The structure of the next.system

The core of the system gathers data from different devices and systems and controls the whole building on the basis of these data. Depending on the size of the system, numerous objects can be integrated. If the system is configured, the changes are effected at once without any need for a restart or interruptions.

The next.system is available in 4 different sizes:

- next.30
- next.100
- next.1000
- next.unlimited

The number stands for the number of integrated elements, like lights, shadowing, electric windows, screens, switchable sockets, door openers and control valves. This makes it easy for everybody to calculate the system size. It is no problem to complete your system later-on, no matter if you pick next.30 or next.1000, all functions are the same both in the small and the big package and can be completed up to next.unlimited.

By means of the data bank, events and power consumption are recorded, which allows for the supervision of the building and the creation of statistics. System messages can optionally be sent by SMS, email or RSS. All current bus systems like EIB/KNX, DALI, EnOcean, BACnet,MODBUS, Beckhoff ADS and Ether-CAT are part of the system. The data are transmitted by TCP/IP, RS232 or RS485.
