LONTALK
®
Adapters
DESCRIPTION
The Q7751C,H LONTALK
®
Adapters are high-performance
L
ONWORKS® interfaces for personal computers equipped with
a 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface
and a compatible operating system. Designed for use in
L
ONWORKS control networks that require a PC to monitor,
manage, or diagnose the network, the adapters are ideal for
industrial control, building automation, and process control
applications. The adapters feature an integral twisted pair
transceiver interface, downloadable memory, a network
management interface, and plug-and-play capability with
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98/2000 and Windows XP.
The adapter provides both LNS
®
network services interface
(NSI) functionality for use with LNS tools, and Microprocessor
Interface Program (MIP)-compatible network interface
functionality for use with LonManager
®
API-based tools.
Installation software for the adapter is provided with the
LonMaker™ Integration Tool, LNS DDE Server, and LNS
Application Kit software distributions, or may be downloaded
from the developer’s tool box section of the Echelon web site.
It includes a software-based control panel and a software
driver for Microsoft Windows 98/2000 and Windows XP. The
control panel provides a convenient means of setting and
modifying installation parameters, diagnosing card operation,
and displaying error messages. The adapter supports plug-
and-play operation, simplifying installation.
FEATURES
• 32-bit PCI adapter card for LONWORKS® networks.
• Plug-and-play capability with Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98/2000 and Windows XP
®
.
• Downloadable firmware allows updates without
accessing or changing hardware.
• Integral FTT-10A, RS-485, TPT/XF-78, or TPT/XF-1250
transceiver, and custom transceivers.
•LNS
®
network services interface (NSI) supports LNS
applications.
• CE Mark, U.L. Listed, cU.L. Listed.
• Network driver for Windows 98/2000 and Windows XP
available.
The LNS network operating system allows any number of
installation, maintenance, monitoring, and control devices to
exist in a system and to adapt to network configuration
changes automatically. Users can reconfigure the system from
any user interface device anywhere on the network and
ensure that all monitoring and control stations are always up-
to-date with respect to the system’s configuration. When used
with the appropriate software, the LNS network services
interface (NSI) functionality of the adapter allows the attached
host to run LNS applications.
In both NSI mode and MIP modes, the adapter also permits
the host PC to act as an L
ONWORKS application device,
running application-specific programs while the adapter
handles lower layer functions such as media access control,
collision avoidance, message validation, authentication, and
priority processing. The host application, including its network
variables, can be changed at any time without modifying the
adapter. The adapter combined with the host PC can also be
used with applications that require more processing power,
memory, input/output capability, or network variable
connections than are provided by the Neuron® Chip alone.
Firmware for the adapter is downloaded from the host PC.
This allows the adapter to be updated as new versions of the
software and firmware are released, without modifying or
physically accessing the adapter. This feature extends the
useful service life of the adapter, and minimizes the cost and
time associated with software and firmware updates.
