Full title and description

ISO/IEC 29341-6-12:2008 — Information technology — UPnP Device Architecture — Part 6-12: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Device Control Protocol - Fan Speed Service. Defines a UPnP/Device Control service for programmatic control and status reporting of air fans in HVAC applications, enabling networked control and monitoring of fan speed parameters within the UPnP device architecture.

Abstract

ISO/IEC 29341-6-12:2008 specifies a Fan Speed Service type that provides the data model, state variables, actions and eventing required to set, read and monitor fan speed and related status information for fans used in Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning systems. The part is one element of the ISO/IEC 29341 family which adapts UPnP device architecture for interoperable control of household and building devices.

Scope

This part defines the Fan Speed Service for HVAC devices within the UPnP Device Architecture. It covers the service type definition, the state variables used to represent fan speed and status, the control actions (for setting and querying speed and mode), and eventing rules so clients can subscribe to changes. The scope is limited to the interface and protocol-level definitions required for interoperable fan-speed control and monitoring on IP-based networks.

Key topics and requirements

• Service model and type definition for Fan Speed (serviceType and namespace conventions).
• State variables describing fan speed values, units and status indicators (e.g., discrete levels or percentage, operational/auto flags).
• Control actions to set and get fan speed and to query operational status; required argument and return value structures.
• Eventing and subscription behavior for state-variable change notifications to subscribed control points.
• XML schema/namespace usage and conformance rules for interoperable UPnP implementations.
• Guidance for vendor extensions and backward/forward compatibility within the UPnP naming/versioning model.

Typical use and users

Intended users include HVAC equipment manufacturers, embedded device developers, smart-home and building automation integrators, firmware engineers implementing UPnP on controllers or gateways, and test laboratories validating UPnP HVAC service conformance. Typical uses are networked fan speed control in residential or commercial HVAC systems, remote monitoring, and integration of HVAC fans into broader home/building automation platforms.

Related standards
