LOYTEC introduces Glass L-VIS Touch Panels
|
LOYTEC presents the new glass L-VIS devices with 7” and 15” display that come with frameless glass front and capacitive touch. The glass surface provides a high-quality, modern appearance. The capacitive touch sensor allows for operation without any pressure on the surface. Glass fronts for 15" devices can be ordered in silver, black, and white. The 7" touch panels are available in silver and black. Discover here the LOYTEC glass L-VIS Touch Panels for

New Release LWEB-803 Visualization
- LWEB-803 Visualization 2.0
The graphical user interface LWEB-800 is replaced by LWEB-803. LWEB-803 has been developed as a desktop version of the LWEB-802 web application and is based on the same source code. This has the advantage that the behavior of both versions of the visualization is identical and new features can be implemented faster.
New Release LIP-ME201
- LIP-ME201 Firmware 4.9.3 for LIP-ME201 BACnet Router
L-IOB IP Modules and Controllers from now on with Dual Ethernet
LOYTEC pushes communication via Ethernet/IP further into the field level. The LIOB-55x/58x family of products for BACnet/IP and the LIOB-45x/48x family of products for LON/IP are now equipped with two Ethernet ports and a built-in Ethernet switch. Up to twenty devices can be daisy-chained in an Ethernet ring this way. Cabling of the devices is easily done with prefabricated, cheap Ethernet patch wires – plug-in and done. The distance between two modules can amount up to 100 m. So the full extent of the ring can add up to 2,000 m.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Guarantees Security of Communication
The Ethernet ring ideally is connected with two separate Ethernet switches to the building network. It is important to utilize switches, which support the rapid spanning tree protocol RSTP. In case one of the devices in the ring fails or the Ethernet ring is broken – e.g. by unplugging an Ethernet cable – this is recognized by the Ethernet switches. The two resulting Ethernet segments now are operated separately by the two Ethernet switches. Communication between all still working devices is maintained.
Different Combinations of Devices in One Ethernet Ring
This concept is particularly advantageous when exclusively using LOYTEC devices with two Ethernet ports. Besides the already described L-IOB devices, this includes some versions of the L-INX Automation Servers, L-VIS Touch Panels, and L-DALI Controllers.
Ethernet Simple as a Bus Now
With this concept, the usage of Ethernet down to field level becomes highly attractive. In using prefabricated Ethernet patch cables, error sources tend to zero and costs remain comparable to bus cabling. The advantages of Ethernet/IP clearly prevail.
