Energy harvesting revolution: The new EnOcean Bluetooth® module for a wide range of ambient IoT applications
Groundbreaking energy harvesting for more efficiency
With the second generation of the Bluetooth® switching module PTM 216B, EnOcean presents a milestone in energy-efficient lighting control and ambient IoT. As the successor to the PTM 215B, it opens up an even wider range of possible applications for customers. The basis for this is the further development of the ECO 260 kinetic energy harvester. The combination of this innovative harvester with the latest generation system design offers more than double the radio transmission power compared to its predecessor, significantly increasing the usable communication distance. This enhancement expands the module’s application areas, including high-bay lighting control in warehouses and architectural projects with high ceilings.
The PTM 216B is characterized by its high flexibility during installation and repositioning. In modern office environments its wireless installation is perfect for adaptable floor plans and flexible walls, allowing easy repositioning to accommodate changing space requirements. The wireless energy harvesting concept significantly simplifies the installation process, making it more efficient and effortless.
NFC technology for seamless integration in ambient IoT
EnOcean devices, including the PTM 216B, can be quickly configured using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. NFC enables a connection between devices in close proximity, simplifying the setup process in the ambient IoT environment. This technology offers decisive advantages:
- Simple: No specialized qualifications required for setup
- Quick: Optimized installation time for efficient deployment
- Right First-time: Accurate configuration eliminates the need for site revisits
Versatile designs from the EnOcean partner network
The PTM 216B’s energy harvesting capabilities are available in diverse designs, thanks to the extensive EnOcean partner and OEM network. A wide variety of switch designs from global manufacturers ensures seamless integration into any environment, making the module ideal for various lighting control and building automation applications in ambient IoT. Official switch OEM partners feature the “Battery-free by EnOcean” brand, guaranteeing genuine energy harvesting technology and maintenance-free operation.
The PTM 216B represents a significant advancement in energy harvesting technology for ambient IoT and smart lighting control. By combining advanced NFC technology and improved energy harvesting system, it sets new standards in energy-efficient and flexible building automation.
