StandaloneNetworkManagementMode

The SmartServer can be used in standalone mode – function-

ing as a network manager in a single box – to broaden the mar-

kets and applications for your solutions. Using standalone mode

and smart network management, you can attach devices to a

network and the SmartServer will automatically install them.

After installing a network, the SmartServer can be used in stand-

alone mode to perform many of the same network management

tasks you perform with LNS services, including conﬁguring,

upgrading, replacing, and testing devices – all from an intuitive

and easy to use Web interface.

In standalone mode, network conﬁguration changes are

stored in the internal SmartServer database and the SmartServer

controls all messages to the devices attached to it, including its

internal freely programmable module (FPM) applications. This

differs from the standard LNS network management mode in

which the devices attached to the SmartServer are bound and

communicate with each other and the SmartServer in a peer-to-

peer manner.

In standalone mode, networks are limited to approximately

200 devices. After conﬁguring a network to function in stand-

alone mode, an LNS server can be connected to the network and

the network management service can be switched to LNS.

Web2.0UserInterface

The dynamic navigation pane in the SmartServer Web pages

lets you open the SmartServer conﬁguration Web pages and

embedded applications, connect devices, and conﬁgure and

manage networks, channels, devices, functional blocks, and data

points easily and intuitively.

The navigation pane appears in the left pane of the

SmartServer Web pages. It includes the local SmartServer

device, its applications, and its connections. Directly above the

navigation pane, a message box displays the current action to be

performed such as “navigate” or “select data point”. You can

add remote SmartServers to the navigation pane and access their

applications and conﬁgure the devices attached to them just as

you were working on the local SmartServer. You can use the

navigation pane to create Web connections and L

ONWORKS

connections (in LNS mode) with the data points on the

SmartServer without any additional steps.

Applications

The SmartServer software applications provide a rich set of

functions that enable it to work as a self-contained controller

without the need for a PC or host processor. Standard applica-

tions include scheduling, data logging, alarm detection & dis-

patch, meter reading, analog functions, and type translation.

The scheduling application permits events and exceptions to be

initiated based on time-and-date schedules that you conﬁgure.

The astronomical position calculator permits scheduling to be

done based on the calculated position of the sun and relative

time based on the sunrise and sunset.

The SmartServer applications are accessible from built-in

Web pages or via a SOAP/XML interface. The SOAP/XML

interface to these applications allows custom integration of data

into back-end databases and reporting applications using Web

services.

Used in conjunction with the built-in security features, the

applications allow day-to-day operational activities such as

scheduling events, reading data logs, monitoring events, and

acknowledging alarms to be supervised from anywhere in the

world using a Web browser.

AnalogFunctionalBlock&TypeTranslator

WebPage

The SmartServer includes new Web pages for creating ana-

log functional blocks and type translators. Analog functional

blocks can perform arithmetic or logical operations on a set of

data points and then store the result in an output data point. Type

translators can convert scalar data points with incompatible data

types, and use case logic to convert, split, and merge structured

data points.

DataPointTrendGraphs

The SmartServer includes data point trend graphs that chart

data point values. The trend graphs provide real-time and his-

torical tracking of data points and dat points logs. The graphs are

available in the built-in SmartServer conﬁguration pages and

they can be added to custom Web pages built with i.LON

Vision.

The ﬂexibility and power of these graphs mean that you track

scalar and structured data points on a single chart. For example,

you can plot a temperature value and alarm condition (normal or

in alarm state) on the same chart.

HardwareI/O

The i.LON SmartServer includes two optically-isolated

digital inputs; two high-voltage, high-current SPST relay out-

puts; and two S0 impulse meter inputs for supervising electric,

gas, and water impulse meters. Each input or output may be

conﬁgured using built-in Web pages or the LNS plug-in. For

example, the pulse meter inputs can be easily conﬁgured to
