LonMark International releases v14.00 resource files for BAS interoperability
LonMark® International has released LonMark Resource Files version 14.00, providing extensive new enhancements to the LonMark interoperability standards. This set of files is a combination of standardized network-oriented data types and device-oriented configuration-property types for industries such as facility automation, home automation, locomotive controls/monitoring, and indoor/outdoor lighting.
Standardized data types are important because integrators cannot seamlessly connect two devices without the data types being the same (e.g., temperature-to-temperature, pressure-to-pressure). LonMark Resource Files also define the units of the information being carried across the network – like Celsius for temperatures – regardless of the units shown on a user panel.
