ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS
USED TO INTERFACE
MULTIPLE APPLIANCES
Serial LonTalk® Adapter (SLTA) — A serial LonTalk
required
to
E-Bus and either a PC serial port or an approved modem using the
SLTA-10 EIA-232 port. The SLTA interfaces with LonSpec
software. There are specific null modem cable requirements for
proper connection to a modem. The SLTA has a DB-9 female
connection. Direct connection to a PC can be made with a DB-9 to
DB-9 cable or a DB-9 to DB-25 cable, based on the available PC
connection.
FTT Repeater — A repeater is available to increase the network
wiring length in an E-Bus network. The repeater is designed to be
installed in a standard field supplied 4 by 4 junction box.
Excel 15 — The Excel 15 Building Manager is a LonMark
compliant device that provides network management functions for
the E-Bus in a Light Commercial Building Solutions System. The
Excel 15 is compatible with the E-Bus and uses the free topology
transceiver (FTT). Individual Excel 15 Controllers and
Communicating Subbases distributed on the E-Bus perform
specific HVAC equipment control. The Excel 15 monitors and
controls both local and remote controller points. If E-Bus
communications are interrupted, the Excel 15 is capable of
stand-alone operation.
