Configuration Properties (CPs)
Configuration properties are data values that define the behavior of an application device by
determining the manner in which device application data is manipulated and when device application
data is transmitted. Configuration properties can be applied to the device, functional block, or network
variable level. Configuration properties can determine the functions to be performed on the values
stored in network variables. For example, a configuration property may specify a minimum change
that must occur on a physical input to a device before the corresponding output network variable is
updated.
Configured
A device state where the device has both an application image and a configured network image. This
indicates that the device is ready for network operation.
Connection
The implicit addressing established during binding. A connection links one or more logical outputs
(network variables or message tags) to one or more logical inputs. A connection may be represented
with a connector shape or a reference connection.
Connect Button
A button on an ISI device that the user can press to create a connection. The Connect button on an
Echelon Series 6000 EVB running the NcSimpleIsiExample or NcMultiSensorExample application is
the SW2 button on the right side of the board.
Connect Light
An LED on an ISI device that provides feedback related to the status of an ISI connection. The
Connect light on an Echelon Series 6000 EVB running the NcSimpleIsiExample or
NcMultiSensorExample application is LED2, which is located directly above the SW2 button.
Connection Host
A device that initiates the enrollment process by sending a connection invitation specifying a
connection assembly.
Connection Member
A device that has joined an ISI connection, but is not the connection host.
Connector Shape
A single connector used to connect a pair of network variables within the same subsystem.
Control Network Protocol (CNP)
The ISO/IEC 14908-1 Control Network Protocol. The CNP is a complete seven-layer communications
protocol, with each layer optimized to the needs of control applications. The seven layers follow the
reference model for open systems interconnection (OSI) developed by the International Standard
Organization (ISO).
Data Point
A network variable, configuration property, or functional block state (enabled or in override) that the
LonMaker tool can monitor and/or control.
Data Point Shape
A shape in the LonMaker Basic Stencil of the LonMaker tool that you can use to monitor and control
the values of network variables and configuration properties, and the states of functional blocks
(enabled or in override).
