Somfy Digital Network™ (SDN): Intelligent Wired Shading

Install robust, cost-efficient, and powerful shade controls with Somfy Digital Network (SDN) devices. Designed specifically to provide intelligent motors and controls for large scale shading projects, the SDN system offers a professional-grade solution to creating an interconnected home of intelligent devices.

SDN technology is based on standard network architecture that transmits digital signals over a twisted pair bus line. It uses the RS-485 standard with Category 5 UTP cable, Ethernet patch cables, RJ45 connectors and splitters for communication between devices.

SDN System Benefits

• Differential signaling, low data speed communication and high impedance devices
• Single bus segment can be up to 4,000 feet with 255 devices
• Free wiring topology with no termination resistors
• Noise and interference is minimized by using capacitance controlled, unshielded twisted pair cable
• System scalability is virtually unlimited
• No need for special wire or connectors
• Bus-connected control devices are powered directly from the bus line using a 24VDC class 2 power supply
