DOMINION Electronics claims a manufacturer used its technology to add network connectivity to its elevator control products.
The control unit of elevators usually have an asynchronous interface to connect dedicated management and control equipment.
According to the technology provider, this simple communication method is inflexible and isolated. Ethernet connectivity provided by its Digi technology allows for a more universal access to the units through a local network or via the Internet.
With the advent of smart building control solutions, increased connectivity and control allows for integration of the independent components into a unified building control solution.
