Enhanced plant availability due to early fault detection
Whether dealing with a lamp failure in depots or offices, a drop in pressure in filters or pump failure - automated plants in distributed locations are constantly subject to possible faults/malfunctions. The earlier such faults are detected, the less costly they are to remedy. If such plants are being controlled with GAMMA instabus and are connected over LAN/IP, these types of fault indications can be forwarded over the Internet. A fast response means that the functionality of the plant is quickly restored and costs are kept to a minimum.
The solution
The benefits
- Central solution for distributed locations
- Fast forwarding of fault indications
- Fast responses mean less damage
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.
