Product information "LCN-PKE Issendorff KG"
Coupling module for connection to a network
The LCN-PKE is a highly advanced network coupling module specifically designed for integration into the LCN bus system. It enables seamless communication over LAN via RJ45 or wirelessly via WLAN. With the LCN-PKE, users can efficiently control and monitor their LCN systems by connecting to various network services.
Application Areas
The LCN-PKE is used in numerous applications, including:
- Remote maintenance and monitoring with the LCN-PRO software, which allows for easy management and customization of LCN systems.
- Visualization of system states and control commands via the LCN-GVS software, which provides a user-friendly interface.
- Coupling with the PCK protocol to integrate data from third-party applications into the LCN system.
The module acts as a central access point to the LCN system, allowing installers to parameterize the system and couple it with other systems.
Another application case is the connection to the LCN visualization on the PC. With the LCN-GVS system software, bidirectional data exchange between the LCN system states and control commands from the visualization PC is enabled.
Hardware Features
- RJ-45 interface for wired connections.
- WLAN interface for wireless communication.
- Direct connection to the LCN bus for easy integration.
- Optical status indicator showing the operational state of the module.
Please note that access to the LCN-PKE with two LCN-PRO of the same license is not possible.
Function Description
The LCN-PKE supports up to two simultaneous PCHK connections to the LCN bus, allowing both LCN-GVS and LCN-PRO to access the bus at the same time. The PCHK monitor under Windows can optionally be used for configuration and monitoring of the LCN-PKE. For a third connection to the LCN bus, a full version of the LCN-PCHK license is required, and each additional connection requires an upgrade license.
Coupling LCN-PCK
To transfer data from a third-party application via LCN-PCK to the LCN bus, the corresponding software is required. This software buffers incoming and outgoing commands and messages, checks and translates them for use in the LCN system.
The communication connection uses the TCP/IP network, utilizing simple ASCII character strings. An example of a command could be: M000111A1100010, which means that module 111 in segment 000, output 1 is set to 100 with a ramp of 10. Feedback such as status or measurement values is also returned in a simple and logical format, making implementation in third-party applications easier.
Date/Time
With an existing internet connection, the LCN-PKE regularly updates the time, allowing all LCN modules to display the current time, which is particularly useful when this information is displayed on an LCN-GT4D or LCN-GT10D. This function can be configured via the PKE web interface.
