Background
The initial set of LonMark profiles, published in the LonMark Interoperability Guidelines provided a basic
set of generic functions (open and closed -loop sensors and actuators,
and a controller) from which a broad set of applications could be
implemented.
Input and output data types were intentionally left open to
interpretation according to the particular application. LonMark members,
working within application-specific task
groups, have since gone ahead and defined the data types and
associated configuration properties to arrive at new,
application-specific functional definitions described by the new Functional
Profiles.
LonMark Functional profiles describe in detail the
application-layer interface—including the network variables,
configuration properties, defaults, and power-up behaviors—required on
LonMark devices for specific, commonly used control functions.
Profiles standardize functions not products,
Profiles give industry groups a universal shorthand in which to describe
common units of functional behavior. This shorthand eases the
specfication process and enhances interoperability—without compromising a
specifier's ability to call for unique capabilities, or a
manufacturer's ability to differentiate a product from the competition.
A product must be based on one or more profiles
(including one of the initial four: open-loop sensor, closed-loop
sensor, open-loop actuator, and/or closed-loop actuator) if it is to be
certified to the LonMark Interoperability Guidelines.
