BUS Automation: Controllers, Interfaces and Smart Building Controls for Electrical Installers

BUS automation brings together controllers, interfaces and user controls so electrical systems can respond to programmed commands rather than relying only on conventional switching. This range covers DIN-rail modules, KNX controls, DALI equipment, gateways and touch interfaces for residential automation, commercial fit-outs and smart building projects. For centralised control, the 10-inch BUS/SCS home automation touchscreen provides a user interface, while the KNX Lighting Control guide helps with controller selection.

What's in This Range

• BACnet Gateway 230V Touch Screen AC DIN Rail MyHome Legrand — DIN-rail gateway with BACnet communication, touchscreen operation and 230V AC input for automation integration.
• KNX Lighting Controller Outputs 8A per Channel DIN Legrand — 8A-per-channel KNX lighting control for switching loads in residential, hotel and commercial installations.
• KNX Fan Control Actuator 0-10V 5 Relay Outputs DIN Rail Legrand — combines 0-10V control with relay outputs for fan and HVAC automation.
• MyHOME DIN DALI Controller Output Channels DIN Rail Bticino — 8-channel DALI control for dimming applications within wired MyHOME automation systems.
• KNX Touch Control Panel 4 Button Black Glass Plate Legrand — four-button touch interface for wall-mounted KNX control in smart home, hotel and commercial applications.
• MyHome DIN Controller 1 Output 16A 2 Module Legrand — DIN-mounted switching control with a 16A relay for compatible MyHOME automation systems.

Who Uses This

BUS automation equipment suits electricians and automation installers working on smart homes, hotel rooms, commercial fit-outs and building management upgrades. DIN-rail controllers can integrate switching, lighting, load management or HVAC functions, while touch panels and interfaces provide user-facing control. The range also suits projects where multiple functions need to be coordinated through a bus-based system.

Other BUS Automation — Common Questions

Which BUS automation equipment should be used for lighting control?

Start with the control architecture and load type. A KNX lighting controller suits bus-based switching, while a DALI controller is appropriate where the lighting system requires dedicated DALI dimming. Check the project design, channel requirements and compatibility before selecting the module.

How do I connect conventional inputs to a KNX automation system?

A dry-contact interface can bridge conventional switching or contact signals into a compatible KNX installation. The KNX Flush Mount Interface 4 Inputs Outputs Legrand provides four inputs and four outputs, making it useful where existing contacts need to be incorporated without replacing every field device.

Can BUS automation controllers be used for HVAC or fan control?

Yes, where the selected actuator matches the control method and connected equipment. KNX fan control actuators can combine relay switching with 0-10V outputs for compatible fan or HVAC functions. Confirm electrical ratings and communication requirements against the project specification.
