- Stylish design made of black glass and brushed aluminum
- Flexible user interface with many symbols for intuitive operation
- Easy control of lighting, shading and room temperature
Siemens Smart Infrastructure presents the new room control unit KNX Touch Control TC5, which transforms passive buildings into adaptive ones, thus driving the development of intelligent building technologies forward. The user-friendly device enables clear operation and display of all relevant functions in the room thanks to the individually configurable control elements. Thanks to the capacitive 5.0-inch color touch display in a modern, attractive design, the new device is ideal for use in commercial buildings such as conference rooms, offices and hotels. Touch Control TC5 can be used worldwide due to its flexible assembly concept.
Buildings become empathetic
Digitization is transforming buildings into modern and more intelligent structures. “Intelligent buildings offer new opportunities to positively influence the commitment and productivity of tenants, as they respond to the individual needs of their users,” said Henning Sandfort, CEO Building Products at Siemens Smart Infrastructure able to communicate via KNX and to create perfect room climate and light conditions for every room user, as they react intelligently to the values recorded by sensors. ”
The new room controller covers almost all applications in the room, such as switching, dimming, color and color temperature control as well as shading and HVAC operation, including ventilation and air conditioning control. Particularly noteworthy is the option of automatic fan control based on the current PM2.5 or CO2 value in order to ensure a healthy indoor air climate. The fan changes the fan speed depending on how many pollutant particles are in the air. With the existing logic functions, it is easy to implement additional control functions such as automatic switching to frost protection mode when the outside temperature drops sharply or closing the blinds when the brightness exceeds a certain value.
Less complexity for the user
Typically, as the building becomes more intelligent, more devices and cables are required. The Touch Control TC5 is different: Each room function can be displayed and operated using a single device. The assembly and installation of the new touch panel is easy as it can be mounted on different wall installation boxes (EU, USA, CN, UK, CH). In order to meet the branding requirements of the commercial customer, the symbols, the design and the screen saver can be adapted according to customer requirements. To save energy, the screen can be switched on and off automatically using integrated proximity sensors. Operation can be locked or unlocked at any time using a password specified during configuration or via the bus.
The new room control unit is versatile and inexpensive at the same time, as no additional central controller is required to efficiently implement simple projects.
