Generic Profiles - Appendix

V 1.1

San Ramon, CA, USA, June 20, 2013

Executive Summary

Generic Profiles are the successor of EnOcean Equipment Profiles and targets the short
comings of it. Both EnOcean Equipment Profiles and Generic Profiles describe the data
communication of products utilizing The EnOcean Radio Protocol and enables manufacturers
to develop interoperable products. The strength of Generic Profiles is to enable devices to
have self-described communication.
New products can be developed without submission of its profile to the EnOcean Alliance.

8. Generic Profiles Appendix

8.1. About this document

This document defines the variable lists, which are used in the Generic Profiles Specification.
The process of Generic Profiles and usage of the following definitions is described in the
Generic Profiles Specification.

Additions to the following definitions can be submitted to the EnOcean Alliance Technical
Working Group for approval. The EAC (EEP Approval Committee) will revise the changes and
will help submitters with questions and requests.

Additional definitions should be made, if a planned product cannot be sufficiently described

with the existing definitions.

8.2. Signal types

In this chapter the signal types for all channel types are described. There are signal type
definitions for channel type:

• Data

8.2.3. Signal type Enumeration

For the signal type ‘Enumeration’ the values and ranges are defined for every single
enumeration. When using the enumeration channel type in Teach-in request message, the
resolution description from Table 3.3: Resolution ‘data’ and ‘enumeration’ has to be applied.
The range definition in the table below has only an informative character.

00000000 = Reserved N/A

00000001 = Multipurpose Defined by application

00000010 = Building Mode 0..2 0 = Building in use global

TABLE 8.3: SIGNAL TYPE ‘ENUMERATION’

The signal type multipurpose (0b00000001) is dedicated to manufacturer or application

specific enumeration channel types. The values and range of the multipurpose enumeration
can vary between products and manufacturers. It is to assume that such enumeration fulfils
one of these criteria:

• is not likely to be reused by other application or manufacturer

Generic Profiles Specification Page 7/10

System Specification

• is very specific for a given application or manufacturer

• has different reasons not to be added as interoperable enumeration to this document

The values and range of the multipurpose enumeration have to be described in the product
documentation of the product applying it.

TABLE 8.4: SIGNAL TYPE ‘TEACH-IN INFORMATION’

The Length information is used in the channel definition of the Teach-in information channel
type during Teach-in process as indicator how many bytes of data will follow.

Product ID is defined to be a unique reference to a device type (not devices them self).
Manufacturers can use this filed to identify different types of devices in the field and
effectively improve the plug & play capabilities. A common platform to share Product ID
definition and device meta-data will be defined. The rules of usage will be defined by the TWG.

Connected GSI Sensor IDs is a specific channel defined to translate the Generic Sensor
Interface (GSI) for Long range sensors into Generic Protocol Teach in. Additionally to Product
ID it includes the Socket number and Number of connected sensors. Those parameters are
specific for GSI.
