Frequently Asked Questions

What are the EMC precautions for LonWorks installations?

Keep LonWorks cables away from motor and brake resistor cables, ideally 200 mm apart. Cross cables at 90 degrees if necessary. Use screened cable.

What is the function of the MS (Service LED) and NS (Status LED)?

The MS LED indicates configuration status and potential issues, while the NS LED indicates if the node is configured and running normally.

What is the purpose of the LonWorks option MCA108?

The LonWorks option MCA108 is designed for communication with systems complying with the FTT and 78Kbps LonWorks standard.

How is the analog output 42 controlled via LonWorks?

The nviAnOut1 variable controls analog output 42, requiring par. 6-50 to be set to a 'Bus ctrl.' option.

How can the Neuron ID be retrieved for addressing nodes?

The Neuron ID can be retrieved via the Service Pin switch, Query and Wink command, or by manually entering it from the label.

What is the purpose of the Service Pin switch (O400)?

The Service Pin switch activates the Service-Pin function, which sends the Neuron ID over the network.

What are the maximum cable lengths for LonWorks network topologies?

Maximum cable lengths vary by topology, from 500 m for free topology without a repeater to 5400 m for double-terminated bus topology with a repeater.

How is the state of digital and relay outputs controlled?

The nviDigitOutput variable controls the state of digital outputs and relays, with a logical 1 indicating On and 0 indicating Off.

How many transceivers are allowed per network segment?

Up to 64 FT-X1/FTT-10 transceivers are allowed per network segment.

How is the speed reference sent to the frequency converter?

Speed reference can be sent as a percentage using nviRefPcnt or in Hz using nviRefHz.
