Energy management is no longer optional, it’s a core requirement in modern buildings. ABB KNX metering solutions provide precise, actionable insights that help optimise energy usage, reduce operational costs and support sustainability targets across residential, commercial and industrial installations.
ZS/S 1.1 – Meter Interface
The ZS/S 1.1 acts as a bridge between ABB din rail meters and the KNX system, enabling metering data to be seamlessly integrated into building automation. It converts electrical consumption data into KNX-compatible information, making energy usage visible and usable within the wider control ecosystem.
In a KNX system, it is typically deployed alongside ABB meters within distribution panels, where it feeds real-time energy data into visualisation platforms, logic controllers and energy management systems. This allows integrators to use live consumption data for reporting, monitoring and automation functions such as load shedding or energy optimisation strategies.
Key Highlights:
- Seamless integration with ABB energy meters
- Enables centralised energy monitoring via KNX
- Supports reporting for analytics and billing purposes
- Provides data for automation and control logic

EM/S3.16.1 – Energy Meter
The EM/S3.16.1 is a dedicated KNX energy meter designed to measure electrical consumption directly within the automation system. It provides accurate three-phase monitoring and communicates natively over KNX, removing the need for additional gateway devices or external metering platforms.
Within a KNX installation, it is installed in the electrical distribution board where it continuously measures energy usage and sends real-time data across the system. This enables immediate visibility of consumption patterns and allows the KNX logic engine to respond dynamically to load changes, peak demand, or inefficiencies.
Key Highlights:
- Measures three-phase energy consumption
- Coordinates up to 10 energy actuators for demand management and load shedding
- High-accuracy real-time monitoring with KNX alerts
- Eliminates reliance on external CMS systems

Summary – Smarter Energy with KNX
Together, the ZS/S 1.1 and EM/S3.16.1 enable KNX systems to deliver real-time energy visibility, reduce reliance on external monitoring platforms, and improve operational efficiency through integrated metering and automation-driven energy management.
