Lon CommuniCation HEaRtBEat
The Controller continuously broadcasts a heartbeat

signal over the LON loop. This heartbeat is used for

verifying the integrity of the LON loop and for keeping

the field devices from going into a fault isolation

mode. Once every second, the heartbeat contains the

current time and date, which are used by the field

devices to log status events and calibrations.

The Controller continuously tests LON continuity by

sending out a heartbeat on one LON port and then

listening for it on the other LON port. The Controller

also broadcasts the heartbeat signal in the opposite

direction around the loop. This ensures that all field

devices, the LON Network Extenders (NE), and

communication wiring are correctly passing the digital

information around the loop.

The field devices use the heartbeat as a mechanism

to ensure that there is a communication path back to

the Controller. If the field device does not receive a

heartbeat for a period of time, the device will go into a

LON fault isolation. In this situation, the device opens

one side of the LON and listens for a heartbeat on the

other side. If the device doesn’t receive a heartbeat, it

listens on the other side of the LON and opens the

opposite LON connection.

tHEoRY oF opERation
During normal operation, the Controller continuously

checks the system for fault conditions and executes

user defined programmed logic that coordinates the

control of the field devices. At the same time, the field

devices are continuously monitoring for device based

fault and alarm conditions.

When a fault condition occurs, the Controller displays

the fault condition on the Vacuum Fluorescent Text

Display, activates the appropriate fault LED(s),

activates the Trouble signal using the Controller’s

internal enunciator, and de-energizes the Controller’s

Trouble relay.
