EIB Interface
The EIB interface links an EIB network to North's Extensible Object Model. Group messages on the network are captured and the values saved in a table within the interface; other devices can then access these values. The interface can also write group values to the EIB network.
The interface must be configured with a list of up to 128 group addresses; the interface then monitors the EIB network for messages to these groups, and stores the value in its table. Any devices connected to North's Extensible Object Model can then access these values whenever necessary.
Within EIB systems, each group value has a particular type. This is used to ‘decode’ the value into meaningful data. The EIB interface supports values from single bits to 32-bits, and from dimming-levels to IEEE floating point values. Values can be read or written.
