BS EN 50090-7-1:2004

What is BS EN 50090-7-1 - Home and building electronic systems - System management about?  

BS EN 50090-7-1 is a European standard that discusses the management procedures of home and building electronic systems (HBES). 

BS EN 50090-7-1 establishes general principles for the network- and device management shared by and independent of the installation mode. The goal is to standardize the interaction, between a management client and a management server, which shall lead to the successful configuration of the devices. In this way, these management procedures thus specify the highest-level communication requirements between a management client and a management server. These requirements specify: 

• The sequence of messages that shall be exchanged between a management client and a management server, and 
• The contents and interpretation of the transported data, and 
• The action to take based on these data (setting internal resources, state machines, physical actions,), and 
• The error and exception handling 

The management procedures are based on the application layer services. 

Some management procedures are solely based on the use of one or a sequence of dedicated application layer services to achieve the required goal. For these, the documents EN 50090-4-1 and EN 50090-4-2 provide sufficient information for the underlying mechanisms. 

Other management procedures additionally use the application layer services to access internal data in the management server to achieve the required goal. These data are laid down as objects as specified in EN 50090-3-2. 

Who is BS EN 50090-7-1 - Home and building electronic systems - System management for? 

BS EN 50090-7-1 on home and building electronic systems - system management is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of electronic and control components   
• Service providers and installers for electronic and control components   
• Electrical and electronic engineer  

Why should you use BS EN 50090-7-1 - Home and building electronic systems - System management?  

The management procedures capture the dynamics of managing distributed resources on the network in terms of abstract procedures. On the network itself, a procedure consists of a sequence of telegrams, exchanged between two partners: the management client and the management server. 

The goal is BS EN 50090-7-1 to standardize the interaction, between a management client and a management server, which shall lead to the successful configuration of the devices. In this way, these management procedures thus specify the highest-level communication requirements between a management client and a management server. 

Ultimately, of course, the response to a client request is always generated by the individual devices connected to the network, either one or many. In addition to its run-time behavior (based on group communication), every device moreover supports a rich management server profile for this purpose. One important objective of BS EN 50090-7-1 is precisely to allow a concise description of such a profile. 

The requirements provided by BS EN 50090-7-1 assist in improving the performance and quality of the HBES for its use in different application domains and installation network- and device-management environments.
