CPC’s Einstein controllers communicate to their asso- ciated controlling devices (CC-100s, TD3s, etc.) and other Einstein controllers using a unique communication and addressing system called LonWorks, more commonly called “the Echelon network,”...
  • Page 6 Repeaters do NOT add to the maximum total devices you may have. Adding a repeater only allows you to increase the total length of wire used in your network.

  • Page 11 Place routers in between Einstein subnet groups so that each 64-node group is isolated from each other by routers. Routers can be wired in the middle of a daisy chain or at the start of one. In the illustrated example, the router is placed between Einstein #2 and Einstein #3 (making two segments), so that the daisy chain on one side of the router has a total of 58 nodes and the other has 48...
  • Page 12 For every daisy chain in your network, each end- point must be terminated. You may do this by either setting termination jumpers on the devices on the endpoints, or by wiring a Daisy Chain Termination Block at the end(s) of the daisy chain. Instructions for setting termination jumpers on Ech- elon devices may be found in the Echelon Network Device Wiring chapter of your Einstein RX or Ein-...

  • Page 14 Place routers in between Einsteins so that no more than 64 nodes exist on either side of a router. Place the router so that it splits the daisy-chain that con- nects all the other four-way repeaters, as shown in the illustration. In the illustrated example, the router is placed between Einstein #2 and Einstein #3 (making two segments), so that the daisy chain on one side of the...
  • Page 15 For every daisy chain in your network, each end- point must be terminated. You may do this by either setting termination jumpers on the devices on the endpoints, or by wiring a Daisy Chain Termination Block at the end(s) of the daisy chain. With all the daisy chains in a four-channel repeater installation, termination can be complex.
