RZB Industrial Automation
rzb automatics and control introduction and brand context
On multi‑site projects, specifiers want control hardware that installs fast, talks to common protocols, and stays stable across ambient changes. RZB builds a compact ecosystem for luminaires and small panels: presence/daylight sensors, DALI‑2 application controllers, 0–10 V interfaces, and contact modules that let service teams keep one playbook from mock‑up to handover.
rzb control systems product range and series overview
Application controllers — DALI‑2 application units with group/scene logic, time‑based events, and broadcast modes for quick commissioning. Typical supply 100–240 V AC with SELV control side; auxiliary 24 V DC outputs for sensors.
Room and corridor sensors — PIR and microwave heads with lux measurement for constant‑light control. Field‑selectable detection zones via lenses/shields; ceiling or luminaire‑mounted bodies with quick connectors.
0–10 V and relay bridges — compact modules to drive analog‑only drivers or switch non‑dimmable loads. Relay contacts rated for control duty; interposing layout protects ELV from mains.
Scene stations and push‑buttons — momentary inputs and multi‑scene plates that publish to the bus. Engravable legends and feedback LEDs support wayfinding.
Gateway/interface units — bridges between DALI‑2 and building systems (e.g., BACnet/IP, Modbus RTU/TCP) for status, scenes, and energy data where a BMS is present.
rzb lighting automation technical specifications and standards
- Control protocols: DALI‑2 (EN 62386) groups/scenes, IEC 60929/IEC 61347 context for control gear; analog 0–10 V with defined source/sink ranges; dry‑contact inputs for wall plates.
- Electrical: mains side 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz; SELV control outputs 24 V DC. Relay modules commonly AC‑15 3–6 A @ 230 V (model dependent). Inrush limits stated for driver banks.
- Sensing: PIR and microwave options with typical mounting heights 2.5–4.0 m; lux range 10–2000 lx; hold‑off and fade times configurable.
- Networking: single‑room controllers run standalone; gateways expose points to BMS. Addressing follows DALI‑2 addressing map; scene tables downloadable to non‑volatile memory.
- EMC & safety: immunity/emissions to EN 61000 series; product safety under EN 61347‑1/‑2‑11/‑2‑13 where LED control gear is integrated, and EN 62368‑1/EN 60730 context where applicable.
- Environment: operating ambient typically −10…+45 °C; storage −20…+70 °C; ingress IP20 for electronics, sealed sensor heads up to IP54/IP65 for corridors and canopies.
Commissioning note: fix the daylight setpoint with blinds open and luminaires at target output; then store scenes to minimize post‑occupancy tweaks
rzb sensor control units applications and compatibility
- Open‑plan offices and retail: presence + daylight hold constant illuminance and cut idle burn; scene calls shift between sales/cleaning/service modes.
- Corridors and back‑of‑house: microwave heads cover long views; delay/fade avoids strobing. Broadcast DALI keeps commissioning light‑touch.
- Warehouses and production: high‑mount sensors with zoned control; relay bridges switch legacy rows until drivers are upgraded.
All controllers and sensors mount on DIN or directly on luminaires. Quick‑connect harnesses and standard cut‑outs match typical fixture bodies, and the logic aligns with building‑control expectations so BMS integration is predictable.
rzb interface modules integration with other brand products
Pair controllers with RZB luminaires that expose DALI‑2 or 0–10 V inputs; emergency inverters sit on the same bus with correct device types. For cabinet work, land mains on MCB/RCBO, then route SELV on segregated duct. Where EMC is sensitive (VFD rooms), use conductive cable entries and 360° screen bonds on control lines.
If the site carries third‑party KNX/Modbus/BACnet, keep the bridge in a shallow enclosure near the patch/controls riser; label points so facilities teams can trace scenes to physical zones.
rzb smart control devices selection criteria for B2B clients
- Protocol and topology — DALI‑2 for group/scene control; 0–10 V where drivers are analog; specify gateways only where BMS points are required.
- Load and inrush — size relay contacts for driver inrush and transformer magnetizing; consider pre‑charge or staggered start where banks are large.
- Sensing & optics — PIR for seated areas, microwave for corridors; confirm mounting height and lens type for the detection footprint.
- Power domains — maintain SELV separation; route 24 V and signal away from mains to preserve immunity.
- Environment & IP — IP20 controllers indoors; IP54/65 heads for dusty or semi‑outdoor zones; temperature headroom for attics and canopies.
Procurement often standardizes one room controller, one sensor family (PIR + microwave lenses), and one interface bridge for legacy analog rows to keep spares lean.
