BS EN 14908-2:2014

Open Data Communication in Building Automation, Controls and Building Management. Control Network Protocol. Twisted Pair Communication | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This European Standard specifies the control network protocol (CNP) free-topology twisted-pair channel for networked control systems in commercial Building Automation, Controls and Building Management and is used in conjunction with EN 14908‑1:2014. The channel supports communication at 78,125 kbit/s between multiple nodes, each of which consists of a transceiver, a protocol processor, an application processor, a power supply, and application electronics. This European Standard covers the complete physical layer (OSI Layer 1), including the interface to the Media Access Control (MAC) sub-layer and the interface to the medium. Parameters that are controlled by other layers but control the operation of the physical layer are also specified.
