Demand-oriented maintenance through remote signaling
Some distributed locations need to be regularly checked for specific states and maintained accordingly. For example, the states of oil tanks in distributed apartment houses, or the operating hours of consumers. These states can now be signaled centrally at any location of your choice. This dispenses with the need for inspections and maintenance at regular intervals, for example, oil tanks in distributed apartment houses only need to be topped up when necessary. And the fact that this method of operation even permits consumers to wait for favourable oil prices is just one further advantage.
The solution
The benefits
- Central status signaling of distributed locations
- Lower maintenance costs
- Optimization of maintenance costs
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.
