LPA Protocol Analyzer

Maen Sirhan — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:26:43 +0000

The LOYTEC Protocol Analyzer (LPA) for LonMark Systems captures all data packets on CEA‑709 or IP-852 networks and displays all recorded packets on a PC screen. The LPA software provides a comprehensive set of functions and methods to view, filter, and analyze data packets down to bit level.

The long time recording capability helps to find even intermittent faults on the network. When the system is configured by an LNS based tool, the LPA software can browse the database in order to display the node and network variable names. Together with all LOYTEC devices featuring a Remote Network Interface (RNI), the LPA software can record packets even from remote twisted-pair channels.

With a single mouse-click, the built-in report function creates reports (text files) showing the health condition of the investigated channel and gives hints and tips on how to solve problems on this channel.

The intuitive and easy-to-use LPA software runs on all LOYTEC network interfaces. On the NIC852 network interfaces, it supports the remote LPA functionality. Each LPA-SW license must be registered for one LOYTEC NIC.

LOYTEC NICs are the most universal network interfaces for CEA‑709 and IP-852 (Ethernet/‌IP) channels. Based on LOYTEC’s Core Technologies, they offer high packet rates and short response times. All NICs are fully compatible with products like NL220, ALEX, LonMaker®, and other LNS® applications. The NICs are also compatible with NodeUtil32, NLUtil, OPC servers, and high performance ORION applications.

The multiplexed network interface (MNI) support allows starting multiple LNS® or MIP applications to run in parallel with an LPA on a single network interface.

The built-in VPN function provides for simple VPN setup and secure access to remote sites. The LTE-800 interface enables wireless access to remote sites through a mobile carrier.

L-IP Router BACnet

Maen Sirhan — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:23:39 +0000

The LIP-ME201C, LIP-ME202C, and LIP-ME204C BACnet/‌IP Routers connect BACnet MS/‌TP channels to a BACnet/‌IP network. The BACnet routers are compliant with the standards ASHRAE 135‑2012 and ISO 16484‑5:2012. The routers can be configured to act as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD). The L-IP BACnet/‌IP Routers also provide Foreign Device support and BACnet/SC.

The BACnet router can act as a BACnet Time Master and as a BACnet MS/‌TP Slave Proxy. Extended features like the optional write protection of the BDT, a BACnet/‌IP Access Control List (ACL), and a simple communications test for BBMD help to locate issues on the network. The BACnet router also features remote MS/‌TP data packet capturing. BACnet MS/‌TP data packets are captured by the device and can be analyzed using Wireshark (free Protocol Analyzer, www.wireshark.org). Wireshark can either connect to the L-IP online or the capture file is loaded from the L-IPs web server and analyzed offline in Wireshark.

The entire device configuration of the BACnet router is done via the built-in web server, optionally also secured via HTTPS protocol. The BACnet router is BTL tested and WSPcert certified as BACnet Application Specific Controller (B-ASC).

Each L-IP BACnet/‌IP Router is equipped with two Ethernet ports. It can either be configured to use the internal switch to interconnect the two ports or every port is configured to work in a separate IP network.

When the Ethernet ports are configured for two separate IP networks, one port can be connected for instance to a WAN (Wide Area Network) with enabled network security (HTTPS) and BACnet/SC while the second port can be configured to be connected to an insecure network (LAN) where the standard building automation protocols like BACnet/‌IP are present. These devices also feature firewall functionality of course to isolate particular protocols or services between the ports. The built-in VPN function provides for simple VPN setup and secure access to remote sites. The LTE-800 interface enables wireless access to remote sites through a mobile carrier.

Using the internal switch, a daisy chained line topology of up to 20 devices can be built, which reduces costs for network installation. The IP switch also allows the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.

L-IP Router CEA-709

The L-IP Routers LIP‑1ECTC, LIP‑3ECTC, LIP‑33ECTC, and LIP‑3333ECTC connect twisted pair channels (TP/‌FT‑10 or TP/‌XF‑1250) with the Ethernet/‌IP channel (IP‑852) in LonMark Systems. L-IP routes CEA‑709 packets through an IP based network such as a LAN (Ethernet), an Intranet, or even the Internet. In order to provide optimal router configurations, the L-IP is available in four different versions providing either 4 x TP/FT‑10, 2 x TP/FT‑10, 1 x TP/FT10, or 1 x TP/XF‑1250. Every L-IP supports the operating modes “Smart Switch Mode” and “Configured Router Mode”.

For an easy integration on the IP side, the L-IP provides a Web interface. On L-IP Routers LIP‑1ECTC, LIP‑3ECTC, LIP‑33ECTC, and LIP‑3333ECTC the Web interface can also be used via an encrypted HTTPS connection. Through this Web interface, the built-in CEA-852 Configuration Server can be switched on and configured. The Configuraton server is thus always available online in the network and no additional software tool is required.

Besides the router functionality, the L-IP Routers provide outstanding capabilities for network diagnostic and analysis. They allow the LPA (LOYTEC Protocol Analyzer) transparent access to the twisted pair channels (TP/‌FT-10 or TP/XF-1250) on the device via Ethernet/‌IP – via a local Intranet or the Internet. This allows a fast analysis of data communication and reduces time-consuming troubleshooting. All system registers are available as OPC XML‑DA and OPC UA data points.

The L-IP Routers LIP‑1ECTC, LIP‑3ECTC, LIP‑33ECTC, and LIP‑3333ECTC are equipped with two Ethernet ports. It can either be configured to use the internal switch to interconnect the two ports or every port is configured to work in a separate IP network.

When the Ethernet ports are configured for two separate IP networks, one port can be connected for instance to a WAN (Wide Area Network) with enabled network security (HTTPS) while the second port can be configured to be connected to an insecure network (building LAN) where the standard building automation protocols are present (e.g. IP-852). These devices also feature firewall functionality, of course to isolate particular protocols or services between the ports. The built-in VPN function provides for simple VPN setup and secure access to remote sites. The LTE-800 interface enables wireless access to remote sites through a mobile carrier.
