A remote data service (RDS) is a gateway between the Lifecycle Twin web server and BAS devices and services on the client’s network. RDS allows to:

  1. Configure remote devices and services.
  2. Retrieve information from remote devices and services and store it in the database / read trend information from the BMS system.

For on-premise systems, a RDS server needs to be installed on the client's network and must be:

  • Accessible from the Lifecycle Twin application server.
  • Connected to the controllers and/or BMS systems.

Details on deployment recommendations can be found in the Cybersecurity Guidelines. Details of the installation of RDS are available in the installation guidelines.
