BS EN 14908 European standard for open data transmission in building automation, control, and in building management systems. BS EN 14908-3 is the third part of the multi-series standard that specifies the Control Network Power Line (PL) Channel and serves.
BS EN 14908-3 specifies all the information necessary to facilitate the exchange of data and control information over the power line medium for networked control systems in commercial Building Automation, Controls and Building Management.
BS EN 14908-3 establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance. BS EN 14908-3 does not rule out extended services to be provided, given that the rules are adhered to within the system. It is the intention of the standard to permit extended services (defined by users) to coexist.
BS EN 14908-3 on Control Network Protocol - Power Line Channel Specification is useful for:
Power Line Channel is used for data communication by transferring data over existing power lines. By using a power line as a communication network, it is possible to build a system at a low cost and early stage.
The purpose of BS EN 14908-3 is to present the information necessary for the development of a PL physical network and nodes to communicate and share information over that network.
BS EN 14908-3 provides a set of guidelines on physical and electrical specifications for the power line environment as an aid in developing products for that environment. BS EN 14908-3 is intended to be used by all the entities involved in the design, manufacture, engineering, installation, and commissioning activities establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance
Therefore, BS EN 14908-3 leads to the lower level of operational costs of automation equipment, especially for long high-voltage power transmission lines.
