The third Buildings under Control Symposium hosted by building automation systems specialist LOYTEC electronics, recently concluded in Vienna.
The event attracted numerous representatives and experts of the international building automation market from 20 different countries who were informed about the latest developments at LOYTEC by means of a presentation program and demonstrations of new products.
A presentation of the new L-ROC room automation system was given by the company’s technical mastermind Dr. Dietmar Loy, “We want to make your life as easy as possible”, Loy stated.
Continuing his demonstration with the “six steps to success“, Dr. Loy configured an L-ROC room automation system step by step. Subsequently the attendees could follow the creation of the automation of an entire office tower with 480 room axes. The presentation included a wall of 60 devices purposely built to enable the spectators to watch the process live.
Even before the projected system completion of 30 minutes was over, Dr. Loy could download the entire necessary programming into all of the Controllers. The product uses L-STUDIO software, which is type based and creates instances of room types. Through simple copying of these “basic modules“, complete programming of an entire office tower is done in a short amount of time with.
Other topics placed emphasis on the practical side. During the whole series of lectures throughout the first day of the symposium, various protocols were discussed; LON, BACnet, KNX, DALI, M-BUS, Modbus and ZigBee PRO all integrated in the L-INX Automation Server platforms.
“With the L-INX Automation Servers we provide a platform, which can efficiently integrate all the different protocols. We call this the ‘No Gateway Approach’ “, managing director DI Hans-Jörg Schweinzer commented.
The presentation of several case studies also contributed in forging a bridge from theory to practice.
