Master Link Gateway
January 2009
The Master Link Gateway translates the Bang & Olufsen Master Link commands
into RS232 or LAN (ethernet) commands that Home Automation can understand
and vice versa. The connection varies according to the specifications of the third
party product:
Ethernet (LAN) for ip based systems
RS 232 and RS 485 cover non-ip based systems
The control flow in the Master Link Gateway is based on two data tables, one
table handling events coming from the Master Link side, and another table
handling events coming from the third party control system side.
There is also a setup function in the Master Link Gateway for identifying the
different Master Link master products in the setup. The different master
products in the rooms must be named, as known from the Beo5 setup.
Via the Master Link Gateway, you can now control and operate all your Home
Automation equipment from your Beo5 all over the house. You can combine
actions involving both home automation equipment and your AV equipment -
e.g. switch on the light and turning on your favourite TV channel in the kitchen,
or set different light scenes inside and outside, and designate and name a
button on your Beo5 to carry out the operation sequence. You can also choose
to control your A/V system from e.g. a button on your Home Automation panel,
if that makes more sense.
The operation is completely flexible as the Master Link Gateway allows you to
have as much as 2 x 65 commands per room. The commands can be a
combination of local commands, covering e.g. closing the curtains in one room,
and or global commands, such as switching off the lights in the entire house.
Functionality for the Master Link Gateway:
One to one or one to more command relations both ways
Master Link commands:
- Send IR simulated commands over Master Link to a Master Link master
product.
- Receive IR simulated commands from Master Link master products
- Receive different status information from the Master Link products.
There are different reasons why we embark in this new setup with the Master
Link Gateway. Having a Master Link system, which works as efficient as it does
and with the extensive experience we have in system control it is easy for us to
see a number of additional benefits we could easily offer our customers, if
integration is handled in a professional way with our third party partners.
