Bus and system integration
Networking components
The networking of building technology systems enhances comfort, safety and transparency in air-conditioned buildings. Thanks to this transparency, operation can be optimised and overall energy consumption reduced – in new systems as well as in retrofitting or renovation projects. Networking of individual components can be easily implemented with bus systems, extending throughout the entire building.

The best connection
Product range
Direct connection for damper actuators, valve actuators and sensors
In the event that a device is to be connected directly via a higher-level network, Belimo offers various actuators with an integrated interface. This enables direct connection to field buses commonly used for HVAC without additional hardware, which eliminates additional sources of error. System integrators can integrate Belimo bus actuators and sensors into the existing software environment.
Structured system integration with MP gateways and partner solutions
Belimo gateways and MP partner solutions are used to convert signals of actuators grouped together in the MP-Bus and those of sensors for relevant networks. This enables the structured integration of clearly arranged and manageable sub-systems.
Cost-efficient integration of sensors and switching contacts
Up to two sensors (active, passive, switching contact) can be connected directly to an actuator. The signals are digitised in the actuator and made available on the bus. This minimises planning, installation, operation and maintenance costs.
Maximum flexibility in use
In hybrid operation, the actuator is controlled via an analogue signal and can at the same time be integrated and monitored in the building automation system via the bus. Belimo actuators thus facilitate gradual modernisation of building automation. For the time being, the existing control system can be retained and additional transparency can be created in the building by integrating the bus.
In addition, our actuators offer the greatest level of connection flexibility, since the bus protocol (BACnet, Modbus or MP-Bus) can be adapted on site using Belimo tools.
Practical tool from Belimo
Depending on the place of utilisation and the task, the Belimo Assistant facilitates on-site parameterisation, setup, diagnostics and evaluation. The Belimo Assistant can be used on a smartphone, tablet or PC (Windows version 10 and newer).
Customer-specific products
Custom-made products. Less effort, more profit.
These days, challenges in planning and on the construction site are difficult to solve using standard products, which is why pre-manufactured products are becoming increasingly important. We build the actuator you need – with the cable length, connector plug and parametrisation you specify. On request, we mount the actuator to a valve and create a pre-mounted assembly from pipe parts, sensors, connections and much more.
- Different cable types and lengths with or without a connector plug.
- Product labelling with your customer information (e.g. where the actuator is to be installed in the building).
- Various mounting options (adapted to your installation situation on-site).
- Wide range of electrical and mechanical accessories.
- Completely pre-manufactured and tested assembly (e.g. seal integrity) with components of your choice.
- On request with flexible pipelines, with special coatings or insulation.
- We take care of the parametrisation for you (e.g. adjustable running time, switching differential and bus parameters). For HVAC performance devices (e.g. Belimo Energy Valve™), we prepare the complete commissioning for you according to your specifications.
We offer a "complete carefree package" for your application.
