455-RT-238 of VELBUS dimmers and
relay modules, offering for example instant on/off, timer delayed on/off or specific light level control.
Some of the
features LinTronic really enjoyed during our 6 month test-period was:
- Turn down light level in HomeTheater to 5% over 30
seconds when I hit PLAY
- Turn down light level in childrens room over 30 minutes when kids are put to bed
- Turn on outside light level to 10% when it gets dark
- Turn up outside light level to 80% when car enters
drive way or other motion is detected and turn light level down
to 10% after 2 minutes
without motion detected
- Turn off all inside and outside light at 01.00
hours or when I activate the button called GoodNight
- Turn on all inside and outside lights to 100% instantly, when I hit the button called FullLight
Some
of the many
interesting key-points of VELBUS are:
- Data-collision protected CAN-bus system,
operating on only 4 wires (2 for power, 2 for data)
- No special bus-wiring required, works on CAT5
cable in either star, loop or tree form
- No need to keep all modules in the same
space/cabinet, easy to expand or decentralize modules around the
house, no master/slave relation
- Allows two or more switches/buttons to be activated and kept
activated at the exact time without loosing functionality or
bus-collaps
- Input modules ... working with all types of on/off switches ... pick-up the on/off status of switches, buttons, sensors,
etc. and send this information on the bus
- Output modules instantly ... with no delay ...
convert the bus-information into light and relay on/off
functions, controlling lights on/off, light levels over time, heating,
ventilation, doorlocks, garagedoors, etc. etc. according to your
configuration
-
Feedback LED's show the current on/off
status of controlled relays/light
- Easily configured with a screwdriver without
the need of a computer, however the related computer software gives an excellent
overview and back-up facility
- Since introduction in 2007 VELBUS has already
sold into more than 40 countries
