worst case delay between NCB modules. See Steps 7C and 7D.
• Enter a channel “Description”, if desired. Then Click OK to continue.
B) Add the standard L ON W ORKS router portion of the NCBs to the network drawing:
• Drag the Router shape to the drawing. The “New Router Wizard” window will be displayed.
• Specify the desired router “Name”, and click NEXT to continue.
• In the “Channel A” Name field, choose the custom Ethernet channel created in Step A (if this
custom channel does not appear, be sure the Xcvr Type field is set to All). In the “Channel B”
Name field, choose the standard L
ON W ORKS channel that the NETWORK connector on the NCB
module is connected to. Click NEXT to continue.
• Specify a “Location” and “Description”, if desired. “Ping Interval” can be set as desired. Click
NEXT to continue.
• Specify desired advanced router properties. Router Type : Configured is recommended.
• Click FINISH to complete the “New Router Wizard”.
• Repeat Step B for all NCB modules connected to the custom Ethernet channel created in Step A.
C) Add the Control Neuron Processor of the NCBs to the network drawing:
• Drag the Device shape to the drawing. The “New Device Wizard” window will be displayed.
• Specify the desired “Device Name”. These name given to each Control Neuron Processor should
correlate directly with the name of each associated router defined in step B above. Click NEXT to
continue.
• In the “External Interface Definition” section, choose “Existing Template”, click the down
arrow and choose the “NCBEL20” template. This template is automatically transferred to the
L
ON W ORKS \import directory during installation of the EtherPlug software. Click NEXT to
continue.
• In the “Channel: Name:” section, choose the custom Ethernet channel connected to Side A of the
router that was created in Step A (if this custom channel does not appear, be sure the Xcvr Type
field is set to All). Click NEXT to continue
• Specify a “Location” and “Description”, if desired. “Ping Interval” should be left at Never.
• Click FINISH to complete the “New Device Wizard”.
• Repeat Step C for all NCB modules connected to the custom Ethernet channel created in Step A.
There is no need to place Functional Blocks of the Control Neuron Processors on the LonMaker drawing unless
network variables will be used to interact with this device (network variables are used only in very isolated
cases). Network variables are discussed in section “3. N
ETWORK V ARIABLE C ONTROL ”.
A portion of an example LonMaker network drawing is shown in Figure 5. This network may consist of a
router at each floor of a multi-floor building. The drawing depicts the Ethernet channel for Building 100 and
the routers and network channels for the first two floors. The routers named “Router – Room …” are the
routers inside each NCB. The devices named “CNP – Room …” are the Control Neuron Processors inside each
NCB.
