BLUMOTIX BX-RIO16 KNX M-DIN 8/16 OUT (16A) + multifunction actuator

The BLUMOTIX BX-RIO16 is a 16-channel multifunction actuator designed for DIN rail mounting, ideal for independent switching of loads using bistable relay contacts.

Key Features

The BX-RIO16 bistable relays have 16 A contacts, connected directly to the terminals without phase sharing. The screw terminals can accommodate cables with a cross-section of up to 2.5 mm2.

Functionality

This actuator allows the management of various functions, including:

• Switching of lights and general loads with timing, forcing, blocking and delay functions.
• Valve control with PWM algorithm and anti-lock function.
• Control of shutters, blinds and curtains.
• Control of 2- or 4-tube fan coils, with variable speeds depending on the configuration.

Logical and General Functions

The actuator has a set of logic functions consisting of 16 input communication objects for each channel, which can be combined with OR, AND, XOR and GATE logical operations. These functions allow you to configure countless combinations, optimizing the use of all outputs.

Parameterization and Integration

The BX-RIO16 can be parameterized using the ETS software, making it particularly suitable for the distributed design and management of residential or tertiary buildings.

Technical characteristics

• KNX bus connection: removable 2-pin terminal (d=0.8 mm).
• Electrical connections: screw terminal, max cable cross section 2.5 mm2 (AWG12).
• Degree of protection: IP20.
• Dimensions: 8 DIN modules.
• Nominal relay contact voltage: 230 V ac, 50/60 Hz.
• Nominal current of the relay contact: 16 A.
• Power supply: via KNX bus, 29 V dc SELV.
• Current absorbed by the bus: max 17 mA.
• Operating temperature: -5 ÷ +45 °C (indoor use).

The contacts used withstand an inrush current of up to 320 A in the first 2 ms, making them particularly suitable for driving inductive loads typical of fluorescent or neon lamps.
