1.2.Philosophy

MembercompaniesoftheEnOceanAllianceofferproductsorservicestoverydynamicandrapidlydevelopingmarkets.Toalargeextentmembercompaniesarespecialistsintheirpartofthemarket;veryseldomtheyprovideallelementsforaconsistentsystem/datanetwork/communicationchain.Mostofthemprovideelementsofacommunicationinfrastructurewhichrequireelementsfromothermembercompaniestointeractwithforaseamlesstransportofdata.AtypicalinstallationofproductsbasedonEnOceantechnologycouldbebuiltwithsensorssuppliedbycompanyA,connectedtogatewaysfromcompanyB,andservingactuatorsfromcompanyC.Suchaninstallationwillonlyworksuccessfullyandefficientlyifallofitscomponentsareabletocommunicateproperlywitheachotherandbythisprovidethefunctionalitythesecomponentsandthenetworkweredesignedfor.

InteroperabilityoftechnologiesandproductsmadebyitsmembercompaniesisTHEkeyobjectiveandkeyassetoftheEnOceanAlliance.Ithastobesafeguardedbytheproductmanufacturers(OEMs)bymeansoffocuseddesignofhardwareandsoftware.Duringvolumemanufacturingtheproductqualitydesignedandcommittedrequirescontinuesmonitoringandcontrol.

TosecurethepropercommunicationtheEnOceanAlliancedefinedacommunicationarchitectureconsistingofthe

- Airinterface,i.e.thestandardsISO/IEC14543-3-1X(definingthephysicalanddatalinklayer)

- EnOceanEquipmentProfilesandGenericProfiles(definingthelinkandnetworklayer)- SupplementingprocedureslikeRemoteCommissioning

ThesesystemspecificationsarecreatedandmaintainedbytheTechnicalWorkingGroup(TWG)oftheEnOceanAlliance.
