The standard for building services
L
on
W
orks
® technology is a standardised communication proto-
col which is well-established in building and industrial automa-
tion systems. Properties such as the decentralised intelligence,
modular design, requirement-based interfaces and the ability to
adjust to existing infrastructures makes L
on
W
orks
® an interesting
option for the transfer of data in the field level and for backbone
systems. The individual network participants, the “node” can ex-
change event-controlled data. L

W
orks
® forms the platform for
manufacturer-independent communication in multi-service
building automation systems.
PCD systems

all PCD systems. PCD classic controllers are connected to the
Saia PCD® COSinus operating system via IP 852 (Ethernet). L

FTT10 is also possible using a communication module, whereby
each module supports max. 254 network variables**. The PG5
contains a suitable Lon resource configurator for configuring the
Lon node and an FBox library for commissioning, testing, trans-
mitting and receiving network variables.
Configuration also takes place in the PG5, whereby configura-
tions of up to 800 network variables are permitted. A compre-
hensive Saia PG5® FBox library enables users to establish a con-
nection to the application program for almost every type of
standard network variable.
A L
on
optional module is always required for using the L
on
over
IP (IP 852). A PCD7.R58x is used for memory slots M1 or M2 for
PCD3.M5/M6, PCD2.M5, PCD1.M2 and PCD1.M0 controllers. The
PCD3.R58x module is available for I/O slots 0…3 for PCD3.M3
controllers with no M1/2 slots.
A “Lon communication module” is also required to connect
the Lon FTT10. This module provides PCD controllers with a
L
on
W
orks
® interface but without a router function. PCD1.M2
controllers require the PCD2.F2400 module and PCD3 control-
lers the PCD3.F240 module.
External L
on
FTT10 / IP gateways are also required to connect
FTT10 devices directly to the management system or other
L
on
IP 852 devices, for example. In place of a router, the applica-
tion program can also copy network variables on IP 852 via
PCD resources from any system.
