Simple. Visionary. # powerIO® Building automation 4.0 powerIO® combines power and data in only one system. It enables a completely decentralized structure of the building installation and revolutionizes your working method! ![icon1](https://www.powerio.com/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/icon1.svg) ## Flexibel! Open system, easily and quickly expandable ![icon2](https://www.powerio.com/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/icon2.svg) ## Profitable! Reduction of construction time as well as reduction of cable pull and switch cabinet construction by up to 70% ![icon3](https://www.powerio.com/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/icon3.svg) ## Reliable! More control, higher security, fewer connection errors, more data ## Video ### powerIO® – It's that simple! ![](https://www.powerio.com/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/Icons-powerIO-step2.svg) ![](https://www.powerio.com/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/powerIO-line.png) Your browser does not support the video tag. ## powerIO®-Start Unit This start coupling unit is used in the control cabinet and transfers data to separate **powerIO****®** lines. The **powerIO****®** system is compatible with any Ethernet-compatible PLC, DDC or BMS! (PLC = Programmable Logic Controller, DDC = Direct Digital Control, GLT = Building Management System) ## powerIO®-Line You only need our hybrid cable to transfer data (Ethernet TCP/IP, 100 Mbit/s) and power (230V). ## powerIO®-Box The decentralized automation box distributes power and data. Up to 32 **powerIO****®** boxes can be connected to the **powerIO****®** line as required. ## Connection of sensors and actuators The communicative sensors and actuators of the various systems (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology) are connected to the building installation via the **powerIO****®** boxes. ## Connections: High compatibility with leading manufacturers All common sensors and actuators can be connected to **powerIO****®**. Protocols like Modbus or BACnet from different manufacturers like Belimo, S+S Regeltechnik, Grundfos, Wilo, Oppermann Regelgeräte, ebm-papst, Rosenberg Ventilatoren, Ziehl-Abegg. ## powerIO®-Expansion boards: Many protocols possible If RS485 with standard protocols (Modbus/BACnet) is not sufficient, the system can also be expanded with classic inputs and outputs or other protocols thanks to the **powerIO****®** expansion boards. Available additional protocols: M-Bus, KNX, EnOcean, Ethernet, DALI. ## powerIO®-RIO Offers classic connection options (digital and analog inputs and outputs with manual override up to 16A) and is controlled via Modbus RTU - for example in room automation. ## powerIO®-Bluetooth Dongle Allows you to connect the** powerIO®** box with the **powerIO****®** app. This ensures easy commissioning, facilitates service and enables manual override. ![powerIO-Smartphone-Loop](https://www.powerio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/powerIO-Smartphone-Loop.gif?width=109&name=powerIO-Smartphone-Loop.gif)   ## Always enough connection options There is no more efficient way! Connect all sensors and actuators of a room to one **powerIO****® **box. For larger systems, simply use additional **powerIO****®** boxes. For example, your complete ventilation system is on one **powerIO****®** line! ![powerIO demowall](https://www.powerio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PowerIO/Images/powerIO%20demowall.png?width=533&height=420&name=powerIO%20demowall.png) Live Online Demonstration # 3D-Live demonstration wall Take a look at the powerIO system in real life directly online on our 3D demonstration wall or visit us! ![powerIO-App](https://www.powerio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PowerIO/Produktdaten/powerIO%20App/powerIO-App.png?width=472&height=751&name=powerIO-App.png) The measuring device always with you! # powerIO®- App With the **powerIO****®** app you can easily configure the **powerIO****®** box and directly commission a wide range of well-known devices.
