• LON FTT10 on Saia PCD®

    PCD2.F2400 and PCD3.F240

Introduction

The PCD2/3.F240x has two ports. It includes a LON transceiver that is fully compatible for a TP/FT-10 channel and a communication port that can be established by the use of a PCD7.F121S, PCD7.F150S or PCD7.F180S.

The LON transceiver supports up to 254 network variables. 7 NVs are used by default by PG5, so  247 NVs are available for the user.

 

The production of the LonWorks interface devices PCD2.F240, PCD3.F2400 and the LonWorks memory device PCD7.R582 was discontinued at the end of 2021 and the devices are no longer available.

As a replacement, we recommend the usage of BACnet.

Good to know

The production of the LonWorks interface devices PCD2.F240, PCD3.F2400 and the LonWorks memory device PCD7.R582 was discontinued at the end of 2021 and the devices are no longer available.

As a replacement, we recommend the usage of BACnet.

More information about LON communication you find under the following link
With the following PCDs it is not possible to configure the FTT10 communication modul in the device configurator PCD2.M5xx0/PCD3.M3xx0/PCD3.M5xx0/PCD3.M6xx0. However you can use it, if you have the compatible HW Version. You have to configure nothing in the slot where you want to put the FTT10 card.
Minimal PCD firmware is 1.24.02.
The PCD2/3.F240(0) is supported from PG5 2.1.300
