KNX/EIB Calculator

(For Mac only, Windows coming soon)

Have you ever wondered how much time you actually need for the “pure programming“ of a KNX project?

Your answer is the »KNX calculator«.

By entering a few parameters, the KNX calculator calculates the time required to program a KNX project.

What does a KNX project actually contain?

But how is a KNX project composed and which tasks can be calculated in terms of time?

First, a meeting with the planning office or the customer takes place. The time for this varies, depending on the size of the project and customer requirements.

Next, it would be the transmission of the circuits and keypads in a clear installation plan, or the creation of a specifications sheet. But this is almost always wishful thinking, as it is easy to avoid doing. Also, the time for this task is not easy to determine, especially when it comes to the creation of a specification sheet, as this can take up a lot of time.

After the scope of the project has been discussed, it is time to compile and order the required KNX devices. As you can imagine, the time required for this is also difficult to determine.

Programming time for a KNX project

So now it is up to the »actual KNX programming«.

I would list the following steps:

Create the project in the ETS.
Create the building and group address structure.
Insert the required KNX devices.
Parameterise the KNX devices.
Create shortcuts.
Program the KNX devices.
Commissioning and testing of the KNX system.

And this is exactly what the KNX calculator was designed for.

After you have made all necessary entries of your project, you automatically get the pure programming time as a result for your project.

What do I mean by pure programming time?

Well, the pure programming time includes the time that it takes to:

build the project in the ETS
create the building and group address structure
insert the required KNX devices
parameterise the KNX devices
create all the links
program all KNX devices
commission and test the KNX system

The times required to import manufacturer databases, to install and to wire the KNX devices, etc. is not considered and must be determined separately.

Do you need previous knowledge to get a realistic result with the KNX calculator?

A certain basic knowledge of KNX programming is required. One should be able to estimate how many main / middle groups are needed. Also, one should know roughly how many entries the building structure is made of.

The calculation of pure programming time does not require the exact number, but it should be determined almost exactly to get an outcome that will allow you to continue working.

For the number of circuits and KNX devices, a possibly existing offer or service description can be used. Ideally suited is a specification sheet, but this is, as I have already mentioned above, more wishful thinking than reality.

Note

For all interested buyers, who do not come from Germany, we have good news!

Now all interested buyers can also buy outside of Germany or EU on eBook24-7.

The shop has been adjusted for tax purposes and now corresponds to the EU decision to be observed since 1.1.2015. This means that VAT is payable in the country where the buyer lives. Unfortunately, this adjustment brings with it a price increase of the articles, which results from the consideration of the sales tax

We look forward to your purchase and wish you a nice time.
