Radiocrafts RC1180-KNX1 KNX-RF Module

Posted by Ken Cheung in Other on Thursday, September 2, 2010

Radiocrafts introduced the RC1180-KNX1 compact module. The RC1180-KNX1 board complies with the KNX-RF (Konnex over RF) specification. KNX is the only open international standard for home and building control. The embedded protocol supports KNX-RF 1.1 and KNX Ready, and can be used for unidirectional and bidirectional devices, also in battery operated systems. It conforms to EN 50090 (ISO/IEC 14543-3). KNX is ideal for smart home, building automation, and building management systems. The RC1180-KNX1 module and demo kits are available now.
