5 Incorporation of Logamatic 4000 in LON
networks via Logamatic LON-Gateway

5.1 Structure of the hardware

A main component of the products that communicate via LON data bus such as the Logamatic LON-
Gateway is the neuron chip. Each neuron chip has a unique ID, the neuron ID making each device
unique. For commissioning, operation, service or replacement, each device is identified via the
unique neuron ID. This ensures that no errors take place in communication.

5.2 Creating LON networks

For the creation of networks in which products from various manufacturers communicate via LON
data bus, special PC software, a so-called binding tool, is required. For each project, a new
database is created and stored separately.
Devices with LON data bus interface are incorporated into this PC software as LON nodes. For this
software incorporation, product-specific application files are required. These application files are
provided by the manufacturer and contain the product-specific data points, the so-called SNVTs
(for details, see Chapter 3). Input network variables (nvi) and output network variables (nvo) of the
various products are connected to one another in the PC software. This way, the required functions
are created in the PC software.
