DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COUPLING BUILDING NETWORKS AND GLOBAL NETWORKS

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for coupling building networks and global networks, using at least one building network (3) that interconnects at least two network stations (4, 5) of the building (1) and a global network (7), such as for example the Internet. According to the invention, a coupling device (6) is connected to at least the building network or networks (3) and the global network (7), the coupling device (6) has means (9 - 13) for data communication with the building network (3) and the global network (7), and the coupling device (6) processes data of the global network (7) and/or autonomously forwards said data to the network stations (4, 5) of the building (1). The coupling device (6) uses the data of the global network (7) for controlling, displaying and/or regulating the network stations (4, 5) of the building (1), or data is forwarded and autonomously recognised and processed by the network stations (4, 5), which are for example connected to a building bus system.
