Hi Ned,In Germany we are interfacing our utility Systems mainly to Siemens-based protocols like Profibus or Siemens TCP, or Modbus or ... There are industry standards for Building Automation Systems such as,BACnet is THE future bus for utility installations. It will be the basis for several utility installation in the next project at DESY (PETRA-III upgrade). We are looking into the solution from Triumph and other possibilities. I am in favor of a dynamic matching of BACnet devices with EPICS records. BACnet devices have nearly the same properties like EPICS record fields. An IOC dynamically serving these devices would avoid to generate an EPICS database matching BACnet device properties to individual EPICS records. Mapping device/ property to record/field would be much more efficient... On our side you should also contact Olaf Krebs ([email protected]) - currently in vacation. -Matthias Did someone interface to something like "BACnet" or "LON Works" (i.e. an industry standard for "building automation and controls network")? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthias Clausen Cryogenic Controls Group(MKS-2) phone: +49-40-8998-3256 Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron fax: +49-40-8994-3256 Notkestr. 85 e-mail: [email protected] 22607 Hamburg WWW-MKS2.desy.de Germany ------------------------------------------------------------------------
