LOYTEC L-INX - Bacnet

L-INX User Manual 19 LOYTEC
Version 4.0 LOYTEC electronics GmbH
CEA-709 configured router or it can be used as a self-learning plug&play router based on
the high-performance, well-proven routing core from our L-Switch plug&play multi-port
router devices (―smart switch mode‖). The self-learning router doesn‘t need a network
management tool for configuration but is a true plug&play and easy to use IP infrastructure
component. For a detailed description of the CEA-709 router‘s usage refer to the L-IP User
Manual [1].
The CEA-709 L-INX without the router option can be configured to run either on the
CEA-852 interface (IP-852 mode) or on the FT interface (FT mode). In the FT mode, the
device provides a remote network interface (RNI), which appears like a LOYTEC NIC-IP is
intended to be used together with the LOYTEC NIC software [3]. The RNI can be utilized
for remote access and configuration as well as trouble-shooting with the remote LPA. Please
consult our product literature for the LPA-IP to learn more about this IP-based CEA-709
protocol analyzer.
The CEA-709 technology in the L-INX allows for:
 Exposing CEA-709 network variables (NVs) and configuration properties (CPs) as data
points to the automation server,
 supporting standard (SNVT, SCPT) and user-defined (UNVT, UCPT) types,
 scheduling CEA-709 network variables,
 generating alarms over the LONMARK node object,
 CEA-709 PC applications (as a CEA-709 network interface),
 remote LPA functionality,
 communicating on CEA-709 with either FT or IP-852 (IP channel on the
Intranet/Internet),
 connecting an FT channel to a high-performance backbone using existing IP infra-
structure,
 operating as a configuration server for IP-852 devices with the router option.
1.3 BACnet
L-INX automation server models that have BACnet are equipped with an MS/TP port and a
100Base-T Ethernet port (BACnet/IP). BACnet L-INX models with the router option also
contain a BACnet router between the MS/TP and the BACnet/IP ports, which can be
configured like an LIP-ME201. The router models also include a BACnet broadcast
management device (BBMD) to manage BACnet/IP internetworks, which span across IP
routers. BACnet models without the router can register as a foreign device (FD) with other
BBMDs. The device is fully compliant with ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2008 (1.5) and ISO
16484-5. Please refer to Table 1 to learn, which L-INX models have BACnet and the router
option.
The BACnet L-INX exposes BACnet server objects and client mappings to data points of
the automation server. For client mappings, the BACnet address information is supplied by
the configuration software by importing e.g., a CSV file or by performing an online network
scan.
The BACnet L-INX models also support the LOYTEC Alarming, Scheduling and Trending
(AST) features in native BACnet objects. The device provides BACnet scheduler/calendar
objects, which can directly schedule BACnet server objects, remote BACnet objects or non-
BACnet registers. For alarm conditions the device supports the intrinsic reporting method of
BACnet objects. Trend logs can be uploaded from the device via the native BACnet read
range.
