The way into the future. The EnOcean Standard for sustainable buildings. Energy-efficient. Interoperable. Practice-proven. Self-powered wireless technology from EnOcean. Everything else is prior art. ENOCEAN IS THE KEY TO INTELLIGENT GREEN BUILDINGS. Due to the unique combination of miniaturised energy converters with reliable radio technology, these wireless sensor networks operate for decades without maintenance, are flexible, and ensure cost reductions and energy savings in buildings and industrial installations alike: n Building automation optimizes energy savings and reduces operating costs lowering total cost of ownership. It furthermore, enhances security, protection and convenience. n Wireless radio technology is essential to the success of building automation. It permits the required number, functionality and flexibility of the necessary sensors. Radio technology minimizes installation times and reduces system costs. n No batteries is a mandatory requirement for larger installations. The cost to monitor, replace and recycle batteries increases with the number of installed nodes. Batteryless EnOcean radio solutions are eco-friendly, comply with the principles of building biology, and save key resources.

Self-powered Only EnOcean wireless technology supports batteryless and maintenance-free sensors that can be freely positioned: switches next to doors, temperature sensors at the workplace, and motion detectors in the middle of rooms. Compared to a wired solution, buildings can be planned, constructed and operated with greater flexibility and at lower cost. Sensors harvest energy from their surroundings – tiny changes in movement, pressure, light, temperature or vibration are all that is needed. Interoperable wireless standard Interoperable technology and products. HVAC&R, monitoring and lighting control systems are readily available and a wide-ranging portfolio of products exists, based on an interoperable standard technology together with interfaces to established automation solutions such as LON, KNX/EIB, BACnet and TCP/IP. Proven technology for sustainable buildings Tried and tested. EnOcean-enabled wireless networks have been installed in 10,000s of buildings; making it the most pervasive and field-tested wireless building automation standard in the world. From retrofitting older structures to designing new buildings, the EnOcean technology is empowering the imagination and energizing creativity; helping to make sustainable buildings a reality.

    Maintenance and Decoding of Field Buses

    MAINTENANCE AND DECODING OF FIELD BUSES Today, most of the electrical appliances that we use include internal electronics. These circuits often need to communicate via data buses, either with ancillary systems, such Maintenance as remote sensors, or with control systems. This is particularly true in industry, where a single PLC remotely manages multiple sensors and actuators. Formerly, communication with these buses took place via an analogue signal using the “4-20 mA” network. This communication mode had many disadvantages, including Measurements the need for extensive equipment and complex wiring, thus increasing the time required for installation. For this reason, digital communication standards have been developed and are now widely used to avoid these problems. “Fieldbus” is a general term which corresponds to a method of communication between different systems. There are many standards: those specific to manufacturers Analysis and those standardized according to the equipment involved. Here are a few examples of fieldbuses used in different sectors of activity: Diagnostics The example of the automotive sector The new means of intra-system communication have allowed This provides numerous advantages: developments in the systems.

    Bacnet Over KNX

    BACnet over KNX Wolfgang Granzer Wolfgang Kastner Automation Systems Group Institute of Automation Vienna University of Technology Treitlstraße 1-3, A-1040 Vienna, Austria {w,k} @ auto.tuwien.ac.at The Building Automation and Control Network Protocol (BACnet) has been devel- oped to provide a solution for building automation and control systems of all sizes and types. While BACnet specifies an application model as well as different routing services, the underlying network medium is not defined. BACnet messages can, in principle, be conveyed over any network. However, a number of network types are recommended in the BACnet standard. Since KNX with all its benefits has not been considered as a network medium for BACnet, we provide an approach that uses KNX TP 1 as network medium for BACnet. Additionally, a first proof-of-concept implementation is presented in this paper. 1 Introduction In [1], a standard model for all kinds of Building Automation Systems (BAS) is described. In this model, the system functionality is divided into three levels which are ordered hierarchically. At the field level, environmental data are measured and parameters of the environment are physically controlled. Automatic control is performed at the automation level whereas global configuration and managements tasks are realized at the management level. Nowadays, the standard three level functional hierarchy model can be implemented as a flatter, two-level architecture [2]. This is for two reasons. First, so called intelligent field devices incorporate more functionality than ordinary ones. Second, information technology (IT) and its infrastructure became accepted not only at the management level, but also at the automation level.

Sneak into buildings with KNXnet/IP Claire Vacherot∗, Orange Cyberdefense, 2020 Abstract. Building Management Systems (BMS) centralize and automate essential assets in a building. They are often linked to the LAN and sometimes reachable on the Internet, exposing building automation devices and network protocols that are usually not designed to handle cybersecurity issues. The paper focuses on the BMS protocol KNX, which has been left aside by the cybersecurity community so far. We discuss its technical details and the cybersecurity concerns raised by implementations. We provide a Python library to perform basic KNX discovery, communication operations and to write advanced testing scripts. We explain how to use it through fuzzing script examples. We hope that this library will be used to find and fix vulnerabilities in building management systems and as a handy tool for other research material on BMS protocols.
