1 General
The KNX systems offer an attractive solution which, fulfils the highest
standards in residential, commercial and public buildings. Quality of living,
comfort and safety can be easily combined with cost-effectiveness and
environmental awareness using the KNX bus systems from ABB. The KNX
products cover the entire range of applications in buildings: from illumination
and blind control to heating, ventilation, energy management, security and
surveillance. These demands can be realised cost-effectively with minimal
planning and installation effort using the ABB KNX. Furthermore, the flexible
usage of rooms and the continuous adaptation to changing requirements are
simple to realise. The Switch Actuators SA/S fulfil individual demands in
functional buildings as well as in the private sector when controlling and
switching loads, e.g.:
Lighting
Heating control
Signalling equipment
Furthermore, certain load current types can be detected and monitored
using the function threshold value. Reactions on the KNX can be triggered
depending on the load current, and the load can be switched off directly or
switched via KNX.

1.1.1 Structure of the
product manual
All parameters are described in chapter 3.
Note
In this product manual, all the current 2/4/8 and 12-fold Switch Actuators
are described. However, as the functions for all outputs are identical, only
the functions of output A will be described.
Should the details in the product manual refer to all outputs, 2-fold
corresponds to outputs A…B, 4-fold corresponds to outputs A…D, 8-fold
corresponds to outputs A…H and 12-fold corresponds to outputs A…L,
the designation outputs A…X is used.
The variants with current detection feature an additional parameter page
as well as additional communication objects for this function.

1.2 Product and
functional overview
The ABB i-bus®KNX Switch Actuators SA/S are modular installation devices
with module widths of 2/4/8/12 space units in ProMdesign for installation in
a distribution board. The connection to the ABB i-bus®is established using
the front side bus connection terminal. The Switch Actuators do not require
auxiliary voltage. The assignment of the physical addresses as well as the
parameterization is carried out with Engineering Tool Software ETS from
Version ETS2 V1.3a. If ETS3 or ETS4 is used, the corresponding application
program must be imported.
Note
The illustrations of the parameter windows in this manual correspond to
the ETS3 parameter windows. The user program is optimised for ETS3.
In the ETS2, it is possible that the parameter page is automatically split if
all parameters are used.
The Switch Actuators can switch 2 to 12 independent electrical AC or three-
phase loads via KNX with floating contacts. For types SA/S x.16.6.1 it is
possible to detect the load current for each output. The outputs of the 10 A,
16 A and 16/20 A Switch Actuators can be switched on and off manually.
The switching states are displayed.
For switching loads with high peak inrush currents, e.g. lighting equipment
with compensation capacitors or fluorescent lamp loads (AX) to EN 60669,
the Switch Actuators SA/S x.16.6.1 and SA/S 12.16.5.1 with the highest
switching capacity (C-Load) are especially suitable.
The following functions can be set individually for each output:
Functions time, on and off delay
Function Warning staircase lighting and modifiable staircase lighting
time
Recall of scenes/presets via 8/1 bit commands
Logical functions AND, OR, XOR, GATE function
Status messages
Functions forced operation and safety
Reaction to threshold values
Control of electro-thermal valve drives
Selection of the preferred position at bus voltage failure and bus voltage
recovery
Inverting of the outputs

Furthermore, the Switch Actuators with current detection, SA/S x.16.6.1,
feature per output the function load current detection with programmable
reaction to two current threshold values. The current value can be sent via
the bus. Individual outputs can be copied or exchanged to reduce the
programming effort to the minimum in the Switch Actuators SA/S x.16.6.1
and SA/S x.16.5.1.
Switch Actuators SA/S x.16.6.1 feature a current accuracy that is factor 4
higher than the predecessor SA/S x.16.5.S. The SA/S x.16.6.1 and SA/S
x.16.5.1 are suitable for rated currents up to 20 A and feature C-Load
switching capacity.

Note
The ETS and the current version of the device application program are
required for programming.
The current version of the application program is available for download
on the Internet at www.abb.com/knx. After import it is available in the ETS
under ABB/Output/Binary output xf 10A/…* (x = 2, 4, 8 or 12).
The device does not support the closing function of a KNX device in the
ETS. If you inhibit access to all devices of the project with a BCU code, it
has no effect on this device. Data can still be read and programmed.

2.3 16 A Switch Actuator
SA/S x.16.1, MDRC
SA/S 8.16.1
The 16 A Switch Actuators SA/S x.16.1 are modular installation devices in
ProMdesign for installation in the distribution board. The devices are
especially suitable for switching resistive loads.
Manual actuation of the Switch Actuator is possible using a button. This
simultaneously indicates the switching state.
The Switch Actuators can switch up to 12 independent electrical loads via
floating contacts. The connection of the outputs is implemented using
universal head screw terminals. Each output is controlled separately via the
KNX.
The device does not require an additional power supply and is ready for
immediate use, after the bus voltage has been applied.
The Switch Actuator is parameterised via ETS. The connection to the KNX
is implemented using the bus connection terminal on the front.
