| The functional scope of the GFR building system solutions encompass: | ||
 |
BACnetis a communication protocol for “Building Automation and Control Networks”. It is equally suitable for management and automation, particularly for HVAC, lighting control, security and fire alarm systems. Standardised transmission mediums are used to communicate, mainly Ethernet IP and MS/TP. |
|
 |
KNX (Konnex)stands for the intelligent integration of modern building services in accordance with EN 50090 and ISO/IEC 14543. KNX is used for decentralised networking between sensors and actuators. |
|
 |
DALI(Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a protocol for controlling lighting technology in building and room automation. |
|
 |
CAN-Bus(Controller Area Network) is an asynchronous, serial bus system and is a field bus. The CAN high-speed bus used within the DIGICONTROL systems is characterised, among others, by its enormous speed: The maximum data transfer speed is 1 Mbps. |
|
 |
LONMark(Local Operating Network) is used in integrated room automation systems for decentralised networking between sensors and actuators. |
|
 |
OPCis a standardised software interface that allows applications by different manufacturers to exchange data on Windows-based operating systems. |
|
 |
EnOceanGmbH develops and manufactures innovative, self-powered wireless sensor technology. Their wireless modules are usedby major manufacturers around the world for system solutions in buildings and industrial applications. |
|
 |
Modbusis an application protocol for exchanging messages between intelligent Modbus controllers, regardless of the network structure. |
|
 |
Profibus DP(Decentralised Peripherals) for controlling sensors and actuators by a centralised controller in manufacturing technology. You can achieve data transfer speeds up to 12 Mbps on twisted pair lines and / or optical fibre cables.) |
|
 |
MBus(Meter-Bus) is a field bus for collecting consumption data. |
|
 |
MP-Bus(Multi-Point) is a sensor/actuator bus for controlling HVAC actuators from the Belimo product portfolio. |
|
 |
Webservices, For example, for weather forecastA web service supports direct interaction with other software agents using XML-based messages exchanged with the help of Internet Protocols (IP). |
