The Spanish company Idemo Motors, specialized in the manufacture and distribution of motors and automation for solar protection and enclosure, presented at the end of 2018 the IDX-PRO motor for adjustable blinds. This is the latest product launched on the market within the Idemax range., a family of products designed to optimize the operation of special blinds (adjustable shutters for tilters, adjustable by gravity, stackable, microperforadas, etc.).
The IDX-PRO engine, like the rest of the Idemax family products, It has been developed and is manufactured in Spain, and is available in different versions to provide solutions for different types of adjustable blinds. Continuing with the line of Idemo Motors products, The IDX-PRO is a motor designed for a simple and practical installation for the professional, and comfortable and intuitive use for the end user. Particularly noteworthy is the ease of configuration, with very few steps to record the end of career (double tap on top, double press on the lower one and double press on the tilt). Modifying positions is equally easy., since two presses are enough to reset any of them.
One of the strong points of the engine is its full integration with the KNX home automation standard.. This is the leading protocol in wired home automation for the control of homes and buildings., covering blinds control, lightning, security systems, heating, water control, etc. Therefore, The integration of Idemo's IDX-Pro engine into KNX allows devices from different manufacturers from other sectors to be combined, together with Idemo motors and automations, guaranteeing total interoperability and interworking.
From the KNX monitors installed in the home, or from mobile devices that are configured, you can control the orientation of the blinds, take them to predefined points (whether they are adjustable blinds or not) and integrate them into the scenes created for the entire installation.
IDX-PRO Engine Features
- Redundant eeprom memory structure: important data is copied to 2 sections of the eeprom memory to replace the data of the main one in case it becomes corrupted.
- quadrature encoder: The encoder measures the parameters to maintain a high degree of precision in the position of the blind and the orientation. Besides, detects a possible malfunction and stops the engine if necessary.
- Compatible with the KNX protocol for adjustable blinds, through integrators.
- Adjustment of the slat position in a single step Easy-teach.
- Simultaneous operation via cable (button) and via radio without the need for external automation.

Perfect combination with Idemax modules
The IDX-PRO engine, as a product of the Idemax family, combines perfectly with Idemax modules. This provides total integration in the same installation of the different blind systems that exist on the market.. It can be combined without any problem with simple roller blinds., microperforated blinds, adjustable shutters, exterior venetian blinds, etc. and activate them as a group or individually.
Currently the range is made up of the following modules, that are combined in the same installation:
- IDX-ST01: para standard shutter, with intermediate ventilation position function and activation by push button and/or control.
- IDX-SU01, SG01 y OR01: for adjustable shutters, with programmable ventilation position and activation by push button and/or control.
- IDX-ME01: for stackable blinds, with programmable ventilation position and activation by push button and/or control.
- IDX-ST02: centralization module for the control of different groups of motorized blinds with IDX and installed in a demotic network, that allows control of these in groups, plants etc., via push buttons, remote control or application from PC or smartphone.
The modules, besides, thanks to potential-free contact, can be connected to alarm systems (such as fire alarms or burglar alarms) and programmed to act in a certain way when they are triggered. This makes the modules a very interesting system to install., both in homes and other buildings, as well as in small public buildings, For example, multideportivo.
