The L W interface module conforms to the specifications of L

industry standard open network, so the
W compliant products manufactured by many different vendors, such as I/O terminals, sensors, drives, operator inter-

The transmit/receive data quantity can be selected from 0 through 8 bytes (64 bits) in 1-byte increments. One L
interface module enables the

ON ORKS
The network can be configured either in bus or free topology. The total transmission distance can be 1,400m in bus topol-
ogy and 500m in free topology. The free topology makes it possible to configure a flexible network.

About LON

®
The LON (Local Operating Network) technology is a network control system developed by Echelon, USA. The LON
technology is an intelligent, distributed network for communication with various sensors and actuators at a maximum of
32,385 nodes.
L W is the open control standard for buildings, factories, houses, and transportation systems. Now, L
ON ORKS
networks are widely used in major building automation (BA), process automation (PA), and many other industries in the
world.
Communication between application programs installed in LonWorks compliant nodes is performed using the LonTalk
protocol based on the reference model of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) issued by the International Standard
Organization (ISO).
