Echelon IzoT NodeBuilder - Manual (Page 277)

IzoT NodeBuilder Tool
A hardware and software platform that is used to develop applications for Neuron Chips and Echelon
Smart Transceivers. The IzoT NodeBuilder tool provides complete support for creating, debugging,
testing, and maintaining L
ON W ORKS devices. You can use the IzoT NodeBuilder tool all to create
many types of devices, including VAV controllers, thermostats, washing machines, card-access
readers, refrigerators, lighting ballasts, blinds, and pumps. You can use these devices in a variety of
systems including building controls, factory automation, and transportation.
IzoT Router
The IzoT router is included with the FT 6000 EVK. It includes the IzoT Server Stack and the FT
Terminators. The IzoT router supports FT and Ethernet interfaces and can be used to connect the FT
6000 EVBs to a host that is running the IzoT NodeBuilder software and IzoT Commissioning Tool.
LNS Device Template
A device template automatically generated by the IzoT NodeBuilder tool when you build a device
application. The LNS device template defines the external interface to the device, and it is used by the
IzoT Commissioning tool and other OpenLNS network tools to configure and bind the device
LNS Network Database
Each L ON W ORKS network has its own LNS network database (also referred to as the network
database), which includes the network and device configuration data for that network. The network
database also contains extension records, which are user-defined records for storing application data.
LNS Server
The computer containing the LNS global database acts as the LNS Server. The LNS global database
contains the group of L
ON W ORKS networks being managed with the LNS Server.
Local Client
A LonMaker computer that is also running the LNS Server.
Local Device
An FT 6000 EVB board running the NcMultiSensorExample application that receives SNVT_lux
and/or SNVT_temp_p output network variable updates from another device (a remote device). The
local device displays the temperature and light level values received from the remote device in the
Remote Info Mode panel on its LCD. A remote device may be another FT 6000 EVB board running
the NcMultiSensorExample application.
LonMaker Browser
Part of the IzoT Commissioing Tool, the LonMaker Browser is an LNS plug-in that provides a table
view of the network variables and configuration properties of selected devices and/or functional
blocks. The LonMaker Brower can be used to monitor and control the network variables and
configuration properties in a network.
LonMaker Drawing
A LonMaker drawing contains the graphical representation of a L ON W ORKS network.
LonMaker Network Design
A LonMaker network design consists of an LNS network database and a LonMaker drawing.
LonMaker Shape
A reusable drawing object related specifically to a L ON W ORKS device.
L ON M ARK
A distinctive logo applied to L ON W ORKS devices that have been certified to the interoperability
standards of L ON M ARK International.
