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.
 
HP
Horizontal Pitch
Unit according to DIN 43880. 1HP corresponds to 17.5 mm.
lx
Lux
SI unit for the lighting intensity.
