2.3 Communications
Communications between the individual PCs takes place via Ethernet TCP/IP or
RS232 interface.
Room controllers are integrated to the system using a license-free Konnex bus. Up
to 60 room controllers can be switched onto one line via the Konnex bus. You can
also operate other standard EIB (KNX-TP1) devices over the same bus at an
additional implementation expense.
Peripheral devices connected in the room, such as room devices, card readers or
holder, are connected to the room controller via a room bus (RS 485).
2.4 Hotel room management
With HRMS software, the system offers integrated hotel room management directly
from the hotel’s reception desk. Efficient guest and service personnel as well as
energy management help the hotel manager reduce costs.
Hotel Solution is connected directly at the reception desk with the reservation
system (FOS) and ensures trouble-free operation of access control, air
conditioning control, safety and energy management in the guest rooms from the
time the guest checks in until the guest leaves at check out.
The hotel rooms can be monitored and operated from the workstation at the
reception desk. You can gain an overview for each room of guest and room status
via the hotel room management software’s main view. Messages and alarms, such
as “Do not disturb”, “Room service”, “SOS / Help”, “Intruder”, etc., are signaled
immediately in the software's alarm pane, allowing personnel to react quickly.
You can create access cards for guests and personnel at the workstation using a
card encoder.
The database, that is a part of the HRMS management station, stores the actual
values for all the rooms and uses the management software to display the values
in easy-to-read trend curves. You can also adjust the temperature setpoint from the
individual rooms from the workstation, if the guest so desires.
The system allows you to easily adapt various temperature profiles for individual
parts of the hotel building depending on geographic orientation (northern, southern
exposure). Rooms may also be assigned to individual primary-side energy groups.
The management station can even handle the shut down of certain hotel floors or
even entire wings during the off season by setting them to a special building
protection mode. You can save energy optimally by using the building protection
mode, without risking damage from frost in the unused sections.
Each guest room is equipped with one room controller (Room Control Unit / RCU).
The room controller integrates all important room functions, such as access control,
room air conditioning control, energy management, blinds control, lighting
scenarios, alarming, etc., into one integrated system.
