4.1 Overview
The AC/S 1.x.1 Application Controllers are automation controllers with pre-defined automation modules for
comprehensive heating, ventilation and air conditioning automation (HVAC automation). The devices are
designed for use from central systems to room automation and contribute to the achievement of energy
efficiency goals such as EN 15232.
The devices contain pre-defined application-specific automation modules (ASM) for the most common
areas of application, for instance calculation of heat demand, trends or schedulers. You can create your
own automation modules using a graphic logic editor. The devices have a web user interface for the
display of data and operation; this interface is generated automatically. The AC/S 1.2.1 Application
Controller BACnet also has an integrated BACnet/IP gateway for the connection of the KNX system to the
building control system and other higher level BACnet systems for the bidirectional exchange of data
between KNX and BACnet.
Commissioning is undertaken entirely in ETS. Additional external software is not required. The devices
have a KNX TP connection and require a supply voltage of 24 V AC/DC or PoE for operation.
