Introduction
This European Standard outlines the main elements of the HBES Open Communication System and
the concept behind it. It should be used as a guideline for the EN 50090 series.
Home and Building Electronic Systems as provided by the HBES Open Communication System are a
specialized form of automated, decentralised and distributed process control, dedicated to the needs
of home and building applications.
The specification of the HBES Open Communication System provides, besides runtime
characteristics, a “toolkit” of services and mechanisms for network management.
On the HBES Open Communication System Device Network, all devices form distributed applications,
which are able to interact with one another taking into account Interworking rules (standardized
Datapoint Types and “Functional Block” objects, modelling logical device channels). This run-time
Interworking allows the creation of a comprehensive and multi-domain home and building
communication system
The available communication media range from Twisted Pair to Powerline and 868 MHz band Radio
Frequency.
The HBES Open Communication system is independent of any specific microprocessor platform or
architecture. Depending on the profile chosen by the manufacturer, any suitable industry-standard
chip can be chosen. Some HBES Open Communication System profiles allow a tiny system footprint
(say < 5 kbit) and can run on an 8-bit processor. Implementations can however also be realised on 16-
or 32-bit processors, or even PC’s.
The features of HBES Open Communication System allow its use in different application domains and
installation types, and also in “Service Network” environments (usually based on broadband networks
running IP, the Internet Protocol). To address this need, the transmission of HBES Open
Communication System frames across an IP network has been standardised in EN 50090-4-3:2007.

1 Scope
This European Standard concentrates on control applications for Home and Building HBES Open
Communication System and covers any combination of electronic devices linked via a digital
transmission network. Home and Building Electronic System as provided by the HBES Open
Communication System is a specialized form of automated, decentralised and distributed process
control, dedicated to the needs of home and building applications.
The EN 50090 series concentrates on HBES Open Communication System Class 1 and includes a
specification for a communication network for Home and Building for example for the control of
lighting, heating, food preparation, washing, energy management, water control, fire alarms, blinds
control, different forms of security control, etc.
This European Standard gives an overview of the features of the HBES Open Communication System
and provides the reader with references to the different parts of EN 50090 series.
This European Standard is used as a product family standard. It is not intended to be used as a stand-
alone standard.

Figure 1 – The HBES Open Communication System Model
The following constitute the essential ingredients of the HBES Open Communication System:
• Interworking and (Distributed) Application Models for the various tasks of Home and Building
Automation. These are described in EN 50090-3-2 and EN 50090-3-3 (Aspects of application –
HBES Interworking model and common HBES data types).
• Schemes for Configuration and Management, to properly manage all resources on the network,
and to permit the logical linking or binding of parts of a distributed application, which run in
different devices. These are structured in a set of Management Procedures as described in
EN 50090-7-1.
Profile 1
Profile 2
– 9 – EN 50090-1:2011
• Communication System, with a set of physical communication media, a message protocol and
corresponding models for the communication stack in each node; this Communication System has
to support all network communication requirements for the Configuration and Management of an
installation, as well as to host Distributed Applications on it. This is typified by the HBES Open
Communication System Common Kernel. These are described in EN 50090-5 series (for the
different supported media) and in EN 50090-4 series (for the media independent layers).
• Concrete Device Models, summarized in Profiles for the effective realization and combination of
the elements above when developing actual products or devices, which will be mounted and
linked in an installation. These are described in EN 50090-9-1, CLC/TR 50090-9-2 and
CLC/TR 50552.
A more detailed description of the above-mentioned elements is given below.
5.2 Applications, Interworking and Binding
Central to HBES Open Communication System application concepts is the idea of Datapoints: they
represent the process and control variables in the system, as explained in EN 50090-3 series. These
Datapoints may be inputs, outputs, parameters, diagnostic data etc. The standardized containers for
these Datapoints are Group Objects and Interface Object Properties.
The Communication System and Protocol are expected to offer a reduced instruction set to read and
write (set and get) Datapoint values: any further application semantics is mapped to the data format
and the bindings, making the HBES Open Communication System primarily “data driven”.
In order to achieve Interworking, the Datapoints have to implement Standardized Datapoint Types,
themselves grouped into Functional Blocks. These Functional Blocks and Datapoint Types are related
to applications fields, but some of them are of general use and named functions of common interest
(such as date and time).
Datapoints may be accessed through unicast or multicast mechanisms.
Clause 8 zooms in on these aspects.
5.3 Configuration
There are two levels at which an installation has to be configured. First of all, there is the level of the
network topology and the individual nodes or devices.
In a way, this first level is a precondition, prior to the configuration of the Distributed Applications, i.e.
binding and parameter setting.
Configuration may be achieved through a combination of local manipulations on the devices (e.g.
pushing a button, setting a code wheel, or using a locally connected configuration tool), and active
Network Management communication over the bus (peer-to-peer as well as more centralized master-
slave schemes).
5.4 Network Management and Resources
To accommodate all active configuration needs of the system, HBES Open Communication System is
equipped with a toolkit for network management. These instruments can be used throughout the
lifecycle of an installation: for initial set-up, for integration of multi-mode installations, for subsequent
diagnostics and maintenance, as well as for later extension and reconfiguration.
Network Management in the HBES Open Communication System specifies a set of mechanisms to
discover, set or retrieve configuration data actively via the network. It proposes Procedures (i.e.
message sequences) to access values of the different network resources within the devices, as well
as identifiers and formats for these resources – all of this in order to enable a proper Interworking of all

HBES Open Communication System network devices. These resources may be addresses,
communication parameters, application parameters, or complex sets of data like binding tables or
even the entire executable application program.
The network management basically makes use of the services offered by the application layer as
specified in EN 50090-4-1. For configuration purposes, each device shall implement the services and
resources specified in the relevant “profile”.
For managing the devices, these services are used within procedures. Configuration can be ensured
via an identified set of procedures, which are described in EN 50090-7-1. Different solutions are
possible, ranging from the commissioning of devices by:
• a connected PC with installed software program, sometimes referred to as "System Mode". The
product data is either part of the tool or imported into a database of the tool. By means of these
product descriptions, the binding and parameterisation of products is realised;
• a connected Controller acting as a master device, scanning for devices on the network and
obtaining information on their features via a device descriptor sent by the connected devices. On
the basis of a database inside the controller and appropriate settings via a display on the
controller, the products are linked and parameterised. This type of configuration is sometimes
referred to as "Easy controller mode";
• activating actuators to acquire sensors as partner devices: only when devices send device
descriptors that can be linked, will the devices be linkable. Parameters in this case are often set
locally on the device. This type of configuration is referred to as "Push button mode";
• assigning semantically or geographical zoning tags t
