Designing and Certifying Interoperable Products Mr. Ernst EDER Certification Engineer LONMARK® Interoperability Association Designing and Certifying Interoperable Products Abstract: A quick look into… what is required to make a device ready for LonMark Certification, and how to get it that way. Included is an overview of the process of certifying a device from the perspective of the submitter and the LonMark staff, and the most important things the LonMark Association requires of a device for certification. Agenda Defining the Device Ideal Method of Device Creation Product Conformance Review Device Documentation — in and out Process of Testing Resource Report Generator Defining the Device Defining the Device Defining the Device User-defined NVs, CPs, and profiles should use Scope of 3, 4, 5, or 6 — not 0, 1, nor 2 (these are reserved). User-defined profiles should be indexed from 20’000 to 25’000 (C8:00 – FA:00). Devices created using profile types 1– 4 should use a Device Class that is not assigned to a “LonMark profile.” Profile type 5 (the “Controller Object”) cannot be used. It is obsolete for version 3.3 Guidelines. Defining the Device What will it be? Temperature Sensor with Occupancy Sensing or Occupancy Sensor with Temperature Sensing Device Class Determining the Device Class: Standard Program Identifier (SPID) spidData.xml:http://www.lonmark.org/spid Manufacturer Device Class Usage Media Channel spidData.xsd SPID Master List XSD - schema XML - database XSL - stylesheet spidData.xml SPID Master List XSD - schema XML - database XSL - stylesheet spidData.xsl SPID Master List XSD - schema XML - database XSL - stylesheet Agenda Defining the Device Ideal Method of Device Creation Product Conformance Review Device Documentation — in and out Process of Testing Resource Report Generator Ideal Method of Device Creation Steps: Create Enumerations… (something_t) Create User Network-Variable Types… (UNVT_something) Create User Configuration-Property Types… (UCPTsomething) Create User Functional-Profile Templates… (UFPTsomething) A Profile in the NodeBuilder® Resource Editor Ideal Method of Device Creation Steps: Use a development tool to create code (functional blocks) from your new UFPTs. Add algorithms to source code to create functionality for the functional blocks. Compile. Export XIF file. Graphically Adding Profiles to a Device Adding Algorithms to Generated Code Agenda Defining the Device Ideal Method of Device Creation Product Conformance Review Device Documentation — in and out Process of Testing Resource Report Generator Product Conformance Review When your design is complete, submit The Conformance-Review Application & Checklist (LM_CONFM.PDF) and LonMark-Logo License Agreement via fax to LonMark at +1-408-790-3493, and send also by postal mail. Submit your product datasheet as a single ZIP attachment to cert@lonmark.org in DOC or PDF format. Product Conformance Review Submit your product XIF file, and if needed, your TYP, FMT, FPT, and language files—as a single ZIP attachment to cert@lonmark.org. Product Conformance Review If you have: a node that must have its UCPTs set to function; created a UNVT or UCPT that you want exposed; created your own functional block (UFPT); or added NVs or CPs to a Standard functional block: chosen to add NV or CP members—as a part of your interoperable interface—to the functional blocks on your device; …then you need… Device Resource Files (DRFs), or a Passive Configuration Tool (PCT).
