Remote operation and remote visualization
In many cases, several locations need to be managed simultaneously. There are many such examples:
- Monitoring of cooling temperatures in several supermarkets or storage houses
- Monitoring of fans for failure
- Monitoring of temperature and dampness in several greenhouses.
It is now possible to carry out these monitoring tasks centrally over the Internet/Intranet from absolutely anywhere. This saves you human resources, time and money. And the Internet/Intranet is available everywhere. Commissioning is further facilitated by the fact that distributed locations can be configured identically.
The solution
The benefits
- Plants and locations can be remotely visualized, controlled and monitored over existing networks
- Simple commissioning thanks to options for identical configuration of different locations
Proceed as follows
- Connect one N 148/22 IP interface per location to the KNX
- Connect the N 148/22 IP interface to the LAN
- Configure the N 148/22 IP interface via the Intranet/Internet
- Define the N 148/22 IP interface in your visualization program/ETS3
You require the following
- N 148/22 IP interface (5WG1 148-1AB22), 1 per location
- 24 V power supply for N 148/22 IP interface
(e.g. 4AC2 402 Power over Ethernet, unchoked bus voltage) - IPAS ComBridge Studio visualization software(see Chapter "Display and Operation Units")
- ETS3 (current versionseehttp://www.knx.org)
Note:
LAN stands for Local Area Network. In LANs, data transport is organized over the IP (Internet Protocol) – the standard network protocol on the Internet.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you set up a secure subnetwork over an open, unsecured network (Internet, wireless network) by protecting all communication against access or being tapped into by unauthorized third parties. This is achieved by means of "tunneling" the data traffic over a VPN server, which means that any connections must be authenticated and that all data is also encoded.
