Open Data Communication in Building Automation, Controls and Building Management - Home and Building Electronic Systems - Part 2: KNXnet/IP Communication; German version EN 13321-2:2012
Offene Datenkommunikation für die Gebäudeautomation und Gebäudemanagement - Elektrische Systemtechnik für Heim und Gebäude - Teil 2: KNXnet/IP-Kommunikation; Deutsche Fassung EN 13321-2:2012
Overview
This standard is has been developed for the design of new buildings and the retrofit of existing buildings to achieve an acceptable indoor environment as well as practical energy conservation and efficiency. This standard specifies the integration of KNX protocol implementations within the Internet Protocol (IP) named KNXnet/IP. Moreover, it specifies a standard protocol, which is implemented within KNX devices, ETS (Engineering Tool Software) and other implementations to support KNX data exchange over IP networks. In essence, KNXnet/IP provides a general framework, which accommodates several specialised "Service Protocols" in a modular and extendible fashion. The KNXnet/IP standard consists of the following clauses: - clause 1, Overview; - clause 2, Core Specification; - clause 3, Device Management, - clause 4, Tunnelling - clause 5, Routing; - clause 6, Remote Diagnosis and Configuration. Widespread deployment of data networks using the Internet Protocol (IP) presents an opportunity to expand building control communication beyond the local KNX control bus, allowing for the following: - remote configuration; - remote operation (including control and annunciation); - fast interface from LAN to KNX and vice versa; - WAN connection between KNX systems (where an installed KNX system is at least one line). This document (EN 13321-2:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 247 "Building Automation, Controls and Building Management", the secretariat of which is held by SNV (Switzerland). The committee responsible for the German version is Working Committee NA 041-03-68 AA "Gebäudeautomation und -kommunikation (SpA CEN/TC 247/WG 4)" ("Building automation and communication (Mirror committee CEN/TC 247/WG 4)") of the Standards Committee for Heating and Ventilation (NHRS).
