The LonMark Technical Task Groups were hard at work recently:
The Automated Food-Service (AFS) TG teleconferenced to discuss changes to the Conveyor Toaster profile for AFS1 projects. Revisions are forthcoming.
The Utility/Energy TG met in Paris to discuss the pending electric-meter profiles; advancements in OpenADR, IEC 61850, & ASHRAE/NEMA SPC201P; and updates surrounding the smart-grid efforts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Minutes of the Utility/Energy TG can be downloaded by LonMark International members here: forum.lonmark.org/forum2/resource.ashx?a=256
The Services TG also met in Paris and discussed the pending Simple Scheduler profile, an embedded scheduler for devices. Discussions are ongoing via the TG email reflector.
In addition to the TGs meeting in Paris, the LonMark Technical Committee and Technical Standards Committee also met.
