Step 3. Lay Out Communications and Power
Wiring
LONWORKS Layout
The communications bus, LONWORKS, is a 78-kilobit serial link
that uses transformer isolation and differential Manchester
encoding. Wire the L
ONWORKS using wires with specifications
set forth in Table 10. An FTT L
ONWORKS can be wired in
daisy chain, star, loop or any combination thereof as long as
the max. wire length requirements given in Step 2 are met.
NOTE: Due to the transformer isolation, the bus wiring does
not have a polarity; that is, it is not important which
of the two L
ONWORKS terminals are connected to
each wire of the twisted pair.
L
ONWORKS networks can be configured in a variety of ways,
but the rules listed in Table 9 always apply. Fig. 13 and Fig.
14 depict two typical daisy chain L
ONWORKS network layouts;
one as a single bus segment that has 60 nodes or less, and
one showing two segments. Fig. 15 shows examples of free
topology bus layouts. The bus configuration is set up using
the Network Manager tool.
