Control units on the wall (a replacement of conventional switches) can be designed or integrated into the system in several ways, depending on the comfort, options, price and assortment.
The first one is a controller as the bus element of the Foxtrot system. In this case the best use of the element is on the wall (several short-stroke push-buttons, an integrated temperature sensor, connection of additional temperature sensors, LED indication, etc.), but at the same time, the range is limited to directly supported designs, such as Logus from Efapel, Time from ABB and the whole series of controllers produced by OBZOR (Decente, Elegant and Variant).
Besides the modules (control units) on the CIB bus (Time, Logus, Obzor designs), wireless control units designed by ABB Time can also be used, such as the R-WS-0200R-Time and R-WS-0400R-Time modules, which have - in terms of functionality - identical characteristics as the CFox modules C-WS-0400R-Time.
Another option is to use short-stroke push-buttons produced and supplied by the manufacturers of the electric installation elements, such as GIRA, JUNG, EATON and others. These buttons can be connected to the binary inputs of the system, either directly in the flush box under the appropriate control unit, or with a cable in the control panel on the inputs of modules on a DIN rail. However, the limitation is the availability and the assortment of control units on the market.
The third option is to use common buttons without a detent (for the blinds, for the bell, etc.). With no possibility of signalling and usually only one or two buttons for the control unit, such buttons have only one advantage: they are available in nearly every design. The buttons should also be connected to the binary inputs of the system - like in the previous paragraph.
The fourth option is to integrate the control units with the communication of other manufacturers - we can offer solutions for the KNX controllers.
