Switch to a Smarter Tomorrow
Flexibility combined with compact design - the Combi Switch Actuators offer switching and shading functionality in a device half the size. Ideally suited to meet the dynamic requirements of modern residential projects.
The Combi Switch Actuators feature high channel density, freely selectable switching and shading functionality in a single device, increased safety and intuitive usage thanks to the unified manual operation concept - offering customers maximum flexibility and comfort in planning, installing and commissioning.
Main Benefits

Flexible switching and shading
Selectable switching and shading functionality in one device for flexibility from planning to final realization and subsequent changes

Efficiency
Cost-effective, space- and time-saving thanks to compact devices with high channel density that double the space in the distribution board

Safety & Usability
User friendly and intuitive to use; increased safety thanks to an operation foil which prevents from unauthorized operation
Main Features
Selectable switching and shading functionality
High channel density: 2 switching outputs or 1 shutter output per module width
Suitable for multi-phase operation
Easy commissioning thanks to template pages and central group objects
User-friendly UI through the representation of parameters in tabular form (ETS application version 1.1)
Load shedding function to integrate the devices into an energy / load control system (ETS application version 1.1)
Extended logic and optimized threshold function for a better comprehensibility (ETS application version 1.1)
Tool-free assembly and disassembly from DIN-rail
Universal manual operation can be blocked, easy status identification is available
Easier and faster device configuration of several devices thanks to the ETA App Update Copy Convert
Now integratable into the ABB i-bus® Tool
Switch/Shutter Actuators 6 A, MDRC and 10 A, MDRC
The compact 6 A and 10 A combi switch actuators have 8, 16 or 24 independent switching relays. The outputs can be used individually via ABB i-bus® KNX for switching electrical loads or in pairs for controlling 230 V AC roller shutter or blind drives (no electromechanically interlocking). The device features a manual operation, which can also be disabled. Via the manual operation the outputs can be operated manually and the switching or driving status is displayed. The device is powered by KNX and requires no additional power supply. Devices support the ABB i-bus® Tool for advanced diagnostics and improved commissioning.
