Hi,
last week this theme is VERY popular - my request to help - 3rd one
In attachment my not final diagram.
I have - 6 floors building, every floor 2 parts. Every part - 2 or 3 different company offices, every 2-3 rooms. Every part of floor has own cabinet, where I plan to locate 1 LM device and 1 or 2 DALI GW depending of lights quantity (not known for now). Also Every floor parts has own electrical and Heat counters, connected to LM.
Every office should have access to their VISU for control own office and see heater and Electrical counters details.
No access from one office LAN to others.
All information should be viewed from Main LM ( at underground floor).
Some questions (Thanks to Erwin for partly answers!) :
1. How better connect LM to network? Use VLANs or multicast to provide connections between LM and different office's LAN?
2. How correctly organize LM configuration?
3. Should we connect all LM also using floor's KNX couplers to main KNX line?
4. How many users we can use? Somewhere I read that SL can works to 50 users, HL to 8, but LM? Of course it depends of weight of visualization. I plan to use LM5 with latest generation of CPU.
Any recommendation for me will be very useful to finish office building automation project.
Also just idea to developers - known that in RC2 will be Open VPN realization. But may be is possible create some virtual LAN's to existing real LAN port? Will be easier to connect from different subnetworks in one office without additional routing..
BR,
Alex
