Echelon Makes Networking Everyday Devices Possible
The LonTalk® Protocol: ANSI/EIA 709.1
Robust, field proven standardized protocol
AAR standard for train braking
IEEE standard for rail monitoring
High performance, low cost transceivers for every application
A robust and comprehensive network management architecture
Complete suite of development tools
A reliable source of supply and service
The LONWORKS Industry Today
Billions invested by thousands of companies
Millions of everyday devices installed around us
A de facto and official standard for networking everyday devices
In homes, buildings, factories, and transportation systems
Adopted by AAR, ANSI, ASHRAE, IEEE, IFSF, and SEMI
Marathon CoachHigh-end RV motor coaches
Country CoachHigh-end RV motor coaches
Infotronics system uses LONWORKS to controls water heaters, heating, ventilation, air conditioning including hydronic heat
Each coach has two copies of a custom LNS application (network management and the graphical user interface) and 16 to 20 Echelon control modules
Two Liquid Crystal Displays allow the user to finger through easy-to-use menus
Eliminates centralized control (allowing for rerouting of commands should a wire be cut) and reduces the cost of building, installing, and maintaining wiring harnesses
Accent Electronic ControlsSalt Trucks
Integrated LonWorks system for salt dispensing trucks
Dashboard-mounted display and truck bed-mounted actuators allow a single operator to operate a salt spreading truck – other systems require two operators
Infrared receiver node mounted on vehicle dashboard allows an operator with an infrared remote control to reset operational parameters
Allows selection and dispersal of solid salt, liquid salt, granular sand or any combination of the three via a bin conveyor and the spinning dispersal disk
Conveyor and disk speed can be varied (automatically or manually)
Road salting data and road condition data in conjunction with GPS data
Metropolitan Bus Applications
PACE bus system, Chicago
GPS, fare box, engine/transmission control, passenger counting system
Uses FT-10 channel
Being retrofitted to 600 existing buses
NJ Transit, Newark
Fare box, destination signs, other multiplex wiring
Kansas City Metropolitan Transport
Bus tracking system
Radio sign post location system
AAR
LONWORKS controlled electro-pneumatic braking systems
