L-VIS Touch Panels for LonMark, BACnet, and Modbus networks are ideally suited for visualization and operation of various applications in building automation. L-VIS Touch Panels visualize building systems, can be used as room operator panels, in hospital operation or isolation rooms, conference and reception areas. The fully customizable user screens can show dynamic pages that are easy to navigate. L-VIS Touch Panels make use of an extremely low power embedded controller platform and operating system. This makes L-VIS resistant against problems when re-booting after power outage and also against any viruses.
L-VIS impresses with its timeless design, harmonic integration into modern and historical architecture, and with its extremely user friendly concept. The shallow installation depth and low thermal power loss allow mounting in almost any location.

Dynamic Graphical Pages
The graphical pages may consist of multiple dynamic graphical controls that show the current plant status in real time. It is also possible to access decentralized schedules, alarm servers, or trends. The graphical projects are designed with the L-VIS/L-WEB configuration tool free of charge. Without any know-how in HTML or Java, user specific graphical pages can be created. Dynamic information is shown through value or text controls, changing symbols, bar charts, trend views, alarm and event lists, or schedule controls. The L-VIS/L-WEB configuration tool allows for using most of the pixel graphic formats (GIF, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, APNG, MNG, ICO), vector graphics (SVG) and alpha blending.
Playback of Audio Files and Streams
The L-VIS Touch Panel supports the playback of stereo MP3, WAV, and MP3 streams (for example webradio). The playback will be started or stopped by the respective action object. The action object is linked to one of the available audio files or to the URL of an MP3 stream. When accessing a playback via LWEB‑802 or LWEB‑803, it will be executed locally on the client.
Automatic Page Generation
Pages including data point names and values, alarm views, schedules or trends can be created automatically by the L-VIS/L-WEB configuration tool. This significantly reduces engineering time and cost.
Connectivity and Data Points
The L-VIS Touch Panels support connectivity to LonMark Systems and BACnet networks. In addition, the Touch Panels provide communication to Modbus either as Master or Slave. For this purpose, Modbus TCP is supported exclusively and Modbus RTU is available via the RS‑485 terminal.
L-VIS Touch Panels communicate with LonMark Systems via IP-852 (Ethernet/IP) or TP/FT‑10 channels. The integrated remote network interface (Ethernet/IP) provides remote access to the TP/FT‑10 channel for configuration, service and maintenance purposes.
In addition, the L‑VIS Touch Panels provide connectivity to Modbus TCP via Ethernet/IP.
BACnet networks are connected via BACnet/IP, BACnet/SC or BACnet MS/TP. The L-VIS Touch Panels implement the BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) profile. They include a fully featured built-in BACnet/IP, BACnet/SC to MS/TP router with BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) and slave proxy functionality.
Math objects can calculate any kind of formula using data points available on the device. The resulting data point value can then be either shown on the page or provided via an output Network Variable. Network Variables are automatically mapped to OPC data points that can be accessed via Web services.
The L-VIS devices provide fully featured AST™ functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L-WEB Building Management System.
The L-VIS devices are equipped with two Ethernet ports. It can either be configured to use the internal switch to interconnect the two ports or every port is configured to work in a separate IP network.
When the Ethernet ports are configured for two separate IP networks, one port can be connected for instance to a WAN (Wide Area Network) with enabled network security (HTTPS) while the second port can be configure to be connected to an insecure network (LAN) where the standard building automation protocols like BACnet/IP, LON/IP, or Modbus TCP are present. These devices also feature firewall functionality of course to isolate particular protocols or services between the ports.
Using the internal switch, a daisy chained line topology of up to 20 devices can be built, which reduces costs for network installation. The IP switch also allow the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.
The L‑VIS devices provide fully featured AST™ functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L‑WEB Building Management System.
IoT Integration
The IoT function (Node.js) allows connecting the system to almost any cloud service, either for uploading historical data to analytics services, delivering alarm messages to alarm processing services or operating parts of the control system over a cloud service (e.g., scheduling based on Web calendars or booking systems). Processing Internet information such as weather data in forecast-based control is also possible. Finally, the JavaScript kernel also allows implementing serial protocols to non-standard equipment in primary plant control.
