4.5 Integration with Scalibur and Niagara Framework
The Niagara framework contains many communication protocols, which are
automatically available in the Scalibur, too:
BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP (only at COM1 and COM2), LonWorks IP852, LonMark
TP/FT-10 (only SCA-340-L), Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, M-Bus, KNX/IP, SNMP,
oBIX, Sedona and many more. Data points from different sources can be integrated
and connected using these communication protocols. Niagara offers a rich set of
processing and system functions, like trend log, alarming, scheduling, web
visualization, report generators, and interfaces to e-mail, SMS, data bases and
other. All the engineering is done with a single tool – Workbench.
4.5.1 Local IO Access
The components of the module sysmikScaIo allow to access the IO terminals. This
follows consequently the approach of the Niagara Driver Framework (Network –
Device – Point): SysMikScaNetwork – Terminals – Data points (IO channel).
From the Driver Manager, the default view of Station
Config
Drivers, a
SysmikScaIoNetwork is created via New.
In the N Device Manager, the default view of the SysmikScaIoNetwork, the
connected terminals can be detected via Discover. The detected terminals can be
inserted to the station via Add.
