1-General Method Integration

Description

J2 Innovations is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens. The company mainly provides smart building solutions, with its core product being the FIN Framework platform. FIN Framework is an open, scalable IoT platform designed to simplify device management, data integration, and control system development. It allows facility managers, system integrators, and OEMs to quickly implement smart management of buildings and devices while providing flexible configuration and data analytics capabilities. The platform emphasizes efficient and secure management of buildings and devices, as well as seamless integration with cloud platforms.

This document primarily explains how to integrate the UG65 gateway with the FIN Framework platform and provides a complete operation process for adding the AM319 device (Note: AM319 is used here as an example; readers can replace it with their own devices as needed) on the FIN Framework platform.

Requirement

• Gateway Model: UG65 (UG56, UG67 also supported)

• Sensor Model: AM319

• Frequency Band: US915 (used in this demonstration)

• Platform: This demonstration is based on 'LinkEdge' (5.1.7.93) which is developed by Innon on FIN Framework. 

Configuration

Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

Contact J2 Innovations for the installation package and license authorization files. The file list is typically as shown in the image below:

Install and import the license on either a Windows or Linux system.

After installation, the default address is usually: http://[Your Host IP Address]. 

Log in with the default username and password to access the following interface:

At this point, the platform installation is complete.

Step 2: Gateway Integration

Once logged in, you will need to manually create a new project named “MILESIGHT,”

Click the button in the lower-right corner to enter the configuration page:

In the configuration interface, you will see the basic information pre-set by the system:

Click on the “LoRaWAN Setup” section in the left-hand column:

Fill in the required information as prompted:

● IP address and port ：

Enter the gateway's IP address, including the port.

● Username :

Enter the username for the gateway's management page, typically "admin."

● Password ： 

Enter the password for the gateway's management page, typically "password."

Click the “Save and ping” button, and wait for the progress bar to finish. Once complete, the gateway will be successfully integrated, as shown below:

At this point, the gateway has been successfully integrated with the platform.

Step 3: Adding a Sensor

In this example, the AM319 device is used. After clicking "Next" in the previous step, you will see the interface below. Click the “Add device” button:

Fill in the LoRa parameters for the AM319 as prompted:

After entering the information, click “Save,” then wait 3-5 minutes. The data from the AM319 device will be visible on the platform:

At this point, the entire process is complete, and we have successfully integrated the AM319 device via the UG65 gateway to transmit data to the J2 Innovations FIN platform in real-time.

2-BACnet Method Integration

Description

J2 Innovations is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens. The company primarily offers intelligent building solutions, with its core product being the FIN Framework platform. FIN Framework is an open and scalable IoT platform designed to simplify device management, data integration, and control system development. It enables facility managers, system integrators, and OEMs to quickly implement intelligent management of buildings and devices, while also providing flexible configuration and data analysis capabilities. The platform emphasizes efficient and secure management of buildings and devices, with seamless connectivity to cloud platforms.

This document introduces the complete process of how to integrate the UG65 gateway with the FIN Framework platform and use the AM319 device (used here as an example; readers can replace it with their own devices based on actual needs).

Requirement

• Gateway Model: UG65 (UG56, UG67 also supported)

• Sensor Model: AM319

• Frequency Band: US915 (used in this demonstration)

• Platform: This demonstration is based on 'LinkEdge' (5.1.7.93) which is developed by Innon on FIN Framework.

Configuration

Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

Contact J2 Innovations to obtain the installation package and license authorization file. The typical file list is shown below:

Install the software and import the license on a Windows or Linux system.

After installation, the default address is usually: http://[your host IP address]. 

Log in with the default username and password to access the following interface:

At this point, the platform setup is complete.

Step 2: Gateway Configuration

a) Enable the Built-in Network Server

First, enable the built-in NS (Network Server). Operate as shown in the image below (you can skip this step if it is already enabled):

b) Add Sensor

Here we use the AM319 device as an example. 

Refer to the guide <How to Connect LoRaWAN Nodes to Milesight Gateway> to complete the configuration. The result after adding the sensor is shown below:

c) Enable BACnet Feature

Enable BACnet as shown in the image below:

After a few moments, the device will automatically start the BACnet service.

d) Add BACnet Object

Follow the steps as shown below:

Since the object has already been added, it appears greyed out here , this is normal. 

After configuration, the result looks like this:

As we can see, the parameters of all BACnet Objects and the data reported by the AM319 device are already being updated in real time.

This completes the gateway configuration.

Step 3: Add Gateway in FIN Platform

Return to the J2 Innovations FIN Platform we just deployed. 

Once logged in, you will need to manually create a new project named “MILESIGHT,”

Click the jump button in the lower-right corner to enter the configuration interface:

You’ll see the system’s pre-configured basic information as shown below:

Click on the "BACnet Setup" section in the left sidebar and follow the steps shown in the image:

You’ll see the address of your gateway (the greyed-out status indicates that it has already been added ，this is normal). 

Locate your gateway device and click the “Add selected” button. The added gateway will appear in the section below, as shown:

Step 4: Add Points

Click the search icon as shown in the image:

Wait for the progress bar to complete. Select all and add them. The result after adding is shown below:

We can now see that the data from the AM319 device is being updated and displayed in real time in the BACnet Points section.

At this point, the LoRaWAN device, with the help of the gateway, is successfully transmitting real-time data to the J2 Innovations FIN Platform via the BACnet network.
