Flexible and energy-efficient building control GAMMA building control enables crossdiscipline building and room automation based on KNX.
Room automation based on KNX Throughout the day, you benefit at countless points from intelligent building control. This enables you to enjoy the best lighting at any time of day as well as a healthy, productivity-boosting room climate, depend on reliable safety functions and focus on your core activities. Comfortable lighting without wasted energy Daylight improves the well-being.
Standard controllers ‒ for efficient HVAC control Buildings have different HVAC control requirements depending on size, life cycle, business hours and expectations of comfort. With its highly energy-efficient and reliable standard controllers as well as a scalable, modular product range, Synco can be tailored to any needs.
Everything under control – at home and on the go Whether Synco or Synco living, plants with a Web server provide state-of-the-art comfort: You can check the status of your HVAC plant from underway via the HomeControl app or Web access and adapt, for example, the room temperature. Advanced automation for a modern, comfortable home The Synco living home automation and control system offers you energy-saving comfort specially designed for residential living.
Room thermostats ‒ for the perfect feel-good climate To save energy, rooms should be heated or cooled only when they are being used. Room thermostats from Siemens make this easy – for example, based on presence or time. 12 Efficient temperature control for individual rooms Room thermostats from Siemens reduce your energy consumption through timebased programs that produce the desired temperature at the desired time.
Optimal climate in every room Room thermostats allow you to set the room temperature efficiently and conveniently. The patented control technology from Siemens ensures a perfectly uniform warmth. Easy setting and reading of temperature values There are as many different designs as there are different requirements, including models with innovative touch technology. Whether you prefer large buttons or setting knobs, you will find an operating concept that is intuitive to use.
Symaro ‒ for fast, highprecision measurements An HVAC control system is only as good as the sensors that record the current temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. and transmit this data to the controllers. So to ensure an energy-efficient and comfortable room climate, you need sensors that function with absolute reliability throughout their entire service life.
Convenient air quality display Specific Symaro sensors have an LED that lights up in green, orange or red to indicate whether the air quality in the room is good, average or bad, i.e. whether or not the CO2 concentration is too high. Flexible, modern design that suits any ambience With frames from the DELTA program from Siemens or from a third-party manufacturer, the design of the sensors can be customized to match the room environment.
Meters ‒ for accurate recording of consumption data How much hot and cold water, how much heating and cooling energy were used? Meters from Siemens give you a detailed view of consumption data. 16 Everything for reliable recording of consumption data What can meters from Siemens do? They can provide precise, stable and reliable consumption measurement of water, heating and cooling ‒ as well as convenient and flexible reading of the measured data.
Easy integration in higher-level systems Due to the different reading options, the meters are easy to integrate in systems from Siemens ‒ in the Synco living home automation system for residential buildings, and in the Desigo building automation system for office and administrative buildings. Reliable meters with straightforward operation Using standard interfaces, the meters can easily be integrated in building automation systems such as Desigo or Synco living from Siemens and in billing systems.
Acvatix ‒ for efficient HVAC applications With the durable and reliable Acvatix valves and actuators, you benefit from essential building blocks for a cost- and energyefficient HVAC plant. 18 Valves and actuators for any HVAC application The extensive Acvatix™ product range offers you valves and actuators with a long service life that meet virtually any control or hydraulic requirements when it comes to the generation, distribution and usage of heating and cooling energy.
Easy product selection using the Combi Valve Sizer app The Combi Valve Sizer app makes it easy to select the right Acvatix combi valve and the suitable actuator. Designing energy-efficient HVAC plants is now easier than ever. Durable products for long-term investment protection Acvatix gives you peace of mind because the valves and actuators are developed and manufactured by Siemens. This ensures the design is robust and features outstanding reliability as well as minimal need for maintenance.
OpenAir ‒ for energyefficient ventilation To supply rooms with fresh outdoor air and, depending on the plant, remove exhaust air, many dampers have to be opened and closed in a ventilation system. The OpenAir damper actuators are extremely durable and reliable and hence ideally suited for this purpose.
Safety in case of fire Motorized fire and smoke protection dampers prevent the spread of smoke and fire through the ventilation ducts. In case of fire, OpenAir actuators close the dampers especially quickly and reliably, thus providing a high level of protection for people and assets. Comfortable room climate, convenient operation Brushless motors, gear trains that have already been run in and precisely mounted technology ensure especially quiet operation of the damper actuators.
G120P ‒ more efficiency for fans and pumps Adapting the performance of fans and pumps in HVAC plants to actual demand can save a considerable amount of energy. The easy-to-use G120P variable speed drives are the right tool for this job. 22 Modular variable speed drives for all requirements Whether for commercial or residential applications, the G120P range offers you suitable variable speed drives to efficiently control air and liquid media.
Compatible with the SINAMICS Support app You can use the SINAMICS Support app to convert the frequency (Hz) of a variable speed drive to the desired speed of the motor (RPM) and vice versa. When an error code is generated by the variable speed drive, the app explains what the code means and how to correct the error. Quiet operation and safety for room and workplace comfort G120P drives offer low-noise control of fans and pumps.
