Overview
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 sig-
naled 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 148/21 IP interface per location to the KNX
• Connect the N 148/21 IP interface to the LAN
• Configure the N 148/21 IP interface over the Intranet/Internet
• Define the N 148/21 IP interface in your visualization
program/ETS3
You require the following:
• N 148/21 IP interface (5WG1 148-1AB21), 1 per location
• 24 V power supply for N 148/21 IP interface
(e.g. 4AC2 402)
• IPAS ComBridge Studio visualization software
(see chapter "Display, Operation")
• ETS3 (current version see http://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.
