1.1 What is L-VIS?
L-VIS is a highly flexible and easy to configure device to display and control data in
BACnet and CEA-709 networks. The L-VIS configuration software can be run as a
standalone program as well as an LNS
®
plug-in and supports the use of both static and
dynamic network variables in a project to allow easy integration in any kind of CEA-709
network.
The key features of the L-VIS device family are:
ï‚· Simple, graphical programming via the supplied configuration software.
ï‚· Support for alarming, scheduling and trending.
ï‚· Direct interface to one or more LINX automation servers via OPC XML-DA.
Available data points on the servers are easily imported for use in the LVIS
project from the corresponding LINX project files.
ï‚· Support for Modbus/TCP in master or slave mode and in parallel to OPC and the
control network interface (BACnet or CEA709, depending on the model).
ï‚· Support for international projects by using UCS-2 encoding, a character set
defined by the Unicode standard (ISO-10646), which covers the entire basic
multilingual plane (BMP) and allows text in any language to be displayed.
