What is BS EN 14908-1 - Communication protocol for networked control systems about?
BS EN 14908 is a series of European standards for open data transmission in building automation, control, and building management systems. BS EN 14908-1 is the first part of the multi-series standard that covers the data communications used for management, automation/control, and field functions.
BS EN 14908-1 applies to a communication protocol for networked control systems in commercial Building Automation, Controls, and Building Management. The protocol provides peer-to-peer communication for networked control and is suitable for implementing both peer-to-peer and master-slave control strategies.
BS EN 14908-1 describes services in layers 2 to 7. In the layer 2 (data link layer) specification, BS EN 14908-1 also describes the MAC sub-layer interface to the physical layer. The physical layer provides a choice of transmission media. The interface described in this specification supports multiple transmission media at the physical layer. In layer 7 specification, it includes a description of the types of messages used by applications to exchange application and network management data.
Who is BS EN 14908-1 - Communication protocol for networked control systems for?
BS EN 14908-1 on communication protocol for networked control systems is useful for:
- Engineers
- Internet protocols service providers
Why should you use BS EN 14908-1 - Communication protocol for networked control systems?
The protocol stack is used to allow the combination of different protocols that each set the boundaries for a number of network activities.
BS EN 14908-1 provides mechanisms through which various vendors of building automation, control, and building management systems may exchange information in a standardized way.
BS EN 14908-1 intended to be used by all involved in the design, manufacture, engineering, installation, and commissioning activities establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance and specifies all the information necessary to communication via internet protocol stack information over the services in layers 2 to 7.
BS EN 14908-1 specifies the protocol Stack provides peer-to-peer communication for networked control using web services to share files, share printers, create passwords, and do most of the things you do with a client/server network.
What is changed since the last update?
BS EN 14908-1:2014 supersedes BS EN 14908-1:2005 which is withdrawn. BS EN 14908-1:2014 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 14908-1:2005. These include:
- EN 14908-5 has been added to the normative references
- The normative Annex A has been re-worked for a better understanding. The reference implementation of the standard shows in detail which part is normative and hardware- independent, which one is normative but hardware-dependent and which one is not normative because it is hardware dependent. This information supports the development of a protocol stack and the understanding of the specified communication services
