LPAD-7 Touch Panels for BACnet, EnOcean, LonMark, Modbus, Bluetooth, OPC XML / DA and OPC UA networks are ideally suited for visualization and operation in building automation. LPAD-7 Touch Panels can be used as room operator pan­els, network thermostats, room controller with integrated capacitive touch screen for single offices, conference rooms, hotel rooms, cabins on cruise ships and pri­vate homes. The L-PAD/L-VIS/L-WEB configurator can be used to customize the pages and create the page navigation. LPAD-7 touch panels run on a powerful quad core CPU with extremely low power consumption. The LPAD-7 is designed for the best possible security measures with regular firmware updates over many years’ lifetime.

LPAD-7 impresses with its timeless design, harmonic integration into modern and historical architecture, and with its extremely user-friendly concept. The all view IPS display can be mounted horizontally or vertically. With its only 21 mm thick­ness it can be mounted on wall. An optional recessed mounting frame allows a stylish flush mount installation.

Integrated Sensor

The LPAD-7 offers a variety of built-in sensors to measure temperature, humidity, illuminance, and to detect presence. The IR receiver detects commands from an IR remote control. The proximity sensor turns on the back light of the display. An optional built-in 1.3 Mpx camera with 80° viewing angle streams videos from the monitored area.

The integrated real-time clock is powered by a rechargeable capacitor and has a ten-day power-reserve.

Playback of Audio Files and Streams

The LPAD-7 integrated sound system plays MP3, WAV, and MP3 streams (for exam­ple web radio). The playback will be started or stopped by the respective action object. The action object is linked to one of the available audio files or to the URL of an MP3 stream.

Programming

Some LPAD-7 models can be programmed in IEC 61499** with the L-ROC room automation library or in IEC 61131-3** with the L-STUDIO building automation library. In this configuration the LPAD-7 can act as the room controller and user interface in one device. Wireless sensors and actuators in the room communicate via Bluetooth mesh with the LPAD-7 room controller.

 IoT Integration

The IoT function (Node.js) included in some LPAD-7 models allows connecting the system to almost any cloud service, either for uploading historical data to analyt­ics services, delivering alarm messages to alarm processing services or operating parts of the control system over a cloud service (e.g., scheduling based on Web calendars or booking systems). Processing Internet information such as weather data in forecast-based control is also possible. Finally, the JavaScript kernel also allows implementing serial protocols to non-standard equipment in primary plant control.

Communication

LPAD-7 communicates OPC XML/DA with L-ROC room controller and the LWEB-900 building management system.

LPAD-7 communicates with BACnet networks via BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP. The LPAD-7 Touch Panels implement the BACnet Building Controller (B‑BC) pro­file. They include a fully featured built‑in BACnet/IP to MS/TP router with BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) and slave proxy functionality. For BACnet MS/TP communication the optional LPAD7-SOCKET1 / LPAD7-SOCKET2 / LPAD7-SOCKET3 / LPAD7-SOCKET4 socket board with RS‑485 interface is required.

LPAD-7 Touch Panels communicate with LonMark Systems via IP‑852 (Ethernet/IP) or TP/FT‑10 channels via the optional LPAD7-SOCKET2 socket board.

LPAD-7 Touch Panels communicate Modbus either as Master or Slave. For this purpose, Modbus TCP is supported, and Modbus RTU/ASCII is available via the optional LPAD7-SOCKET1, LPAD7-SOCKET2, LPAD7-SOCKET3 or LPAD7-SOCKET4 socket board with RS‑485 interface.

An EnOcean option allows integration of EnOcean sensor and actuator devices into the LPAD-7. This option requires the LPAD7-SOCKET3 or the LPAD7-SOCKET4 product.
