Managed Network
A network where a shared network management server, such as LNS, is used to perform network
installation.
Mandatory Network Variable/Configuration Property
A network variable/configuration property that must be implemented by the functional block, as
specified by the functional profile that the functional block is instantiating.
Monitored Connection
A network variable connection in which the current values are being monitored, typically by an HMI.
The connector shape and reference connection in a LonMaker drawing demonstrate monitored
connections.
Network Interface
A L ON W ORKS device that provides a layer 2 or layer 5 LonTalk interface to an external host computer
such as a computer or a handheld maintenance tool. Network interfaces include IP-852 interfaces
(i.LON SmartServer with IP-852 routing, i.LON 100 e3 plus Internet Server with IP-852 routing, and
the i.LON 600 L
ON W ORKS -IP Server); the U10 USB network interface; and PCC-10 and PCLTA-10,
20, and 21 PCI network interfaces
Network Variable (NV)
Network variables allow a device to send and receive data over the network to and from other devices.
Network variables are data items (such as temperature, the state of a switch, or actuator position
setting) that a particular device application program expects to receive from other devices on the
network (an input network variable) or expects to make available to other devices on the network (an
output network variable).
Network Variable/Configuration Property Types
A network variable or configuration property type defines the structure and contents of the data object.
A network variable type can be either a standard network variable type (SNVT) or a user-defined
network variable type (UNVT). A configuration property type can be a standard configuration
property type (SCPT) or a user-defined configuration property type (UCPT)
Neuron 6000 Processor
Echelon’s next-generation Neuron chip. The Neuron 6000 processor is faster, smaller, and cheaper
that previous-generation Neuron chips. The Neuron 6000 processor includes a fourth processor for
interrupt service routine (ISR) processing.
Neuron C
A programming language based on ANSI C that you can use to develop applications for Neuron Chips
and Smart Transceivers. It includes network communication, I/O, interrupt-handling, and
event-handling extensions to ANSI C, which make it a powerful tool for the development of
L
ON W ORKS device applications.
Neuron Chip
A semiconductor component specifically designed for providing intelligence and networking
capabilities to low-cost control devices. The Neuron Chip includes a communication port for
connections to various network types.
Neuron Core
The Neuron core includes up to four processors that provide both communication and application
processing capabilities. Two processors execute the layer 2 through 6 implementation of the ISO/IEC
14908-1 Control Network Protocol and the third executes layer 7 and the application code. Series
6000 chips include a fourth processor for interrupt service routine (ISR) processing.
