Fig. 3.2.6.6: SMI cabling <strong>and</strong> basic concept (58)<br />
SMI Group<br />
SMI Group is today (autumn 2009) much smaller than <strong>for</strong> example the OpenTherm<br />
Association, DALI Group or EnOcean Alliance, but is still growing. Group consists of 7 base<br />
members (Becker Antriebe GmbH, elero GmbH, Griesser Electronic AG, SELVE GmbH & Co.<br />
KG <strong>and</strong> Alcatel-Lucent Deutschl<strong>and</strong> AG), which own the br<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> finance the SMI<br />
development. Then there are 11 SMI Partners (license holders – <strong>for</strong> example ABB, WAGO,<br />
Insta…), which are producing <strong>and</strong> selling SMI compatible drives <strong>and</strong> control units. The last<br />
part of the SMI Group is SMI Supporters, which are supporting the development of the SMI<br />
(4 companies).<br />
One of interesting applications of the SMI protocol is a sun protection system in the new<br />
opera building in Oslo based on SMI drives.<br />
