EAGLEHAWK NX CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS

LONWORKS COMMUNICATIONS

General Information

The EAGLEHAWK NX can be connected to L
networks. This requires the use of an IF-LON (see section
"IF-LON" below), which is then plugged into to the
EAGLEHAWK NX controller's USB 2.0 Host Interface (see
also section "USB 2.0 Host Interface" on pg. 7).
This permits individual EAGLEHAWK NX controllers to be
connected / disconnected from the L
without disturbing the operation of other devices.
The L W network is insensitive to polarity, eliminating
ON ORKS
the possibility of installation errors due to miswiring.
Different network configurations (daisy-chain, loop, and star
configurations, or any combination thereof) are possible (see
also Excel 50/500 L W
ON ORKS
Description, EN0B-0270GE51).
Connecting to a L W
ON
IMPORTANT
Do not bundle wires carrying field device signals or
L W communications together with high-voltage
ON ORKS
power supply or relay cables. Specifically, maintain a
min. separation of 3 inches (76 mm) between such
cables. Local wiring codes may take precedence over
this recommendation.
IMPORTANT
Try to avoid installing in areas of high electromagnetic
noise (EMI).
Cable Types
The unit must be wired to the L
• level IV 22 AWG (Belden part number 9D220150)
or
• plenum-rated level IV 22 AWG (Belden part number
9H2201504) non-shielded, twisted-pair, solid-conductor
wire.
When possible, use Honeywell AK3781, AK3782, AK3791, or
AK3792 cable (US part numbers). See Excel 50/5000
L W Mechanisms, EN0B-0270GE51, for details,
ON ORKS
including maximum lengths.
Use wire with a minimum size of 20 AWG (0.5 mm
maximum size of 14 AWG (2.5 mm
IF-LON2
Optionally, communication with physical I/O modules, with
room and zone controllers, and with CentraLine PANTHER,
TIGER, and LION controllers can utilize LonTalk.
The IF-LON is equipped with a free-topology transceiver
(FTT10A) for communication (at a data transmission rate of
78 kbps) on L W ® networks (using the LonTalk
ON ORKS
protocol).
The L W network is insensitive to polarity, eliminating
ON ORKS
the possibility of installation errors due to miswiring. Different
network configurations (daisy-chain, loop, and star con-
figurations, or any combination thereof) are possible. See
Excel 50/5000 L W Mechanisms (EN0B-0270GE51)

for details.
