KNX BASIC COURSE
The main course that needed for any who want work in KNX technology
  • 1
    Needed Background
    to master the course, basic computer skills and a school physics course are sufficient
  • 2
    Duration
    The course takes 4 days and on the 5th day there is an exam. Total duration 30 hours
  • 3
    Procedure for conducting classes
    Half of the lessons are theoretical, half of the lessons are practical on the equipment of the training center. The exam consists of two parts - an online theory test and an offline practical exam task.
Content of theoretical part
History of regulation loops. First computers. Generations of modern automation. Decentralised automation. Lonworks and EIB. Comparing of protocols parameters and objectives. ISO status of protocols. Manifest of Generation 4. IoT
