Network variable to network variable Message tag to message tag Functional block to functional block or device Device or router to channel Create custom shapes for complete subsystems

Easy Configuration with Plug-ins The generic view of a functional block . . . . . . the manufacturer’s device-specific view Compatible with multiple tools 240+ plug-ins available Over 50 manufacturers Single click access Enable/disable plug-ins—new! Simple LonWorks devices may not require any configuration other than to drop their functional block shapes on the drawing and connect their inputs and outputs More complex devices may require configuration of their internal paramaters In the past, this has been done with proprietary configuration tools, or with generic browsers built into installation tools such as the LonMaker browser shown here The LonMaker tool provides a better way to configure complex devices by supporting the LNS plug-in standard (*)Device manufacturers can create custom LNS plug-ins that provide a custom view of their device This view can significantly reduce the time required to configure a complex device, and minimizes the chances of making a mistake while configuring a device. As an example, here we see the traditional, generic view of a device provided by most installation tools, and the view of the same device provided by a plug-in The plug-in view is much easier to understand and use

Lower Network Maintenance Costs Automatically create accurate as-built reports Easy data monitoring Integrated device testing Selectively hide and show connections to simplify drawings—new! Spend less time resynchronizing networks—improved!

Reduced Network Commissioning Time LonMaker tool and plug-ins LNS Server HMI client IP-852 i.LON ® 100 or 600 The LonMaker tool can be used to install a network that does not have any workstations left on-site after the installation Or, the LonMaker tool can be used to install a network with a single workstation that acts as both an LNS Server and an operator interface (*)Larger networks may have multiple operator interface workstations running HMI applications LNS ensures that all operators have a consistent view of the network (*)Multiple installers may be using LonMaker or other LNS-based tools at the same time The client-server features of LNS ensure that all users have a consistent view of the network Remote users and interfaces can communicate with the LNS Server using a LonWorks network as shown here Using LonMaker 2, remote users and interfaces will also be able to use the Internet or an intranet such as a building LAN to communicate with the server This gives you the flexibility of locating a remote user anywhere there is access to the Internet, an intranet, or the LonWorks network LonMaker tool and plug-ins LonMaker tool and plug-ins Multiple users can modify a LonMaker network at the same time—new! Users need not all be online at the same time Every LonMaker tool automatically keeps a change log—new! Other LonMaker tools on the same network process this log Users can view the log

Increased Device Options Device choices further drive down network cost Now with LONMARK 3.4 support—new!

OEM Tool Integration Export all or part of a LonMaker drawing as an XML file May be invoked by another LNS application Import new or modified devices, functional blocks, or connections from an XML file Import may be invoked by another LNS application An OEM application can easily create or modify entire LonMaker drawings OEM applications can present completely customized front-ends to LonMaker Create a report from an XML file View export or import files using built-in XSLT transformations OEMs can easily create custom reports with custom XSLTs Create dynamic functional blocks Use with OEM controller programming tools

Proven Technology Works great for small networks… … and large networks 5 devices 15,000 devices 6,000 devices Over half a million devices installed with the LonMaker tool!

LonScanner Protocol Analyzer Copyright © 2004 – 2006 Echelon Corporation. All rights reserved. January 2006

LonScanner Introduction Captures, analyzes, characterizes, and displays all ANSI/CEA-709.1 packets on a channel Supports the most popular 709.1 network interfaces Runs on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 Simplifies packet log interpretation with a sophisticated transaction analysis system Displays device and network variable names in addition to network addresses Formats network variable values Displays comprehensive network statistics data

Supported Network Interfaces U10 and U20 USB Network Interfaces for all PCs PCC-10 PC Card Network Adapter for laptop use Standard or protocol analyzer version PCLTA-21 PCI Network Adapter for desktop use i.LON 100 Internet Server for local and remote monitoring via a LAN, WAN, the Internet, or IP-852 Monitor multiple remote sites simultaneously i.LON 600 LONWORKS/IP Server for monitoring a LONWORKS or IP-852 channel Monitor multiple remote sites or channels simultaneously All interfaces can be shared with LNS applications including the LonMaker Integration Tool

Naming and Formatting Displays device addresses, network variable addresses, and network variable data in raw form Use the LonScanner tool with any network installed by any installation tool, with self-installed networks, and with pre-configured networks Supports logical names for devices and network variables User can manually enter names User can import names from an LNS database Device names can include subsystem name NV names can include functional block name Formats network variable data based on LONMARK standard & user resource files Simplifies data interpretation For example: displays “84.9” or “29.4” instead of “2940” for a temperature value

Network Statistics Statistics include: Total packet counts Packet count by type Error packet counts—identify network problems quickly Network loading—identify network overload Displays network loading and error rate data in long-term trend graphs Provides easy identification of excessive network traffic or errors

LonScanner Unique Features The following features are unique to LonScanner: i.LON 100 and 600 support Network interface sharing with LNS applications Trend graphs Comprehensive statistics Simple LNS names import UNVT formatting based on LONMARK resource files Transaction color coding Circular log files Bookmark descriptions AutoScroll log control Powerful find tool
