LonWorks Communications
General Information
The CIPer Model 50 can be connected to L
section "IF-LON" below), which is then plugged into to the CIPer Model 50 controller's USB 2.0 Host Interface
(see also section "USB 2.0 Host Interface").
This permits individual CIPer Model 50 controllers to be connected / disconnected from the L
network without disturbing the operation of other devices.
The L
W
network is insensitive to polarity, eliminating the possibility of installation errors due to
ON
ORKS
miswiring.
Different network configurations (daisy-chain, loop, and star configurations, or any combination thereof) are
possible (see also Excel 50/500 L
Connecting to a L
IMPORTANT
• Do not bundle wires carrying field device signals or LONWORKS communications together
with high-voltage 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.
• 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

Optionally, communication with physical I/O modules, with room and zone controllers, and with WEBS
Spyder 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
