Maen Sirhan — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:35:51 +0000

The KNX-Interface LKNX‑300 allows the L‑INX Automation Servers, the L‑ROC Room Controllers, and the L‑GATE Universal Gateways to interface to KNX devices connected to a KNX TP1 Bus. The LKNX‑300 Interface needs to be connected to the EXT-Port on the L‑INX/L‑ROC/L‑GATE devices.

For the KNX integration, LOYTEC’s L‑INX/L‑ROC/L‑GATE devices use an ETS4/ETS5 project. The project data is exported from the ETS4/ETS5 software and then imported in the LOYTEC L‑INX Configurator. Thus, up to 250 or 1 000 data points from the KNX network can be used by the L‑INX/ L‑ROC/ L‑GATE devices on each port supporting KNXnet/ IP or KNX TP1.

Features

KNX TP1 Interface for L‑INX, L‑ROC, and L‑GATE

L‑SMI Standard Motor Interface

Maen Sirhan — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:34:17 +0000

SMI is the acronym for Standard Motor Interface. SMI is a bus protocol used to control SMI sunblind motors for shading. Up to 16 motors can be connected to the bus. The L-SMI interface connects an SMI bus to a L‑INX, L‑ROC, or L‑DALI controller. Two SMI interface models are available.

The LSMI-800 connects a single SMI channel with up to 16 SMI motors to the EXT port of the L‑INX or L‑ROC controller. The bus power for the SMI bus is provided by the LSMI-800 interface but it is not galvanically isolated. Only SMI high voltage motors may be connected to the LSMI-800 interface.

The LSMI-804 connects up to four SMI channels with up to 64 SMI motors to the USB port of the L‑INX, L‑ROC, or L‑DALI controller. A galvanically isolated bus power for the SMI bus is provided by the LSMI-804 interface. Hence SMI high voltage or SMI low voltage motors may be connected to the LSMI-804 interfaces but high voltage and low voltage motors must not be mixed on one LSMI-804 interface. In addition to the four SMI bus channels, the LSMI-804 offers four relays controlled by the L‑INX, L‑ROC, or L‑DALI controller. Each relay can be used to cut power for the SMI motors on one channel if the motors are standing still. Cutting power when the motors are not moving reduces power consumption for SMI sunblind installations by more than 140 kWh per year for every channel.

Features

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.

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).

The L-INX Automation Servers LINX-102 and LINX-103 (successors of LINX-100, LINX-101) can host user specific graphical pages for the visualization of information from LonMark systems via LWEB-900 (Building Management) or LWEB-802/803. They can integrate physical I/Os through L-IOB I/O Modules via LIOB-Connect, LIOB-FT, or LIOB-IP. Local operation and override is provided by the built-in jog dial and the backlit display (128×64 pixels). Device and data point information is shown on the display via symbols and in text format.

LonMark Systems can be integrated via IP-852 (Ethernet/‌IP) or TP/‌FT‑10. In addition, the Automation Servers provides connectivity to concurrently integrate KNX, Modbus, and M-Bus and connect as a gateway data points of different technological origin. Optionally, mathematical objects can be applied within a connection to calculate the data point output values depending on the formula used. Depending on the type, the Automaton Servers feature an integrated Remote Network Interface (LINX-102) or an integrated IP-852 router providing the complete feature set of corresponding L-IP devices (LINX-103).

The gateway functionality allows data communication between all communication technologies available on the device. Different technology data points are mapped through Local Connections on the device. The mapping of different technology data points on distributed devices is supported by Global Connections. L-INX Automation Servers also support Smart Auto-Connect – the automatic generation of connections to substantially reduce engineering efforts and cost. All technology data points are automatically created as OPC XML-DA and OPC UA data points.

Each L-INX Automation Server 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) while the second port can be configure to be connected to an insecure network (LAN) where the standard building automation protocols like BACnet/‌IP, LON/‌IP, or Modbus TCP 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.

The IP switch also allow 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.

The L-INX devices provide fully featured AST functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L-WEB System.

IoT Integration

The IoT function (Node.js) allows connecting the system to almost any cloud service, either for uploading historical data to analytics services, delivering alarm messages to alarm processing services or operating parts of the control system over a cloud service (e.g., scheduling based on Web calendars or booking systems). Processing Internet information such as weather data in forecast-based control is also possible. Finally, the JavaScript kernel also allows implementing serial protocols to non-standard equipment in primary plant control.
