Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) -- Technical Report 10: Interfaces - Medium interface, Twisted Pair, Class 1

This Technical Report specifies the Medium Interface Twisted Pair of the Home and Building Electronic System (HBES) including the mechanical, functional and electrical characteristics. NOTE: Since no unique standard can be derived from the current available systems, the three European implementations BatiBUS, EIbus, EHS, will be presented as three options in this Technical Report.

Overview

R205-010:1996 - Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) Technical Report 10 - defines the Medium Interface: Twisted Pair, Class 1 for HBES. Published by CLC, this Technical Report specifies the mechanical, functional and electrical characteristics of the twisted‑pair medium interface used in home and building control systems. Because multiple European implementations existed at the time, the report presents three implementation options (BatiBUS, EIbus, EHS) rather than a single mandatory physical standard.

Keywords: HBES, Home and Building Electronic Systems, twisted pair, medium interface, Class 1, BatiBUS, EIbus, EHS, CLC.

Key Topics

• Scope and intent: Defines the role of the twisted‑pair medium interface within HBES networks and its intended Class 1 application domain.
• Mechanical characteristics: Connector types, cabling topology and installation considerations for a twisted‑pair medium (general requirements; detailed vendor implementation options are provided rather than a unique prescription).
• Functional characteristics: Signal timing, addressing model interactions and interface behavior expected between HBES devices (conceptual functional requirements without mandating a single system architecture).
• Electrical characteristics: Voltage levels, signaling characteristics and line-driving requirements as applicable to Class 1 twisted‑pair implementations (specified for each of the three options presented).
• Multiple implementation options: Description and comparison of the three European implementations - BatiBUS, EIbus, EHS - allowing manufacturers and integrators to choose a compliant option that matches legacy systems or product plans.

Applications

• Product design: Manufacturers of HBES devices (controllers, sensors, actuators, gateways) use the report to design hardware that interoperates over twisted‑pair media.
• System integration: Building automation integrators reference the interface characteristics when planning wiring, topology and device placement for Class 1 HBES installations.
• Specification and procurement: Project owners and specifiers use the Technical Report to define acceptance criteria for equipment and cabling in residential and light‑commercial automation projects.
• Migration and interoperability: Useful for organizations consolidating or bridging legacy BatiBUS/EIbus/EHS installations to newer HBES architectures.

Who Should Use This Standard

• HBES device manufacturers and hardware engineers
• Building automation consultants and integrators
• Test labs and conformity assessment bodies
• Procurement teams and specification writers in residential and building automation projects

Related Standards

• Other HBES Technical Reports and interface documents addressing alternate media and classes
• National and European wiring, EMC and electrical safety standards relevant to installation and compliance

This Technical Report is primarily a practical guidance and harmonization resource for twisted‑pair HBES implementations, helping stakeholders select and implement one of the established European options while ensuring mechanical, functional and electrical compatibility.
