EIBSight Data Warehouse stores all of the information which takes place on your EIB/KNX network remotely over the internet or your intranet. It can accumulate data over multiple gateways or multiple installations allowing you to view exactly what is happening in your installation.
The possible uses for EIBSight Data Warehouse are as numerous as there are EIB/KNX products. And with PLC, you can get additional information from production floors or other information external to the bus.
A few sample applications where EIBSight can be used:
Modern buildings and residences using EIB technology have quite frequently been called "intelligent" or "smart". But it simply in most cases just isn't true.
Building control systems are in the most cases just that - they allow you to turn the light on, turn on or off the heat or maybe even close the shades automatically depending on the sunlight. There might even be some pretty neat programming behind the automation which react to a number of input values. However these actions, whether the result of EIB programming or the intelligent within a visualization tool, doesn't compensate for the lack of two things. Experience and learning from the experience - a key requirement for intelligence.
EIBSight can help you address those two issues. EIBSight will give you insight into your EIB installation and through the accumulated data you will be able to see the experience your building has gone through and learn from this information.
With this knowledge, you will be able to react and adjust the EIB to meet your needs -regardless whether it is heating, cooling, production, run times, maintenance and so forth.
Armed with EIBSight, you will put the "intelligent" into the building. Finally.
knappmedien is pleased to annouce Version 1.0 of eibSight DataWarehouse, the integrated data management solution for EIB/KNX Control Networks.
Even in medium-sized EIB installations, enormous amounts of data is generated and transported and discarded! This data, instead of being used to optimize heating and cooling systems, shade control or to gain valuable insight into production information generally is discarding after the data, called a telegram in EIB/KNX jargon, has performed it's task - whether dimming lights, turning on the heat or controlling the RPM of a motor.
With eibSight DataWarehouse, losing critical information about your EIB Installation is a thing of the past. eibSight DataWarehouse acts as a EIB historian, recording every telegram which is sent on the EIB - or only the telegrams you want to see. This information is recorded not only as actual-time data, but also in more readily usable format adjusted to fit hours, days and months - thereby reducing the "chatter" and allowing you to make use of the information.
Key features:
With support for the ETS, eibSightDatahouse allows you to easily import your project information. Further, each group address can be reconfigured within eibSight DataWarehouse to be interpreted differently.
