Many actuators also include controller functionality, as well as sensor functionality (e.g. for measuring operating hours, number of switch cycles, current, electrical power consumption, and more).

Application software, combined with system topology and commissioning software, is loaded onto the devices via a system interface component.

Installed KNX systems can be accessed via LAN, point to point links, or phone networks for central or distributed control of the system via computers, tablets and touch screens, and smartphones.

Some of the key features of the architecture for KNX systems are:

• Interworking and distributed application models for the building automation various tasks.

• Schemes for configuration and management of resources on the network, and to permit the binding of parts of a distributed application in different nodes.

• A communication system with a message protocol and models for the communication stack in each node (capable of hosting distributed applications (KNX Common Kernel).

• Models for the realization of these elements when developing actual devices to be mounted and linked in an installation.
