Overview
Enhanced plant availability due to early fault detection
Whether dealing with a lamp failure in depots or offices, a
drop in pressure in filters, or pump failure - automated plants
in distributed locations are constantly subject to possible
faults/malfunctions. The earlier such faults are detected, the less
costly they are to remedy. If such plants are being controlled with
GAMMA
instabus
and are connected over LAN/IP, these types
of fault indications can be forwarded over the Internet. A fast
response means that the functionality of the plant is quickly re-
stored and costs are kept to a minimum.
The solution:
The benefits:
• Central solution for distributed locations
• Fast forwarding of fault indications
• Fast responses mean less damage
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.
