Applications Of Knx Logging Section

Decent Essays

In keeping with the above requirements and considering the findings of the Current
Applications of KNX Logging section (p. 10), having a separate logging service and user interface seems the most logical solution. Separating the GUI and the logger would allow for the KNX bus to be logged with a background process, rather than require an application to be running in the foreground when logging.
Figure 2.3-1 illustrates the overall solution proposed in this section. The diagram shows the KNX network, the KNX to serial module, the host server, the logging service, the database, the user interface and finally the user; it illustrates how these components of the logger system will interact with each other.

In this proposal, a basic KNX network has been developed with various actuators and sensors. The sensors are more important in the example network as these are the modules from which the telegrams to be recorded originate. The KNX bus has a KNX to PC module which connects the KNX network to a computer, these sorts of module will be discussed in greater depth later but generally are used to connect a KNX network to another device via USB in order to configure or otherwise manipulate the KNX network.
The KNX to PC module connects the KNX network to a server. The server hosts the logging service which is used to record all information on the KNX bus in a data store. In Figure 2.3-1 the data store is shown to be hosted on the server as well, however this is something which may
