Automation station functions
These freely programmable automation stations provide the infrastructure for the
provision and processing of system-specific and application-specific functions. In
addition to the control functions, the automation station also incorporates
convenient integrated management functions such as:
 Alarm management with alarm routing throughout the network. Management of
simple, basic and extended alarms, with safe transfer tracking and automatic
monitoring of alarm transmission
 Time schedules
 Trend
 Remote management function
 Access protection throughout the network, with individually definable user
profiles and categories
The automation stations are freely programmable in D-MAP programming
language. This involves the creation of plant operating programs through graphics-
based interconnection of function blocks and compounds held in libraries.
Communication is via Ethernet with the internationally standardized BACnet
protocol. Both peer-to-peer communications with other automation stations and
connection to the PXM20-E operator units are supported.
The devices communicate via an open LonTalk system in accordance with the
international standard BACnet protocol. Both peer-to-peer communications with
other automation stations and connections to the PXM20 operator units are
