SMI – Standard Motor Interface

The leading standard for motor control

SMI (Standard Motor Interface) is an open communication protocol specifically developed for automating sun shading systems. Unlike conventional motor systems, SMI enables bidirectional communication between motor and control system, ensuring optimized control, monitoring, and diagnostics.

The BREL Vestamatic Group is a leading provider of motors and control systems with SMI technology, with more than 100,000 SMI products successfully installed worldwide.

What is SMI?

SMI is a universal 5-core BUS system that connects motors and controls for shading and window applications.

This allows products from different manufacturers with SMI technology to be seamlessly combined.
SMI can also be easily integrated into building management systems and supports technologies such as KNX, LON, Modbus, BACnet, RS485, and RS232.
As a standard, it ensures supplier independence, future-proof IoT solutions, and installations with fewer components. SMI is the preferred choice for investors, architects, and consultants to meet the highest building standards worldwide.
