The Agfeo ES-Smart Connect Box is an expansion box for telecommunication systems of the ES system, enabling the connection of integrated relays and sensors via a local network (LAN). It serves as an interface between existing ES systems and additional control and monitoring elements, extending the functionality of the installation at specific locations. The box is finished in white and features a compact design with dimensions of 184 mm width, 142 mm height, and 41 mm depth, allowing flexible mounting in various environments.

Applications

The ES-Smart Connect Box is designed for integration into Agfeo ES systems, particularly for models ES5xx, ES6xx, ES7xx, ES PURE-IP, and HyperVoice. It enables decentralized control and monitoring of devices, for example in office buildings, industrial facilities, or building management, where direct connection to the central system via LAN is required. The box can be operated on multiple systems simultaneously, with a maximum of one box connected to ES5xx systems and up to three boxes to ES6xx and ES7xx systems.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The box features five relay outputs, which can be used to control electrical loads such as lighting, blinds, or heating elements. At the same time, it offers five control inputs for signal acquisition from sensors or switches. These inputs and outputs can be connected to the central ES system via LAN protocol, enabling centralized control and monitoring of decentralized components. Additionally, two module slots are integrated: one is designated for the EN-Module 42, the other for future technologies, ensuring the box's expandability.

Technology Explained Simply

The ES-Smart Connect Box is powered either via PoE (Power over Ethernet), transmitting power and data over a single network cable, or alternatively via a plug-in power supply. PoE is particularly advantageous in existing network infrastructures, as no additional power lines are required. The box can function as an EnOcean Gateway when an optional, retrofittable EN-Module 42 is installed in the designated slot. EnOcean is a wireless standard for energy-autonomous sensors and actuators used in building automation. Integration enables communication with EnOcean-compatible devices via the ES system.

Compatibility and Accessories

The ES-Smart Connect Box is compatible with telephone systems ES548-IT (48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) enclosure), ES548 (wall-mounted enclosure), and ES546 (wall-mounted enclosure). It can be operated in combination with the EN-Module 42 as an EnOcean Gateway, enabling the connection of EnOcean sensors and actuators to the ES system. The box is suitable for all ES 5xx, 6xx, 7xx, ES PURE-IP, and HyperVoice systems.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is performed at a suitable location within the network, with physical connection via a LAN cable. Power supply is either via PoE over the network cable or via a separate plug-in power supply. Configuration is done via the central ES system, where the box is detected and integrated via LAN protocol. Installation requires no special tools, as the box features standard network connections.

Advantages in Operation

The ES-Smart Connect Box enables flexible and scalable expansion of the functionality of Agfeo ES systems. Decentralized connection of relays and sensors via LAN reduces the need for additional cabling and enables centralized control. PoE support simplifies installation, especially in existing networks. Integration of EnOcean technology via the EN-Module 42 expands application possibilities in building automation. The maximum number of controllable boxes per system (1 for ES5xx, 3 for ES6xx/ES7xx) allows flexible scaling according to requirements.
