What's Schneider AS-P : The Core Engine of Smart Building Control

In the field of smart buildings, a stable and reliable control system lays the foundation for efficient energy management and comfortable indoor environments. Developed by Schneider Electric, the AS-P (Automation Server Premium) is a high-end automation server. With outstanding native support for the KNX protocol, it serves as the preferred control core for numerous commercial buildings, office complexes and high-end residential projects.

Schneider AS-P is a powerful automation server engineered exclusively for KNX smart building systems. It integrates a KNX/IP gateway, data logger, visualization server and automation engine into one unit, enabling centralized monitoring and intelligent management of the entire building system.

1. Robust KNX Protocol Support

The AS-P comes with an onboard KNX/IP interface for direct connection to the KNX bus without additional gateways. It supports up to 64,000 KNX communication objects to meet the requirements of large-scale projects.

2. Flexible Programming Environment

Compliant with IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages. It supports multiple programming modes including Function Block Diagram (FBD), Ladder Diagram (LD) and Structured Text (ST), allowing engineers to implement complex control logic efficiently.

3. High-Reliability Design

Built on industrial-grade hardware. It supports redundant power supply and network connections to guarantee 24/7 stable operation. Built-in data backup and recovery functions safeguard system security.

4. Extensive Integration Capability

Apart from KNX, it supports multiple building automation protocols such as BACnet, Modbus and DALI, facilitating seamless integration with third-party systems.

The AS-P enables centralized control of lighting, HVAC, sun shading and other systems. Intelligent algorithms optimize energy consumption to help buildings achieve green energy-saving targets.

It supports scene control, schedule management, remote monitoring and other functions, delivering a comfortable and convenient smart living experience for residents.

In smart facility management systems, the AS-P consolidates multiple subsystems including HVAC, lighting and security to realize intelligent management of factory environments.

Select the appropriate AS-P model according to project scale:

• AS-P-1: Small projects (≤ 500 KNX devices)
• AS-P-2: Medium projects (≤ 2000 KNX devices)
• AS-P-3: Large projects (≤ 64,000 KNX devices)

System configuration and programming are recommended via the EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO) software platform, which features an intuitive graphical interface and comprehensive function libraries.
