Integration with third party visualization - Adam - 19.11.2014 Hello, Does anyone tried to integrate LCN with third party visualization? How Can I construct control commands and send them to LCN? Which format of external commands sending by TCP/IP is accepting by LCN-PCHK? Maybe better way is try to use OPC-Server? Regards Adam - HSZ - 20.11.2014 LCN-PCHK use own commands, called LCN-PCK. With PCK commands you can controll all LCN-Modules. Instead, you can use the LCN-GVS with the Extension for Bacnet, Modbus or OPC. If you have experience with OPC, may be it is the better way to use the OPC-Server in the LCN-GVS. - imhofa - 20.11.2014 Hello, for using a third party visualization, in my opinion LCN-GVS and OPC-Server is not the best solution, because GVS is then only used as "coupling device". The documentation of the PCK commands are not part of the LCN-PCHK. What are the requirements to get the documentation of the PCK? Andreas - HSZ - 20.11.2014 It is right, the LCN-GVS is in this case only the couple-device. But, if: - the electrician have experiance with OPC - the third-party visualisation understand OPC - the project is a big building with many modules like a office-tower, no family home - the electrician has no experiance in programming then it is the better way to use the LCN-GVS. The costs in hard- and software is higher, but they can saved by the programming. Should it a @home-solution, made as a hobby, or has the customer good experiance in programming many systems, so the LCN-PCHK is probadly the better way. But, if we dont know the basics in this project, we can't decide, what here the better solution is. |
