What is BS EN 14908-4 - Control Network Protocol - IP Communication about?
BS EN 14908-4 is part of a series of standards for open data transmission in building automation, control and in building management systems. BS EN 14908-4 covers the data communications used for management, automation/control and field functions.
BS EN 14908-4 specifies the transporting of the Control Network Protocol (CNP) packets for Commercial Building Automation, Controls, and Building Management over Internet Protocol (IP) networks using a tunnelling mechanism wherein the CNP packets are encapsulated within IP packets. It applies to both CNP nodes and CNP routers.
BS EN 14908-4 ensures interoperability between various CNP devices that wish to use IP networks to communicate using the CNP protocol.
Note: BS EN 14908-4 covers only how CNP packets are transported over IP channels. BS EN 14908-4 does not cover how CNP packets are routed between standard CNP channels and IP channels. BS EN 14908-4 is not intended to cover the lower layers (physical, MAC, and link layers) of either standard CNP or IP channels.
Who is BS EN 14908-4 - Control Network Protocol - IP Communication for?
BS EN 14908-4 on Control Network Protocol - IP Communication is useful for:
- Engineers
- Internet protocols service providers
- Communication media network providers
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 14908-4 - Control Network Protocol - IP Communication?
BS EN 14908-4 specifies the transporting of the Control Network Protocol (CNP) packets for Commercial Building Automation, Controls, and Building Management over Internet Protocol (IP) networks using a tunnelling mechanism wherein the CNP packets are encapsulated within IP packets.
BS EN 14908-4 provides mechanisms through which various vendors of building automation, control, and building management systems may exchange information in a standardized way. BS EN 14908-4 will be used by all involved in 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 protocols information over the services in layer 2 and layer 3.
BS EN 14908-4 specifies the protocol 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.
