Overview
Remote operation and remote visualization
In many cases, several locations need to be managed
simultaneously. There are many such examples:
• Monitoring of cooling temperatures in several supermarkets or
storage houses
• Monitoring of fans for failure
• Monitoring of temperature and dampness in several
greenhouses.
It is now possible to carry out these monitoring tasks centrally
over the Internet/Intranet from absolutely anywhere. This saves
you human resources, time and money. And the Internet/Intranet
is available everywhere. Commissioning is further facilitated by
the fact that distributed locations can be configured identically.
The solution:
The benefits:
• Plants and locations can be remotely visualized, controlled
and monitored over existing networks
• Simple commissioning thanks to options for identical
configuration of different locations
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.
