LNS-database
In the LNS-database all configuration settings are stored and managed of a
so-called LNS Server.
LNS/LCA
Abbreviation for "LonWorks Networks Services Architecture"/"LonWorks
Component Architecture". This is a software platform developed by Echelon
with functions and data interfaces for the realisation of tools for LON, e.g.
for manual terminal operating stations, for PC visualisation and PC project-
ing tools.
LON®
LON
master capable communication network for decentralized industrial applica-
tions with time-uncritical requirements. Particularly LON is developed for
building automation. Central tasks are splitted in decentral tasks. So in every
distributed intelligence (node) an application processing occurs locally,
without the interruption of the other nodes in the network.
LonTalk®
LonTalk is the communication protocol, which defines the way LON nodes
communicate with each other at the individual levels of the ISO-OSI model.
LONWORKS®

mation. This is based on a comprehensively documented technology, which
is open to all who want to use it. This standard was developed by an inde-

conductor manufacturers such as Cypress and Toshiba.
