Abbreviation | Term | Description |
dSF | digitalSTROM filter | Conditions the 230 V grid for digitalSTROM communication. |
dSS | digitalSTROM Server | Connects the digitalSTROM installation to a home network and to the Internet if required and extends the functionality of this system. |
dSM | digitalSTROM Meter | One digitalSTROM Meter is required for each power circuit. It communicates with the digitalSTROM devices (e.g. digitalSTROM terminal blocks) via 230 V and measures the energy and performance in this power circuit. |
dSFD | digitalSTROM device Filter | Makes it possible to filter any interference from non-digitalSTROM-ready consumers in such a way so that these devices can be used without interfering with digitalSTROM communication. |
dSN | digitalSTROM power supply unit | 24 V power supply for the digitalSTROM Server |
dSID | digitalSTROM identification number | Unique identifier of the individual digitalSTROM components. |
dS485 | digitalSTROM- 485 protocol | Interface between digitalSTROM Server and digitalSTROM Meter based on the RS-485 bus system |
P44 | Plan44-Bridge | Interface to EnOcean sensors and actuators of third party manufacturers that are connected to the digitalSTROM system via wireless radio transmission, e.g. indoor climate controllers. Also see www.plan44.ch. |
EnOcean | Battery-free radio technology. In the digitalSTROM system the EnOcean radio protocol is used for actuators and temperature sensors. Also see www.enocean.com. | |
Ethernet | Technology that specifies the software and hardware for local data networks (LAN). | |
Downstream communication | Communication from the digitalSTROM meters to the digitalSTROM components (e.g. digitalSTROM terminal block). | |
Upstream communication | Communication from the digitalSTROM components (e.g. digitalSTROM terminal block) to the digitalSTROM meters. | |
digitalSTROM devices | A device (lamp, push button, room thermostat, etc.) which is connected to the 230 V mains, and which can be controlled via digitalSTROM | |
dS-KM | digitalSTROM terminal block | Terminal block with an integrated digitalSTROM chip. Used for switching/dimming. |
dS-KL | digitalSTROM relay terminal block | Serves as a relay actuator. |
dS-TKM | digitalSTROM push button block | Used to connect a standard wall push button as a control point with 1-way, 2-way or 4-way operation. |
dS-SDM | digitalSTROM line dimmer | Used for switching/dimming. |
dS-SDS | digitalSTROM line dimmer | Used for switching/dimming. |
dS-SSL | digitalSTROM line switch | Used as a pluggable connection for large electrical consumers. |
dS-AKM | digitalSTROM automation terminal blocks | Used for monitoring up to four sensor signals (e.g. wind) on the basis of which other digitalSTROM devices can be controlled. |
dS-ZWS | digitalSTROM inline adapter | Used as a mobile relay switching contact. |
dS-UMR | digitalSTROM SW-UMR | Is used for the potential-free recording of mains and low voltage signals (e.g.: doorbell systems), as well as for the switching of end consumers. |
dS-UMVdS-UMV | digitalSTROM-UMV | Is used to activate electrical ballasts of LED- and fluorescent lamps with analogue dim input (1-10 V or 0-10 V). |
digitalSTROM Configurator | Software on the digitalSTROM Server for configuring a digitalSTROM installation. It is accessed via a web browser. | |
digitalSTROM Server app | Within digitalSTROM, additional functions are referred to as "Apps" ( e.g. Timer, Event Responder, Presence Simulation, Energy Graph etc.). | |
digitalSTROM App | This app (iOS/Android/Windows) can access the digitalSTROM installation. | |
Zone | Is a largely self-contained functional area. If push buttons are pressed or presets activated within a room, this will affect the devices/actuators belonging to the room. | |
Preset | Presets can be configured for one application area each, e.g. lighting preset, shading preset. The "read" preset, for example, dims the reading lamp and switches the ceiling lamp off | |
Higher-level Activities | Higher-level activities have general priority. The higher-level activity «Leaving home» then switches all consumers off. | |
Power circuit | All energy consumers or socket outlets protected by the same overcurrent protection device (fuse). | |
Blinds (Slat blinds) | Used as screens or as weather and sometimes as burglar protection. In addition to their position, you can also control the angle of the blades. In the factory settings of the grey digitalSTROM relay terminal block (shade) the blinds are shut in the Off preset. | |
Awning | Shading systems made of fabric. During bad weather or absence they are usually retracted. In the factory settings of the grey digitalSTROM relay terminal block (shade) the awnings are shut in the Off preset. | |
Shutters | Used as screens or as weather and sometimes as burglar protection. In the factory settings of the grey digitalSTROM relay terminal block (shade) the shutters are shut in the Off preset. | |
AHB | digitalSTROM user manual | Contains information (introduction, operation and configuration) for the digitalSTROM users. |
PHB | digitalSTROM planning handbook | Contains information for planners of the digitalSTROM electrical installation. |
IHB | digitalSTROM installation manual | Contains information for electricians of the digitalSTROM electrical installation. |
