Any chance of a blinds relay unit similar to the CBUS blinds and shutter relay (but on the Comfort bus)

- safety interlock
- reverse polartiy and split winding motors
- mains and low voltage
- LED indicator up down

Not my preference

If you have mains blinds then I would not want to bring the 240V blinds feeds into a main comfort enclosure.

Take another look at the CBUS blinds relay - it is well though out and accomodates both reverse polarity (usually 24Vdc) motors and split winding (usually mains) motors.

ALSO the CBUS unit has manual over ride - very important.

Tacking it onto the back end of a RIO is not what we are after.

Hi
Is it such a silly suggestion
It will only need the KA/KB
All powered locally
It could control the blinds and give some cheap remote inputs to boot
I'm sure by now it could be fitted into a small smart box

Its not s silly suggestion at all and can readily be achieved.

Here are the down sides once again

- What ever is said the RIO option will encourage the use of mains power in the same enclosure as the main CPU or UCM's

- In our design we always try to offer 'manual overrides.

The CBUS blinds relay is well though out and inexpensive.

RIO need not be in the same enclosure as Comfort, it can be separate
I dont se what is the problem with manual override

Cbus is not suitable for all installations. It is not cost effective to add just a Cbus blinds relay to a non cbus system

NO NO

What i thought was happening is that Cytech would design a blinds relay from scratch - i was suggesting that the CBUS relay was a very good example of what to include in a specification for a new product.

RIO COULD be - which is precisely the problem _If it were using MAINS then it COULD NOT BE in the same enclosure as the main pcb!

Manual override - when we design whole systems one of our main aims is to prepare for failure. By placing a manual override on the relay the blind will always work (if it powered) it does not RELY on comfort, comfort is only the controller / logic

I have NEVER suggested using the CBUS blinds relay - what i am suggesting is that IF you were (and i thought you were) looking to develop a blinds relay then you should make a serious not of the features of the CBUS blinds relay.

For us RIO as a blinds relay is a half way solution and does nothing to enhance the Comfort offering.

Never mind - i thought that somewhere in the Ether you had said that you would look at developing a blinds relay not modifying a RIO.
