Design And Operation Of Lonworks System; Constructing The Lonworks Network - Mitsubishi Electric LMAP03U Technical Manual

5. Design and Operation of LONWORKS System

This section introduces the mechanism, function and operating method of LM ADAPTER in configuring the
system of LONWORKS network by LM ADAPTER. As the operating method shown here represents just one
of the examples, you are kindly requested to carry out your designing to meet the system configuration or
operation in the actual system.

5-1 Constructing the LONWORKS network

The flow of installation procedure for LONWORKS network is shown below.
Step 1: Addressing (to determine the address of each node)
Step 2: Binding (to connect network variables)
Step 3: Configuration (for optimum service of each connection, adjustment of
re-transmission frequency and interval)
(1) Addressing
An address is assigned to each node (equipment applicable to LONWORKS) on the LONWORKS network.
Set this address by using the install tool. Setting by using LM ADAPTER is not necessary.
(2) Binding
The network variables between each node should be related with the exclusive tool like LonMaker for
Windows ® or the like.
(3) Configuration
For the configuration property of LM ADAPTER, the initial value was set at factory shipment. The set value
may be changed depending on the configuration or operation of the network.
